About Piwigo

Piwigo is a photo gallery software built using PHP that requires a MySQL database and can be easily installed on your own server. Unlike its main competitors, Flickr and Picassa, Piwigo is a free open source web-based system. It brings to the table many cool features, being supported by an active community of passionate developers who constantly work on improving it and creating more features.

The Piwigo photo gallery initially started as a personal project called PhpWebGallery for Pierrick Le Gall back in 2001. He then decided to start building a community around his project, which resulted in releasing a free open source version of the photo gallery in 2002, under the GNU license. As its community of developers grew and it became more popular, the Piwigo features started to expand. Later that year it became multilingual and two years later a bug tracker was installed in order to facilitate team work and to improve communications amongst the community. In 2006 the photo gallery software became more flexible, allowing for customization through Piwigo themes.

The possibility to extend the Piwigo features through plugins was introduced in 2007 and two years later PhpWebGallery finally changed its name to Piwigo. The photo uploader became more powerful, making it easier for Windows, Mac and Linux users to upload their photos.

Piwigo features also include the ability to add watermarks to your photos in order to protect them against unwanted copy and organizing photos through tags. This way users can browse your albums by tags or multiple related tags. Other features examples include multiple size photos, from XXS to XXL for improved compatibility with various screen resolutions or securing the privacy of your albums by granting users different levels of permissions. It also offers a notification system, informing users of updates through an RSS feed and Social Media sharing options. Piwigo features can also be extended through plugins like displaying your albums in a lightbox.
