Gallery - Group picures by face

kasine

Hello,

I am looking to a tool to group pictures by face (with privacy).

Do you know one?

Thanks

Hmm, there should be some machine learning engine involved, and it's a power-intensive work for a phone. But if you are talking about where you host your pictures, this is then reasonably possible. E.g., Immich, Photo Prism, etc.

It looks like Ente can do this:

You can search for your photos by the Faces of the people in them. Ente will show you all the faces in a photo, and will also try to group similar faces together to create clusters of people so that you can give them names, and quickly find all photos with a given person in them.

Note: I don't use the app myself, so I can't say anything more specific about it.

Murcielago thanks. Indeed it seems it could do that but it require to upload pictures and I would like to avoid this. Directly localy on the phone would be perfect. Otherwise on Linux could be fine also.

Yes, and it works quite well. The whole machine learning thingy happens locally on your phone.

You could try self-hosting Ente instance. Maybe in a home lab. All the code, including the server code is open source, and they use the same code in production.

Just in case, Ente passed a security audit by Cure53.
