PixelUnion Surpasses 3,000 Users

We are thrilled to announce that PixelUnion, our privacy-first photo startup from Europe, has reached an incredible milestone: 3,000 users! What makes this achievement even more special is that every single user joined organically—without ads, outside funding, or even an official launch. This is a testament to the growing demand for tools that prioritize privacy and simplicity.

PixelUnion offers a clean, web-based alternative to Big Tech photo hosting, hosted entirely in the EU with no ads, no tracking, and no data mining. Built on open-source foundations, our platform is designed for users who value privacy and control without the hassle of technical complexity. Our users enjoy up to 16GB of EU-hosted storage completely free, with paid plans available for those who need more space.

“It started simple, but we are quickly seeing that there is a crazy demand for tools that respect privacy and just work,” said Bram Koch, founder. “We’ve even seen traffic from the U.S. and other regions—this clearly isn’t just a European thing.”

This milestone is not just about numbers; it’s about the trust and support of our community. We are deeply grateful to each and every one of you who has joined us on this journey. Your feedback, enthusiasm, and belief in our mission inspire us every day.

As we look to the future, we are working hard to expand our features and structure the company. We are also exploring ways to make PixelUnion even more accessible and user-friendly, ensuring it remains a safe haven for your cherished memories.

Thank you for being part of the PixelUnion family. Together, we are proving that privacy-first solutions can thrive in a world dominated by Big Tech. We can’t wait to share what’s next—stay tuned for exciting updates!
