What is PhotoPrism?
PhotoPrism is a German AI-powered photos app for the decentralized web. Built from the ground up to run wherever you need it – at home, on a private server, or in the cloud – PhotoPrism uses the latest technologies to tag and find pictures automatically without getting in your way. Face recognition identifies your family and friends, automatic classification organizes pictures by content and location, and six high-resolution world maps bring back memories of your favorite trips. Because PhotoPrism is 100% self-funded and independent, they promise to never sell your data and to always be transparent about software and services.
