Hello everyone!
We’re excited to finally bring Ente Photos to the Product Hunt community!
The story began in 2020, when we had to choose between privacy and convenience while storing our photos. We felt the need to engineer an experience that brought together the best of both worlds, for ourselves.
So we built Ente — an end-to-end encrypted, open-source and cross-platform photo storage app that brings together the best of both.
Here are some of our top features:
End-to-end encryption guarantees no third-party – not even Ente – can peek into your memories
Easily find photos of family and friends, with Ente’s on-device machine learning
Search for photos naturally, like “beach sunset in Hawaii” or “birthday party with mom”
Relive your best moments from past trips, celebrations and everyday life through curated stories
Securely access your photos on iOS, Android, macOS, Windows, Linux, and web; with seamless encryption
Share your plan with up to five family members
Ente is fully open source – if you are tech savvy, you can run Ente on your own servers in under a minute
Ente stores 3 encrypted copies of your data in 3 clouds, across 3 locations in the EU
To date, Ente Photos has protected over 200 million memories for thousands of people around the world. We’ve poured a lot of thought, care, and love into building this, and we really hope you like it!
We’re excited to hear your feedback and answer any questions you might have!

Love the encryption focus! How does it compare to existing cloud storage solutions? 🔒
@tobias_schmidt2 Thanks! Yes, the biggest difference is our end-to-end encryption focus. Unlike Google or Apple, we never have access to your data. At the same time, Ente offers all the cool features like natural language search, face recognition, memories, albums, etc., without compromising your privacy. Plus, we’re open-source and work across all platforms, so you're not locked into any ecosystem. We also offer 10GB of free storage forever.
