Part of the rStack Ecosystem

Community photo commons

Share, organize, and explore photography together — with AI-powered recognition, shared albums, and full ownership of your memories.

rPhotos gives communities a shared photo platform powered by Immich. Upload from any device, organize into shared albums, and let machine learning handle tagging, facial recognition, and smart search. Your photos live on your infrastructure — not in someone else's cloud.

Everything a community photo platform needs

Built on Immich — the leading open-source Google Photos alternative — with community features layered on top for shared albums, role-based access, and federated storage.

📱

Upload From Anywhere

Web interface, mobile apps (iOS & Android), CLI tools, Syncthing drop folders, or API. Your photos arrive however you want to send them.

🤖

AI-Powered Organization

Automatic object detection, scene classification, and facial recognition. Smart search lets you find photos by describing what's in them — no manual tagging needed.

👥

Community Spaces

Create shared albums for your co-op, collective, or neighborhood. Role-based access lets members contribute while admins curate and organize.

🗺

Location Mapping

See where your community's photos were taken on an interactive map. Trace travel routes, document events, and build a spatial archive of shared experiences.

🔐

Data Sovereignty

Your photos live on your infrastructure. No cloud provider scanning your images, no AI training on your memories, no surprise Terms of Service changes.

🔄

Auto Backup

Mobile apps automatically back up camera rolls in the background. Never lose a photo again — with deduplication and efficient storage management.

🖼

Public Galleries

Share curated collections with the world through beautiful public galleries. Perfect for community exhibitions, event documentation, and portfolio showcases.

🎬

Video Support

Not just photos. Upload and stream video with hardware-accelerated transcoding, timeline scrubbing, and the same AI-powered tagging and search.
