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.
