Photofield is an self-hosted photo gallery, distributed as a single binary, designed around one obsession: speed and simplicity. Where other galleries struggle beyond a few thousand images, Photofield smoothly scrolls through over 100,000 photos, from overview to the finest detail.

Its approach is deliberately non-invasive: it reads directly from the filesystem, requires no heavy database, and never modifies your original photos. You can use it standalone or as a complement to another gallery solution. The tags you add are stored separately, not written into the files.

Light on resources, it runs comfortably on a modest server while remaining responsive. It supports JPEG, PNG, WebP, and AVIF formats, as well as video, making it an ideal viewer for large photographic archives.
