Insert the SD card. The photos go to Immich.

A small app in the menu bar notices your camera's card and uploads only the new photos. No more remembering which shot you uploaded last.

The app window uploading an SD card to Immich

How it works

Set it up once, then just insert the card.

1

Connect Immich

Enter your server's address and an API key once, and pick the card to sync.

2

Insert the card

The upload starts by itself. What is already in Immich is skipped.

3

Take it out

When everything is uploaded, the card is ejected. Go shoot some more.

See your shots while they upload

The Gallery tab shows the photos on the card by day, newest first, with a badge on each: in Immich, uploading, or waiting.

Click a photo to see it large and flip through with the arrow keys. Handy for showing someone the shoot right away.

The Gallery tab: the card's photos by day, each marked as in Immich

What else it does

Built for a big card after a day of shooting.

Remembers what is uploaded

Each card has its own progress. Next time only the new photos go up.

No duplicates

Checks the file date and checksum, as immich-go does.

Survives interruptions

Network gone or the server down? It stops and picks up where it left off.

Photos, RAW and video

The formats Immich takes, with XMP sidecars. RAW+JPEG pairs are stacked as one photo.

Card ready to go

Ejected after the upload. If you like, formatted once every file is checked in Immich.

Stays out of the way

Lives in the menu bar or tray, can start at login, updates itself. 8 languages.

How it differs

From the Immich tools you may already use.

The Immich mobile app

Backs up your phone. SD Sync Immich is for the camera's card: no copying the shots to the phone first.

immich-go and Immich CLI

Command-line tools, great for big imports like a Google Photos takeout. SD Sync Immich is for the everyday card: insert it, and what is new goes up.

Your photos stay yours

It talks only to your Immich server, and to GitHub for updates. No analytics, no accounts.

Free and open source

If it saves you time, star it on GitHub: that is how other Immich users find it. Issues and pull requests are welcome.
