Ratings and reviews

I decided to try Immich because Google photos was becoming too expensive for me. Even without all of the editing tools, the interface is very similar. Setting up the server is not a small task, but once it's up and running, the app works great for backup and viewing your image and video assets. I had an issue with delete not working, but found it was a permissions problem on the server, not the app itself. Can't wait to see what else the dev team has in mind to keep enhancing it.

Very good approximation to 'the other photo app.' The background and foreground upload options are nice, pretty good albuming and tagging from the little I've used of those so far, and a familiar and intuitive interface. I'll have to see if I can migrate descriptions from Google and a crop feature would be fantastic. Loving it so far for the almost year I've been following the project and I quite like having all of my data on premise.

By far the best self-hostable privacy-friendly Google photos replacement. Easily sync, search, browse photos/videos via high performance timeline on your phone or on a PC browser that feels right at home to any Google photos user. Only thing missing to me is a photo editor that lets me crop, rotate, and adjust saturation, brightness, highlights, etc. so I can finally uninstall the G photos app.
