Import photos from various sources to Immich

Immichporter

Google photos to immich importer helper

Documentation | PyPI

---

[!WARNING] Still in a early stage. At the moment only exporting from google photos is supported.

Immichporter exports google photos information into a database which can be used to import the information back into immich.

[!IMPORTANT] This tool does not download any images from google photos. It only exports the information into a database.

Use google takeout to export your google photos data and the immich-go tool to import the data into immich. After this you can use immichporter to create all albums and add people to shared albums.
