Is this even legal? Immich is AGPLv3 which generally prohibits forks that are made proprietary

What is PixelUnion?

PixelUnion is a next-generation, privacy-first photo storage platform tailored for European users who want all the convenience of Google Photos without sacrificing control over their data. It is built on the robust open-source Immich backend and hosted exclusively on GDPR-compliant EU servers. PixelUnion guarantees that your images stay yours, free from ads, trackers or cross-border transfers.

Key features include lossless quality preservation, so whether you upload high-resolution DSLR shots or smartphone panoramas, every pixel is stored at full fidelity and your images remain crisp and vibrant. The EU-based privacy architecture means all data is encrypted in transit and at rest on servers within the European Union, and we never scan your photos for advertising purposes or share metadata with third parties. AI-powered organization offers face recognition to group photos by person without sending facial data outside our secure environment, and object and scene tagging makes finding images as simple as typing a keyword. Advanced deduplication detects duplicate files across devices and stores only one copy, saving space and keeping your library uncluttered. Seamless sharing lets you create private or public albums in seconds and invite others to view, comment or contribute. Full API access enables developers to integrate PixelUnion into custom workflows, automate backups, build editing pipelines or sync with other apps.

Flexible plans start with a free 16 GB starter tier. Premium plans range from 150 GB to 2 TB with predictable monthly or annual billing and no hidden fees. For organisations with special requirements, enterprise solutions include on-premises deployment, SLAs, white-label options and volume licensing.

Choose PixelUnion.eu for data sovereignty under EU law, uncompromised image quality, transparent pricing and an open-source ethos that lets you audit, contribute or self-host the core. Sign up today and take back control of your digital memories.
