About Ente Photos
Ente Photos is a fully open-source, end-to-end encrypted photo storage and management platform. All photos, videos, and metadata are encrypted on-device before upload, meaning even Ente cannot access your data. It features facial recognition, semantic search, collaborative albums, family plans, background uploads, and 3x data replication.
Ente's source code and cryptography have been externally audited by Cure53 (Germany), Symbolic Software (France), and Fallible (India).
