Share Immich albums with a link. Keep your server to yourself.
Friends open one link and see the album. They can add their own photos too. They never see your server's address, and we can't see your photos.

Why people use it
For the people you just met
Back from a trip with a great group? Send them the whole album, not the address of your server.
Everyone's photos, one album
After a wedding or a weekend away, friends add their shots. They land straight in your Immich.
Nothing to open on your router
The agent dials out, like your browser does. No port forwarding, no reverse proxy, no VPN for guests.
Your domain stays yours
An Immich link shows your server's address to everyone it's forwarded to. A shrim.pics link doesn't.
No big cloud in between
Nothing gets copied to Google Photos or iCloud. Photos stream from your server, encrypted.
Friends just tap the link
No app, no account. It opens in any browser, on a phone or a computer.

Questions
Do my photos leave my server?
Only when someone opens your link. The agent encrypts each photo on your server, it passes through shrim.pics still encrypted, and your friend’s browser unlocks it. We don’t store photos, and we can’t open them.
Do my friends need an account or an app?
No. They open the link in any recent browser, on a phone or a computer.
Can I stop sharing?
Yes, any time. Revoke the link in your agent and it stops working straight away. Deleting the share link in Immich does the same.
What happens when my server is off?
The album can’t open while your server or the agent is offline. Friends see a short note asking them to try again later. We don’t keep a copy anywhere.
What if I lose the link?
Open your agent and copy it again. If you think the wrong people have it, revoke it and make a new one. We can’t recover a link for you, because we never see the key.
Who makes shrim.pics?
People who run Immich at home, like you. We share our own albums with shrim.pics, so we want it to be great: simple for you, easy for your friends, and private for everyone.
Is this made by the Immich team?
No. shrim.pics is an independent project, not affiliated with Immich or FUTO. It works next to your Immich server and uses Immich’s own share links.
Is it really private?
We built it so we can’t see your photos, album names or server address. The privacy page lists exactly what we can see. The one thing you have to trust is that we serve the published code. If you’d rather not, run your own copy.
What does the 24 € pay for?
Running the server that passes your photos along, and nothing else. No ads, no selling data. Cancel any time, and if you change your mind within 14 days you get your money back.
