Built for studios

Everything a studio needs.
Nothing you don't.

01

Editorial galleries

Client-ready albums that read like a portfolio, not a folder dump. Built for studios that care how their work shows up.

02

Face recognition

Find everyone in your library — weddings, events, the family album — without sending a single frame to anyone else.

03

Client galleries

Per-album sharing links, upload-enabled albums, and password protection — share with clients without giving them an account.

04

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.

05

S3 or any disk

Backed by AWS S3, R2, MinIO, or a plain drive. Bring the storage you already pay for.

06

AI photo labels

Auto-generated captions and tags make a decade-deep client archive searchable in seconds.

Two ways to ship

Have us run it,
or run it yourself.

Hosted by Rad Soft

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
Self-host

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
Set up your studio

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.
