Piwigo shines when it comes to classifying thousands or even hundreds of thousands of photos.
Born in 2002, Piwigo has been supporting its users for more than 22 years. Always evolving!
Source code is available, editable, auditable and extendable thanks to plugins and themes.
My customers ask to have a private, online folder with their stories. I also have media folders, which contain public archives but whose HD files are only available to authorized users. Uploading is super-easy, very automatic and the presentation is perfect. The presentation and download options are very well thought out. I use PWG Stuff for my home page, SmartAlbums, SocialButtons, Community, LocalFileEditor... there are many plugins to choose from, and everyone can create their own ideal gallery. I have over 74,000 HD photos in the gallery. In use, Piwigo makes you forget about it and saves you time.

Our Piwigo, Images du Revest, is an initiative of 2 associations dedicated to history, heritage and culture. It's a contributive inventory where geolocation, description and comments are as important as the image. Piwigo is a complete CMS that goes far beyond a simple online album: it's thanks to its collaborative mode that Piwigo made possible our beautiful exhibition and the writing of the associated book. Fine-tuned rights management makes behind-the-scenes work practical, efficient and discreet. Our Piwigo is the 4th component of our web communication, along with the Carnets, the forum and a curation tool. The images in the album can already be used on the forum, and soon in the Carnets, and the style of the different sites has been easily standardized, so that readers have the impression of staying in the land of knowledge, while moving from one site to another. We're enthusiasts, volunteers, passers-on of knowledge, and Piwigo is our tool and our vehicle for sharing knowledge about our village of Revest-les-Eaux.

I looked at all the photo servers and Piwigo remained. Easy to use and full of practical extensions. Highly recommended!

With Piwigo's help we have put over 3,800 photos on our website to display the village and its people, both past and present and so it has become a history of our past, a record of our achievements. Piwigo enables us to link items together, in a time frame, and provide details through photo enlargements and text and be a depository for photos that can be used by all. Our school's children learn the history of the village and by the use of the quizzes learn about how to research subjects.
