What's New

PixlStash 1.8: a justified grid layout

Thumbnails can keep their own aspect ratio and fill each row to the full grid width, instead of being cropped to squares, with one size control for both layouts. This release also adds background imports, a Scrapheap that only auto-empties if you set a retention window, and a chart comparing your star ratings with the Smart Score.

Coming from Immich?

Immich is great! If you want a self-hosted home for your photos, use it. 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. It also works as a home server, though if that is all you need, Immich is simply better.

With PixlStash you get:

  • A tag review queue, so auto-tags are verified before they're trusted.
  • Segmentation, selectable taggers, 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.
  • And a whole host of other work features
