Choose a home for your photo library
A self-hosted photo library runs on your own computer, NAS or server. Some apps import files into their storage, while others browse an existing folder structure. Compare that behavior alongside mobile uploads, sharing, face grouping and search before committing a large archive.
Initial scanning and face analysis can be more demanding than everyday browsing. Check which AI components run locally and how remote phone access works. A photo library is also different from a complete backup plan: preserve your original files and the app's database, and test how you would restore them.
