mastodon 4.7.3AI-Powered Photos App for the Decentralized Web, 100% Self-Funded and Independent
Want captions, and more accurate labels than the built-in models produce? PhotoPrism can generate both with a vision model you run yourself, using Ollama. Most of our compose examples already include it. A GPU keeps it quick, but it runs without one. 🤖

Equirectangular 360° photos and videos now open in an interactive sphere viewer — drag to look around, scroll or pinch to zoom, and keep looking around while a 360° video is playing. There is no separate mode to switch on. 🌍✨ https://docs.photoprism.app/user-guide/organize/panoramas/
Not every contribution shows up in a release note. Since 2024, keif888 has landed 16 pull requests here — much of it making our acceptance tests faster and steadier, plus fixes to search, SQLite, and metadata handling. Thank you! 🙏✨ https://github.com/keif888

Thank you to everyone who starred, opened an issue, sent a pull request, or helped translate the interface — and to our members, whose support funds the work. PhotoPrism has been developed in the open since 2018.
Menus opening the moment your pointer drifts past them? Settings now has an Accessibility section where you can switch that off, reduce interface animations, and hide the permanent scrollbar. Small things, but they make the interface a lot calmer to use. 🎨 https://docs.photoprism.app/user-guide/settings/general/#accessibility
There is no PhotoPrism app in the app stores, and most people do not need one: open your library in Safari or Chrome, add it to the home screen, and it launches like a native app. Twelve home screen icons to choose from, plain logo through rainbow. 📱
Uploads behind Traefik cutting out after about a minute? That is its default 60-second read timeout, and it covers the whole request body, so large videos never finish. Our reverse proxy guide now spells out the entry point settings that are easy to miss. 🔧

Already named faces in Lightroom, digiKam, or Adobe Bridge? Those face regions can now be imported from XMP — sidecar files and embedded metadata alike — so nobody has to be tagged twice. Enable it under Settings › Advanced. 👥✨ https://docs.photoprism.app/user-guide/library/metadata/
We are happy to announce that interactive 360° panorama photos and videos, a multi-page PDF viewer, 16K thumbnails, and improved XMP metadata support are now available as part of our latest stable release! 🌈💎✨ https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism/releases/tag/260728-bbde8f452
Downloaded an album and every file is named DSC_0042? The new Collections settings tab lets you pick share friendly names like 20260728-181530-Sunset-Beach.jpg, choose what goes into the archive, and set the sort order new collections start with. 📦

@freeminded@tooting.ch it's possible that the existing filesystem permissions are preserved in the archive, especially if not all files are affected. In that case it should help to update/correct the permissions of all files in the originals and storage/sidecar folders.

Zooming into a photo and finding it soft is usually the preview size limit, not the original. Previews now go up to 16K UHD — raise the static and dynamic size limits under Settings › Advanced to match your files, keeping an eye on storage. 🔍✨ https://docs.photoprism.app/user-guide/settings/advanced/
