Photo sharing needs to be available everywhere. Since we started development, we wanted KoffeePhoto to break the boundaries and address the needs of photo sharing throughout the world. With this in mind we rapidly supported five locales, being English, French, German, Japanese and Spanish.
Time has now come for a further step. We therefore now launch our KoffeePhoto collaborative localization tool.

Each photo album created using KoffeePhoto is also automatically uploaded to KoffeePhoto servers, for online photo browsing and sharing purposes. KoffeePhoto automatically synchronizes content of your albums on multiple computers as your fellows add your albums to their photo library.
In case of loss of data, KoffeePhoto is capable of restoring your whole photo library using your sharing fellows as backup/restoration endpoints. Just reinstall KoffeePhoto and log in with your username and password, KoffeePhoto takes care of everything else. Your high resolution files will be retrieved from your sharing fellows’ computers.
Two guidelines to improve your backup level:
- Share your albums. Every friend who adds your albums to his photo library also serves as a backup point for you.
- If you own several computers, use your KoffeePhoto account on all of them. They will all keep in sync and serve as backup point one for the other.
Don’t wait to lose your photo library to take action.

Due to the recent release of KoffeePhoto 2.5 and the sudden increase of traffic (good news huh?), we’ve been experiencing high server load which has resulted in some service interruptions these two last days.
The problem is fixed now and all KoffeePhoto photo sharing services are back online. No other issue linked to this new release has been raised by now.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
Thank you for your support.

Long awaited KoffeePhoto photo sharing 2.5 launches today. This version is an important milestone in our product development plan as it includes a complete revision of our storage model as well as the tools provided for sharing slideshows.
- As mentionned in a previous post, our storage model does not rely exclusively on a peer-to-peer model anymore.
- Slideshows can now be viewed using a simple Flash based player. No more hassle dealing with our previously Java based player which caused some trouble installing.
- Full online photo prints ordering.
While the migration will take some time because of the file format conversion tasks, the everyday experience will be far better thanks to improved performances and less CPU and bandwidth usage.
We put all our efforts to include user feedback into this version of KoffeePhoto and are convinced to have come much closer to the needs of our users.
