Key Features and Capabilities

  • Powerful Photo Management: Users can easily manage and browse photos through a web interface. The tool allows users to view photo locations on a map.

  • Smart Geolocation: It automatically extracts GPS information from photos. It uses Mapbox for geocoding and displays photo locations effectively on a map.

  • Dynamic Photo Support: ChronoFrame provides full support for dynamic photo formats, including Apple LivePhoto and Google-standard Motion Photo. It automatically detects and processes MOV video files to ensure dynamic photo effects are preserved.

  • Flexible Storage Solutions: The tool supports multiple storage backends, including S3-compatible storage and the local filesystem.

  • Simple Deployment: Deployment is straightforward, often requiring only one command using Docker. Notably, the system does not require a database (as it is based on SQLite3).

  • Responsive Design: ChronoFrame is optimized for user experience on both desktop and mobile devices. It supports touch operations and gesture controls, providing a native app-like experience.
