I’ve been running Immich for about 6 months now, and it’s smooth and stable.
I’ve synced my camera roll to it and loving it.
Next step is to move the ~150gb of media on Google-Photos over.
How do I best do that?
I also have some other issues I’d like to address before or after the migration:
- I have a bunch of crap mixed into my Google photos, old WhatsApp images from meme groups I used to be in etc.
- Thousands of photos of Ex girlfriends mixed in (not exactly sure what to do about these)
Is there a way to siff through these efficiently and keep what I want? I have ~20k photos some dating back to 2006 so it feels like a mountain to climb.


no really, no. because what you want to keep is subjective. like @[email protected] said, which is what i did, you just dump and import. but any curating is a manual effort.
It would be great if there was kind of cleanup plugin for Immich.
Like Tinder for pics you want to keep or dump. I could spend 10min every day in the train to swipe left or right on pics I want to keep or remove.
You could do the cleanup in Google, search for ex and delete them, delete the meme folder if you have one. Mine are separated by what app they came from.
Maybe you could use the immich face recognition to delete after import?
