Your travel photos.
A beautiful website.
Turn a photo archive into an elegant travel portfolio with automatic organization, interactive maps and optional local AI — while keeping your photographs on your own server.
Don't just browse photos. Explore where they happened.
Trails & Frames turns GPS metadata into an interactive world map. At a glance you can see where the archive has taken you; zoom in and photo clusters separate into individual place albums.
Visitors can move naturally from the world view to a destination and then straight into its photographs.

Upload your photographs and let Trails & Frames organize them by place, date and content. Choose your own tags, optionally add local AI captions, and offer visitors direct LR or full-resolution downloads.
The site you are looking at is the live demo: the same platform is being used for this travel photography collection.
Easy installation with Docker.
The first release is a ready-to-run Docker package with a guided browser setup. You do not need to edit Python files, create a database manually, or configure systemd for a normal installation.

- 2Complete the setup wizard

Optional local AI
Use lightweight local models for automatic tagging and captions. AI tagging follows the categories you choose in the setup wizard, or you can leave AI disabled and organize everything manually.
Your photos, your server
Keep control of originals, metadata and the database. Visitors can download either LR copies or the original HR files directly, without a payment provider.
Docker package + guided setup.
The initial release focuses on a reliable self-hosted package with the setup wizard, GPS albums, maps, curation tools and optional local AI. AI is entirely optional and, when enabled, runs locally in the Docker installation; no remote AI service is required.
