Transparent pricing with no surprises
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_backup_title
Backup system
pcom_why_security_data_p1
Your personal data and digital content always remain your property.
pcom_why_security_data_p2
Piwigo.com does not share your data with any third parties: no advertising, no profiling.
pcom_why_security_data_p3
And should you ever decide to leave the platform, you can retrieve all your content free of charge—unlike many software providers, we don’t charge any exit fees.
pcom_why_security_data_p4
At Piwigo, your rights and your data come first.
pcom_why_security_data_title
Your data, your property
pcom_why_security_hosting_p1
With Piwigo, your data stays in Europe—far from the servers of Amazon or Microsoft.
pcom_why_security_hosting_p2
We retain full control over all the content hosted for our clients.
pcom_why_security_hosting_p3
Our servers are provided by OVHcloud, the leading European cloud provider and one of the top three worldwide. Each Piwigo.com account is hosted on a dedicated server that we manage entirely—no shared environments, no surprises.
pcom_why_security_hosting_title
European hosting, total control
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, data ownership and GDPR compliance
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
