Leaving Google Photos? Immich, managed for you.
Honest switching guide · Immich is open source · runs on the €9/mo plan
Where do my family photos live — and who trains on them? Immich is the open-source answer to Google Photos — and on ezhost you get it without touching a server: one click, your own subdomain, TLS, daily encrypted backups.
Launch Immich — free trial →Free trial — no credit card, cancel monthly.
What you give up (honestly)
- Google's search magic ("show me beach 2019") is ahead — Immich's ML search is good and improving, but not identical.
- Seamless sharing with people who all have Google accounts.
- Free storage up to 15 GB (shared with Gmail/Drive).
What you gain
- Your photo library on infrastructure you control, in the EU, exportable anytime.
- Automatic mobile backup (Immich apps for iOS/Android), face recognition, timeline — self-hosted.
- No ads model behind your family pictures.
How switching works
1. Launch Immich on ezhost (about a minute). 2. Export your data from Google Photos. 3. Import — most apps have direct importers; if you get stuck, email support@ezhost.app and a human helps. And because Immich is standard open-source software, you can leave ezhost anytime with your data — that exit door is the point.
