Coppermine is a web-based photo gallery application written in PHP. It provides a comprehensive collection of tools for uploading, organising, displaying and sharing photographs on a self-hosted website.
The software uses MySQL for storing gallery information and supports GD or ImageMagick for processing images. Photographs can be organised into albums and categories, with automatic thumbnail generation and different image sizes for browsing and viewing.
Coppermine includes user registration, group-based permissions and private galleries. Administrators can control access to albums, moderate comments and customise the appearance of the gallery through its theme system.
Additional features include metadata support, slideshows, image ratings, favourites and search facilities. The software also provides plugins for extending its functionality.
This is free and open source software.
