DBGallery is a digital resource management software package. It focuses on the use of image metadata for searching, exploring and organizing photographs. It is a multi-user system designed for use within organizations. Originally a local software, in mid-2013 the company began promoting it as a cloud-based SaaS solution. This became possible by introducing a Web server in the form of a plug-in that controls access to the collection via the Internet.
