Lychee is a free, self-hosted photo gallery designed to manage and share your images from your own server. Elegant and fast, it allows you to import your photos in seconds — via drag-and-drop, from your mobile, or via a link — and organize them into albums and sub-albums.

Lychee automatically reads EXIF metadata (camera, lens, date, location), generates thumbnails, and offers convenient search. For sharing, you have full control: public, private, or password-protected albums, along with share links with an expiration date.

Designed to respect your privacy, Lychee keeps your images on your infrastructure, with no advertising or profiling. The multi-user support, responsive interface, and polished experience on both desktop and mobile make it a sovereign alternative to the cloud galleries of major players.
