What it is

Search, tag, drop the rubbish, and keep your best work. Access across your devices. Right from your browser or desktop app!

PixlStash interface
Built for

Anyone drowning in images

Whether you're a photographer culling shoots, an AI trainer curating datasets or a hobbyist with a large image collection, PixlStash helps you bring order to the chaos.

Handle tens of thousands of images with ease, and spend more time creating and less time organizing.

The AI

Models that do the work, not just the finding

Semantic search and face recognition are the start. PixlStash also tags and captions with the engine you pick, scores for quality and malformed anatomy, and gives you a review queue for the labels it is least sure about.

All of it runs on your own hardware, CPU or GPU. There is no cloud API and no account to sign into.

What's New

PixlStash 1.11: get started much quicker

Import existing image folders: PixlStash reads a folder of pictures where it sits, proposes what each level of it means, and turns your folder names into projects, people and sets without moving, renaming or copying a file.

Version 1.11 also keeps your library organised in the folder structure of your choice, it handles analysis of big libraries much quicker and lets you export directly to folders.

PixlStash ComfyUI integration
Coming from Immich?

Immich is a great self-hosted home for your photos. PixlStash does a different job.

PixlStash is a tool for working with images, not just storing them: sorting photos, maintaining tags, prepping a dataset, and running images through generation tools. Yes, it can also work as a home server.

It does both of the AI features Immich is known for. CLIP semantic search, face detection and recognition, and duplicate detection are all here too. Immich has OCR and mobile apps with background sync, which PixlStash does not.

On top of those, with PixlStash you get:

  • Automatic tagging and captioning, with the engine selectable per request: our own PixlStash Tagger, WD14, Florence-2 or JoyCaption.
  • A tag review queue and a tag health board, so auto-tags are verified before they're trusted.
  • Quality, anomaly and character-likeness scoring, so a large set sorts by what is worth looking at.
  • Segmentation, reverse face search, reverse likeness search, and a choice of GPU or CPU backend.
  • Two-way ComfyUI integration: control ComfyUI from PixlStash, or call PixlStash's nodes from your own workflows. Generated images return tagged, with People, Picture Set, and Project associations attached.
  • A model overview. Keep track of your diffusion models.
  • Every AI feature, side by side with Immich's, and a whole host of other work features
