Why Photoview
Everything you need, running where you choose.
Get the full Photoview experience with Easypanel handling the repetitive infrastructure work around it.
File System Sync
Photoview syncs with your file system, automatically scanning for new media and adding it to keep your gallery updated. This gives you full control to organize your media how you want.
User and Sharing
Photoview allows multiple users, each with their own directory of photos and videos. Albums and individual photos or videos can easily be shared by generating a public or password-protected link.
Maps Integration
When photos are analyzed for EXIF metadata, this information is displayed next to the photo. If the photo includes GPS coordinates, Photoview presents the photos on a map using Mapbox integration.
Mobile App
Photoview has an official iOS app that allows you to quickly access your entire media library from your phone. Navigate, share, and download photos and videos directly within the app.
RAW Support
Photoview uses Darktable under the hood to convert RAW images, supporting many common formats.
EXIF Metadata
Photoview automatically extracts the metadata of images and videos and shows it in the sidebar. It's also used to present images on a map.
