Manage your photo library with Piwigo

I am a photography enthusiast, sharing lots of free stock photos and photos from hiking trips in New Zealand. I have close to 3,500 images in my Piwigo photo gallery, and all is running very smooth. I discovered Piwigo in 2015. I needed to replace a discontinued photo gallery with something new and Piwigo ticked all the boxes for me. I never looked back - setup was fairly straightforward and maintenance is effortless. No fuss, things just work. And when something breaks (I had a broken version update once) then I received immediate help on community forums and the issue was resolved within a few hours. Frankly, that's faster than paid-for commercial support with most vendors I know of. One important factor why I picked Piwigo over other available options is the community spirit. I prefer supporting software that is available for everyone to use in any way they like. This is profoundly different from vendor lock-in and EULAs full of small print, that you find with proprietary products.

Our sports club has been using Piwigo since the end of 2014 and we are very happy with it. We have replaced another software that was much more complicated to use. Our photo archive has become an indispensable part of our club life, as it allows us to make pictures of sporting events available to members. It is particularly important that we can regulate the authorization and thus the access to the photos very well via groups and that the various members only have access to events for which they are authorized. This is super easy to manage by dividing the system into different albums. The system is always available, easy to use after a short training period and self-explanatory in many places. As far as service is concerned, I have to say that in the past almost all problems and queries have been solved quickly and easily. I am very happy to recommend Piwigo.

I chose Piwigo to manage our photo library and I'm completely satisfied. Piwigo is cheaper, simpler and more powerful than our old software. A library of plugins allows real customization of the solution. I'm a particular fan of the ergonomics, and I recommend Piwigo without hesitation!

After using many so called photography specific web hosts over the years, I could never find one with software that worked how I wanted it, always how they wanted it. Then I chanced on Piwigo one day, and created our family website of 4,000 photos. Next I created my own Piwigo website, with my 50 years of photographs in mind. What a joy! Piwigo is the three 'P's - Powerful, a Pleasure to use, and Pleasing to the eye. Thank-you Piwigo Team!
