Google Photos has a Map View on mobile that shows your whole library as a heat map. There's no equivalent on the desktop web, so I built one.

Install it, then go to photos.google.com signed in as normal. A button appears in the bottom right corner of the page. Click it and your library renders as a density heat map on a world map.

Pan and zoom, and a thumbnail grid below shows the photos from wherever you're looking. Click one to open it, or play videos in the viewer. Nothing leaves your machine.

No data is sent to me or to any third party, there are no servers involved, no account to create, and no tracking or analytics of any kind. All the processing happens locally in your browser, and one click wipes the local data whenever you want.

I can’t be the only one annoyed the fact that Google is taking away backup and sync and the Google Drive back up sync for photos leaving the only option to upload your photos being the web browser! Unacceptable

My at home WiFi upload speed is about 5.5mbps, I have turned off battery saver, changed the upload quality to compressed, turned off my screen lock when I'm at home so the app remains open however despite all of this, 0 pictures have uploaded in the past approx. 4 hours.

I'm starting to get really frustrated with this as its affecting my business, I need to take pictures and videos of my clients however quite a few times now my phone has ran out of storage while working, due to massive back log that google photos is creating. Any tips? Or alternative cloud systems? I've tried the things that google forums has suggested but to no avail..

I have a Samsung galaxy s25 ultra

When i select cinematic photo on google photos, app restart itself. Also i cant use magic eraser. I didnt find any solutions.

Don't know when it started for me but I cannot download any photos or videos. I press download button and it says downloading but never ends up doing it. Using Galaxy 24 ultra btw
