It's the most complete solution for tight budgets
pcom_why_cloud_p1
Above all, Piwigo is open source software, and absolutely free.
pcom_why_cloud_p2
It is built in an open, contributional way.
pcom_why_cloud_p3
Community members from all over the world contribute to it through coding, testing or translation.
pcom_why_cloud_p4
The open source model has now proven its worth in terms of cost, durability and scalability.
pcom_why_cloud_p5
But open source software requires installation, hosting, and frequent updates, and not everyone wants or is able to do it all.
pcom_why_cloud_p6
When you choose a Piwigo.com plan, you pay a membership fee to use Piwigo, and we take care of hosting it on the cloud.
pcom_why_cloud_p7
There's nothing to install or configure. Everything functions on your web browser, or via a mobile application.
pcom_why_cloud_p8
And if you change your mind, Piwigo.com allows you to move Piwigo to your own server.

pcom_why_security_backup_p1
Your data is backed up every night and we retain the last 30 backups, which means we can restore your files even if you delete them by mistake!
pcom_why_security_backup_p2
In addition, every 15 minutes our backup system checks for changes in your Piwigo account and saves them on the backup server.

pcom_why_security_data_p1
The key to understanding respect of personal data lies in a service provider's business model.
pcom_why_security_data_p2
Piwigo.com generates its revenue from customer subscriptions, not from advertising.
pcom_why_security_data_p3
"Zero advertising" means "zero targeting," which results in zero sharing of personal data with third parties!
pcom_why_security_data_p4
That's why your personal data and the digital content you store with Piwigo remain your property, and we will never use them.
pcom_why_security_data_title
Respect of your personal data
pcom_why_security_hosting_p1
We rent our servers from OVH, a French company.
pcom_why_security_hosting_p2
In the field of hosting, OVH is number 1 in Europe and number 3 worldwide.
pcom_why_security_hosting_p3
Each Piwigo.com account is hosted on one of our dedicated servers. This means that we have full control over the server, and it is not shared with any other OVH customers.
pcom_why_security_hosting_title
Europe-based hosting
pcom_why_security_servers_p1
Each server includes redundant hard disks. If a disk dies, its "twin" continues to operate on its own without any interruption of service or loss of data.
pcom_why_security_servers_p2
Each server also has a backup server, which is synchronized every night with the "master" server.
pcom_why_security_servers_p3
The two servers are not in the same data centers.
pcom_why_security_servers_p4
If a fire occurs in one data center, for example, we won't lose both servers at the same time!
pcom_why_security_servers_p5
Even though there is no such thing as zero risk, we do everything we can to ensure that your data stays safe.
pcom_why_security_servers_title
Redundant disk arrays and backup servers
pcom_why_security_title
Security and respect of your personal data
pcom_why_simplicity_p1
Finally, easy-to-use image library software!
pcom_why_simplicity_p2
Professional image library software is often a labyrinth. But not Piwigo.
pcom_why_simplicity_p3
We do our best to ensure that Piwigo, despite its many features, remains easy to learn for non-expert users.
pcom_why_simplicity_p4
We pay particular attention to the application's ease of use, and attach great importance to user autonomy.
pcom_why_simplicity_title
