HomeGallery

Browse and search your private photo library from your own files.

Visit HomeGallery

HomeGallery is a self-hosted, open source web gallery for browsing personal photos and videos stored in your own files and folders. It keeps the existing folder structure intact while presenting a gallery interface on top of it, so media can be explored without moving or reorganizing files.

Features include AI-powered image discovery with similar-image search, tagging and face recognition for finding people, reverse geolocation for GPS-tagged photos with map browsing, and flexible search expressions for custom filters. It runs on Docker, Linux, Mac, Windows, and as a PWA, and is written in JS/TS for both backend and frontend, allowing extension.

HomeGallery is aimed at individuals who want to browse their own photo and video collections on infrastructure they control. It is distributed as open source software; no paid editions, trials, or seat-based plans are indicated.
