digiKam, alternative Linux à Windows Photos
Mis à jour le
Notre avis
digiKam is not a direct replacement for Windows Photos for casual users seeking simplicity, but it's an excellent alternative for users who want far more control over photo organization and editing. If you manage large photo libraries, use metadata, or work with RAW files, digiKam excels. However, its complexity and resource use make it overkill for quick viewing. For lightweight tasks, tools like eog or nomacs are better. But if you're serious about photo management, digiKam offers deep features Windows Photos lacks.

Ouvrir vos fichiers Windows Photos
digiKam opens all standard formats used in Windows Photos, including JPEG, PNG, and WebP, without issue. It also reads metadata and thumbnails correctly from these files. You can export edited versions in common formats, and it preserves EXIF, IPTC, and XMP metadata using Exiv2 and ExifTool. If you're moving from Windows Photos, your existing files will import cleanly. Video formats supported by FFmpeg are also handled well, though exact codec support depends on your system's FFmpeg setup.

Can digiKam replace Windows Photos for simple photo viewing?
Not ideally. For quick viewing, use eog or nomacs. digiKam is powerful but overkill for simple tasks.
Does digiKam support face recognition out of the box?
It supports face detection and recognition, but you must enable it manually and train the system over time.
Is digiKam lightweight and fast for everyday use?
No. It's resource-intensive, especially with large libraries. It's built for depth, not speed.
