    It is the best Google photos alternative I know. It even has pretty good AI-features, which work completely offline (of course you'll need an internet connection to sync your photos). It looks very good and makes me feel like my photos are stored in a safe place.

    It's simple enough for the average Google Photos user, who doesn't know how to self-host a server or do any technical configurations. Just install, transfer photos, and all your photos are backed up and available any time!

    I prefer ente to google photos as it provides end-to-end encryption to your photos, meaning you are the only able to see them, not even ente can decrypt them. The application is open source and ente's infrastructure whitepaper is publicly available. It has a smooth good-looking and simple app interface (android/ios/web), the prices are reasonable and the support is litterally just so fast. Recommended, as they also offer one year with 1GB of free trial.

    Great alternative for almost all the on-device / offline use cases. (If you do want to sync to a cloud account, you'll need another app for sync, but can still use this one locally.)

    One of the best alternatives for the offline capabilities of Google Photos (gallery, view, edit). Needs to be complemented with another app for cloud save / backup use-case.

    I had Google photos as default with sync turned off it kept on turning on. Thanks to this app I don't have to worry about that. I needed an app to act as a basic gallery app this does that no problem.

    Today Google Photos replaced the stock gallery on Android phones. If you need a more classic replacement for the Android Stock Gallery, F-Stop is good enough and has nice organization features.
