ChronoFrame is a self-hosted photo gallery for organising, displaying and sharing personal photographic collections. It combines a modern web interface with tools for managing albums, exploring photo locations and viewing detailed image information.
The application is aimed at photographers and enthusiasts who want control over how their images are presented online. Photographs can be uploaded and managed through an administrative dashboard, while visitors explore the collection using a responsive gallery interface.
ChronoFrame places particular emphasis on photographic metadata and visual presentation. It supports large images, displays information extracted from camera files and provides geographical browsing for photographs containing location data.
This is free and open source software.
