Your photos,beautifully managed.
An editorial photo home built for working photographers. Client galleries that feel like Photos, face recognition, and iPhone and Android apps your clients actually use. Hosted by us, or self-host the source.
Tap a photo.
Watch it grow.
Galleries that move like Photos on a phone — in any browser, with no app to install and no account to make.
- 01
Tap and it grows
The whole grid zooms into the photo you picked, and folds back into place when you close it.
- 02
A strip to scrub
Drag the thumbnail strip to fly through a session. Swipe, pinch to zoom, pull down to close.
- 03
Pinch the grid
Bigger tiles for one look, a dense wall for the whole day. The grid remembers.
- 04
A link per photo
Every photo has its own address, so “the third one on the beach” is a link, not a description.
Run the studio
from one screen.
The whole studio at a glance.
Recent albums, your biggest collections, and who's been in lately — the morning check-in, on one page.
A gallery they
actually open.
Clients land on their photos, not a login wall. On the web, iPhone or Android, it's the same gallery with your name on it.
- A sign-in link by email — no passwords to lose
- Their galleries, the moment you mark them ready
- Download everything as one zip, or photo by photo
- On their phone, save the whole album to the camera roll
Everything a studio needs.
Nothing you don't.
Editorial galleries
Client-ready albums that read like a portfolio, not a folder dump. Built for studios that care how their work shows up.
Face recognition
Find everyone in your library — weddings, events, the family album — without sending a single frame to anyone else.
Client galleries
Per-album sharing links, upload-enabled albums, and password protection — share with clients without giving them an account.
Your domain, your data
Runs on your hardware or ours. Your client work never lives on a stranger's server unless you decide it does.
S3 or any disk
Backed by AWS S3, R2, MinIO, or a plain drive. Bring the storage you already pay for.
AI photo labels
Auto-generated captions and tags make a decade-deep client archive searchable in seconds.
Have us run it,
or run it yourself.
We deploy it for you.
Tell us your domain, your storage, and your branding. We stand up a managed PhotoAura instance for your studio — updates, backups, and uptime on us.
- Managed instance on your subdomain
- Storage of your choice (S3, R2, our cloud)
- Brand colors and logo on the gallery
- We handle updates + monitoring
Or run it on your own box.
Clone the repo, run the stack, own the operation. The source is open and the docs walk you through it.
- One-command Docker stack
- AWS S3, R2, MinIO, or local disk
- Postgres + face recognition included
- MIT licensed
Your gallery,
live this week.
Tell us about your studio and we'll deploy a branded instance — or clone the source and run it yourself.
