I discovered this photo presentation application more than 3 years ago while preparing my new website hosted by Infomaniak in Geneva, Switzerland: Piwigo was proposed as an expert and easy-to-use application for distributing photo albums all over the place. I'm Swiss, I live in Switzerland and I've been an amateur photographer since I was a teenager. I mainly take photos when I'm travelling around the world, particularly in Europe in recent years, since I'm retired and I travel with a relatively compact and very comfortable motorhome. That's why I've called my site 'Images de Voyages': they're listed by year and by place visited. I use Piwigo both as a public gallery for my travel photos and as a means of archiving the wealth of images I produce every year (perhaps too many according to some!?!). Piwigo offers both a means of getting an immediate and complete view of a photographer's experience and a fantastic opportunity to share with the whole world (?) the emotions I feel when I take a photo. Piwigo is a marvellous tool, with no limits except perhaps a few technical faults, but all this can be improved thanks to the sharing on the user forum and the wisdom of the Piwigo team.

AaDT64 has been using Piwigo for 6 years. Our communications department is called upon daily to provide photos of our region to various service providers: press, tourist offices, tourism service providers, students.... Piwigo is the solution that enables us to make more than 6,000 photos available, with access rights managed according to the user's profile and the rights restrictions on each photo. Piwigo is reliable (no incident in 6 years), easy to use, a perfect solution and free (!). Thanks to the whole team of contributors for the quality of this tool!

We use Piwigo as an image database with different, password-protected levels. This allows our distributors and dealers from all over the world to access our product images at any time and according to their access authorization. Piwigo is easy and efficient to manage and intuitive to use.
