Transparent pricing with no surprises
 
pcom_why_cloud_p1
 
At its core, Piwigo is open source software. This means transparency, durability, and freedom from proprietary lock-in.
 
pcom_why_cloud_p2
 
The software is developed openly, with contributions from a global community of developers, testers, and translators.
 
pcom_why_cloud_p3
 
Open source has proven its value over time: it ensures long-term sustainability, adaptability, and full control over your tools and data.
 
pcom_why_cloud_p4
 
However, running open source software requires installation, hosting, updates, and maintenance, which not every organization wants or is able to manage internally.
 
pcom_why_cloud_p5
 
With a Piwigo.com plan, you benefit from a fully managed SaaS service. We handle hosting, updates, security, and maintenance, while you keep the freedoms of open source.
 
pcom_why_cloud_p6
 
There is nothing to install or configure, and everything is accessible through your web browser or mobile applications.
 
pcom_why_cloud_p7
 
And if your needs change, you can move your Piwigo installation to your own infrastructure at any time, without rewriting your data or changing tools.
 
pcom_why_cloud_p8
 
Your system remains reversible by design.

pcom_why_security_backup_p1
 
Your data is backed up every night, with the last 30 backups retained. This allows us to restore your files even in the event of accidental deletion.
 
pcom_why_security_backup_p2
 
In addition, our system monitors changes every 15 minutes and saves them on the backup server, ensuring continuous protection of your media library.

Backup system
 
pcom_why_security_data_p1
 
Your data and digital content always remain your property.
 
pcom_why_security_data_p2
 
Piwigo.com does not share your data with third parties. There is no advertising, no profiling, and no data exploitation.
 
pcom_why_security_data_p3
 
If you decide to leave the platform, you can retrieve all your content free of charge. Unlike many software providers, we do not charge exit fees.
 
pcom_why_security_data_p4
 
At Piwigo, data ownership is not a marketing promise, it is a foundational principle.
 
pcom_why_security_data_title
 
Your data, your property
 
pcom_why_security_hosting_p1
 
With Piwigo, your data stays in Europe, away from the infrastructure of major non-European cloud providers.
 
pcom_why_security_hosting_p2
 
We retain full control over the hosting environment used for our clients. Our servers are operated by OVHcloud, a leading European cloud provider. Each Piwigo.com account is hosted on a dedicated server that we fully manage, without shared environments.
 
pcom_why_security_hosting_p3
 
This architecture guarantees full technical and legal sovereignty over your digital media.
 
pcom_why_security_hosting_title
 
European hosting, total control
 
pcom_why_security_servers_p1
 
Each server uses redundant disk arrays to ensure continuity of service. If a disk fails, its twin continues operating without interruption or data loss.
 
pcom_why_security_servers_p2
 
Every server is also paired with a backup server, synchronized nightly with the main server.
 
pcom_why_security_servers_p3
 
These servers are located in separate data centers, reducing the risk of simultaneous failure.
 
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
 
While zero risk does not exist, our infrastructure is designed to minimize operational and data loss risks as much as possible.

Security, data ownership and GDPR compliance
 
pcom_why_simplicity_p1
 
Professional image library and DAM software is often complex, technical, and difficult to adopt across teams. Piwigo takes a different approach.
 
pcom_why_simplicity_p2
 
Despite its advanced features, Piwigo is designed to remain intuitive and accessible for non-technical users. We place a strong emphasis on usability, clarity, and user autonomy.
 
pcom_why_simplicity_p3
 
Piwigo is built to support collaborative work within organizations, with clear permissions, roles, and governance.
 
pcom_why_simplicity_p4
 
Teams can quickly adopt the tool without long training cycles, while still benefiting from a robust and structured system.
