For PhotoPrism alternatives, import a controlled library with RAW, JPEG, videos, duplicate names, and location metadata.
- Verify originals are preserved byte-for-byte and thumbnails are regenerated separately.
- Check date, timezone, face or object search, albums, and manual corrections.
- Test mobile upload, access roles, sharing, and backup/restore of both media and database.
- Measure indexing time and resource use on your actual hardware.
- Export albums and metadata and confirm they can be reconstructed elsewhere.
A gallery can look polished while leaving its organization locked in a database. Keep an independent copy of originals.
