Celebrating 20 Years of digiKam
Twenty years ago, we built digiKam to offer you an open-source alternative. The first version, released on Christmas 2001, was a simple GPhoto2 graphical interface for Linux. Two decades later, digiKam has evolved into a leading photo management program, available on Linux, Windows, and macOS. It now boasts a wealth of features for viewing, editing, searching, and publishing your image collections.
Our Values and Vision
After 20 years, our mission remains clear: digiKam is a non-profit, global community driven by core values—choice and control for users, openness, and innovation—that have become essential in the world of libre photography. Not all photo management programs are created equal, and your choices make a real difference.
A Heartfelt Thank You
On this 20th anniversary, we want to express our deepest gratitude to:
- All contributors who have dedicated their time and expertise.
- All users for your unwavering support and trust.
When you use digiKam, you amplify our voice and become part of a community that embeds shared values into the very fabric of this application. We couldn’t have done it without you.
