How do I upload Lightroom Classic photos to Immich?

Install the Lightroom Immich Plugin, enter your Immich server URL and API key in an export preset or publish service, then export or publish your photos. The plugin uploads the images to Immich and can add them to an album.

Can I sync Lightroom albums to Immich?

Yes. Use a Publish Service: the plugin creates, renames and deletes Immich albums to match your published Lightroom collections, and uploads, updates or removes images as the collection changes.

Is the Lightroom Immich Plugin free?

Yes, it is free and open source. Download the latest release from GitHub.

Lightroom Immich Plugin

The Lightroom Immich Plugin (lrc-immich-plugin) is a free, open-source plugin that lets you upload, sync, back up and import photos between Adobe Lightroom Classic and an Immich server through the Immich API. Use it as an export preset or a publish service to keep your Lightroom catalog and your self-hosted Immich library in sync.

Features

Connection — Set up your Immich instance via URL and API key in the export dialog or when creating the publish service.
Publish images
- Create/rename/delete albums according to the published collection.
- Upload/update/delete images from the published collection.
- Download comments and likes from Immich to Lightroom (if the album is a shared album).
Export images
- Optionally choose or create an album on export to Immich.
- Replace existing images.
- Duplicate detection via Lightroom catalog ID, and by date and filename.
Import images
- Import images album-wise from Immich into the Lightroom Classic catalog.
Stacking (Immich)
- When uploading, the plugin can create stacks in Immich so related assets (e.g. raw + edited, or multiple versions) are grouped with a primary image. Stacks keep your Immich timeline tidy and match how you organize in Lightroom.
Upcoming (maybe)
- Additional album options (e.g. sharing) in the Publish Collection settings.
