What’s New Version v5.0.0
Contains every single commit from Immich v3.0.1
Description
• Automatic Backup
Photos and videos from your phone back up automatically to your Gallery server. Works in the background, resumes on interruption, and never duplicates.
• Powerful Search
Find any photo instantly. Search by location, date, people, camera, tags, or even what's in the image using AI-powered smart search.
• Shared Spaces
Share photos with family, friends, or co-workers. Create spaces with different members, each with their own permissions. Activity log shows who added what.
• Face Recognition
Gallery automatically groups photos by person. Name the people you know and find all their photos instantly.
• Map View
See where your photos were taken on an interactive world map.
• Albums & Tags
Organise your library your way with albums, tags, favourites, and ratings.
• Deduplication
Never worry about duplicate uploads. Gallery detects and handles them automatically (photos and videos).
• External Libraries
Connect existing photo collections from network drives or disks without importing.
• Full Control
Every feature runs on your own server. No data leaves your network unless you explicitly share it.
REQUIRES A GALLERY SERVER
Gallery is a self-hosted solution. You need to run the Gallery server on your own hardware. Setup takes about 5 minutes using Docker.

OPEN SOURCE
Gallery is free and open source, forked from Immich with additional features focused on shared spaces and privacy. Source code is available on GitHub.
PRIVACY BY DESIGN
• No analytics or tracking
• No ads, ever
• No cloud storage - your server, your data
• End-to-end control over who sees what
