Getting Started with Highcoo
A short and a detailed instruction to setup HighCoo (beginner friendly)
Self-hosted & open source
The backend for your photo blog
Tag, organize, and publish your photos from one place. Your server. Your data. No subscriptions.
Your best photos are stuck on a hard drive. Edited, forgotten, never published. Tag them. Filter them. Protect them with watermarks. But at least only one thing counts: PUBLISH THEM. Free them from the dust they're collecting.
Organize
Tag everything.
Find anything.
Forget folders. Tag your images however makes sense — project, location, mood, subject. Filter instantly. Select in bulk. Your library, finally searchable.
Watermark
Protect your work automatically
Apply consistent watermarks across your entire library. No more manual edits, no more forgetting.
Publish
From library to published
Select a photo, fill in the details, hit publish. Highcoo handles the slug, tags, and API so your blog can pull images straight from your own server.
Your photos, your server
No subscriptions. No vendor lock-in. Host it yourself, own your data, inspect every line of code. Free forever.
