digiKam

Open-source photo management suite

Description

Tens of thousands of photos build up and folders and filenames stop being enough; finding one by face, place or time means scrolling forever. digiKam is made for that scale — open-source professional photo management where tags, face recognition and map location turn a huge library into something searchable.

From the KDE community, open-source and free, on Windows, macOS and Linux.

Features



Database-driven management: it indexes the whole library in a database and organizes by tags, ratings, albums and timeline, so even tens of thousands search instantly.

Face recognition: it detects and groups faces automatically, so you find photos by person — a big help for family albums.

Geolocation: it reads GPS data to place photos on a map, or lets you pin them manually, to revisit trips by location.

RAW and editing: built-in RAW decoding and a full set of image-editing and color tools mean managing and refining happen in one app.

Batch and export: batch rename, convert and watermark, and export to photo sites or slideshows in a click.
