As a professional photographer, I have been using piwigo for 1 year. The feature in piwigo took my attention is I could create categories and let specific users access to them with a password so easily. So I could offer privacy to my clients with the ease of browsing that piwigo offers. I have over 5000 images in my piwigo system. One of the best thing is after you upload original files resizing to different sizes are done only once. Once file is resized it is cached and ready to be served from the disk. The mobile site is fantastic. I could show a gallery to anyone without teaching the interface. Mobile apps makes upload very easy.

Other solutions had no simple way to group and organize photographs. Piwigo is so much better here so I don't have to care about the technical stuff. It simply works. For years now.

I've been using Piwigo the last few years since Flickr announced their 1,000 photo limit to free users. I used a Piwigo plugin to directly import my 11,000+ photos and groups from Flickr into my self-hosted Piwigo instance. It's been working flawlessly since and I have many of the social interactions expected such as comments, facial recognition, geolocation, ratings, etc.

Piwigo absolutely delivers on every front. If you need fine control over presentation, have large storage requirements, or need special features like payments or copyright handling (in plug-ins), there is no alternative to this software. My own gallery has grown to 130 albums, and 10GB in JPEGs, with no performance or technical issues. This is great software.
