Intent

I need it when

Share photo albums securely with family members without compromising privacy

Ente Photos enables end-to-end encrypted album sharing with family members and supports family plans allowing up to 5 additional members to share storage without sharing data. Users can also create password-protected, expiring public links for non-members to view or contribute photos.

Search through large photo libraries using natural language and visual recognition without relying on cloud-based AI

Ente Photos uses on-device AI for face recognition and object detection, enabling natural language search and hierarchical search capabilities without sending photos to external servers for processing.

Store personal photos with absolute privacy and prevent unauthorized access to sensitive memories

Ente Photos provides end-to-end encryption for all photos and metadata, ensuring only the user can view their data. The app includes hidden photo functionality locked behind authentication, allowing users to secure sensitive memories from device access.

Migrate from Google Photos or Apple Photos while maintaining data portability and avoiding vendor lock-in

Ente Photos provides a powerful desktop app for importing data from Google Photos, Apple Photos, Amazon Photos, and local storage. The app also supports easy incremental export, ensuring users can retrieve their data at any time.

Backup photos across multiple devices and platforms while maintaining automatic synchronization

Ente Photos offers cross-platform apps for Android, iOS, macOS, Linux, Windows, and web with background upload capability. New photos are automatically encrypted and synced across all devices, and data is replicated to 3 different geographic locations for redundancy.
