PixelUnion: Hosted Immich for Hassle-Free Photo Backup and Management

Managing a growing collection of photos and videos can be complicated. Immich is a popular open-source solution for self-hosted photo backup and management, but running it yourself requires technical setup, server maintenance, and ongoing updates.

PixelUnion solves this problem by offering Immich as a fully-hosted service. With PixelUnion, you get all the benefits of Immich—automatic backups, device syncing, and secure storage—without the overhead of managing your own server.


What is Immich?

Immich is an open-source platform designed for private, self-hosted photo and video backup. Its main goal is to provide a secure, local alternative to cloud services like Google Photos while giving users full control over their media.

Running Immich yourself means managing a server, handling updates, and ensuring that backups and security are configured correctly. This can be a barrier for non-technical users.

PixelUnion makes this easier by providing a hosted Immich instance, so you can start backing up photos immediately without worrying about infrastructure.

PixelUnion brings all the convenience of Immich-as-a-Service:

  • No Server Management Required: PixelUnion handles hosting, so you don’t need to maintain a server or database.
  • Automatic Backups: Your photos and videos are safely stored and synced across devices.
  • Always Up to Date: PixelUnion keeps the Immich software updated, removing the need for manual maintenance.
  • Secure Storage: Data is stored securely, ensuring your photos remain private.

Hosted PixelUnion vs Self-Hosted Immich

Self-hosting Immich provides control but comes with technical responsibilities:

  • Setting up and maintaining servers.
  • Installing updates and security patches.
  • Managing backups and storage scaling.

PixelUnion eliminates these responsibilities, offering a ready-to-use, secure, and hosted solution. You get the power of Immich with none of the complexity.
