I\u2019ve just released Media Picker for Immich on the WordPress.org plugin directory. It connects WordPress to a self-hosted Immich<\/a> server so you can browse, search, and insert your photos and videos into posts without copying files around.<\/p>\n

Immich<\/h3>\n

I run Immich at home. It\u2019s where my photos now live. They\u2019re organised, searchable, with facial recognition and AI search. My WordPress uploads directory is where photos used to go, and the two never talked to each other. This plugin fixes that.<\/p>\n

How it works<\/h3>\n

Point the plugin at your Immich server and give it an API key. You can set a site-wide key or let each user configure their own to connect to their own Immich account.<\/p>\n

If the site-wide key is blank, each user adds their own key on their profile page. All Immich API calls happen server-side.<\/p>\n

Two ways to add media<\/h3>\n

Once configured, an Immich tab appears in two places.<\/p>\n

The first is the Media Library grid. Switch to the Immich view and you can search, filter by person, and either Use or Copy assets into WordPress.<\/p>\n
