About foss_photo_libraries
foss_photo_libraries is a community-maintained project that tracks and compares free and open source photo library software, with a primary focus on gratis (free of cost) options. It also accepts submissions for libre (free speech) open source projects, though these may require pull request submissions due to the time needed to test each tool.
The core of the site is a detailed comparison table that evaluates dozens of popular photo library projects across a wide range of features, including mobile app availability, geolocation support, face recognition, and multi-user support. Each feature is marked with an emoji to indicate if it is fully available, partially available, or missing, with optional subjective quality scores on a 0-10 scale for additional context. The site also links to related resources like Awesome Self-Hosted and Awesome Privacy for users seeking additional photo project options.
