Why Ente Photos?

Ente Photos is designed for those who truly value their memories. With end-to-end encryption and secure backups in three locations, your photos stay truly private and safe. Powerful on-device AI helps you find faces and objects instantly, while curated stories bring cherished memories to the present. Share encrypted albums with loved ones, invite family at no extra cost, and lock sensitive images with a password.

Features:

END-TO-END ENCRYPTED STORAGE: Your photos and videos are encrypted on your device, and then automatically backed up to the cloud.

SHARE AND COLLABORATE: Let your family or friends add photos and videos to your albums. Everything, end-to-end encrypted.

RELIVE YOUR MEMORIES: Through the stories Ente curates for you, relive your memories from previous years. Easily spread the cheer by sharing them with your loved ones or friends.

SEARCH FOR ANYONE AND ANYTHING: Using on-device AI, Ente helps you find faces and key elements in a photo, so you can search through your entire library using natural language search.

INVITE YOUR FAMILY: Invite up to 5 family members to any paid plan at no extra cost. Only your storage space is shared, not your data. Each member will receive their own private space.

AVAILABLE EVERYWHERE: Ente Photos is available on iOS, Android, Windows, Mac, Linux and the web, so you can access your photos and videos from any device you have.

NEVER LOSE YOUR PHOTOS: Ente stores your encrypted backups in 3 secure locations—including an underground facility—so your photos stay safe, no matter what.

Ente Photos used to work so well for me. And the website still does for the most part. But the app itself keeps closing on me after 3 seconds of being in the app once it's opened. I'm trying to read the text to a funny Facebook meme I shared to Ente, but the moment I open the app and IMMEDIATELY click the picture, Ente closes. Get back in and try again, closes. I'm giving 3 stars because the website works. The app doesn't.

Google Photos, goodbye!! I haaaaate Google Photos..... So I love that I found something that seems to be a great replacement, to serve as main backup to my device's Gallery! One that actually allows syncing across albums and some actual user control. Although it isn't that confusing to use, I still have questions on how to utilize it correctly and it definitely has room for improvement, but I'm loving it so far!! Support is top-notch, too, btw.... Responsive and friendly!

Moved 60k pics from Google Photos to this. 1) The Memories function, one of the main reasons I chose Ente to replace Google, isn't smooth. Sometimes I'll look at a year's memories partially or all the way through, and when I go to another year, it's like I didn't look at the first year, because it starts at the same point it started at the first time, and I have to swipe through all the photos again to see "new" ones. 2) The setup process should recommend enabling AI during uploads to expedite
