Pluto

Pluto is the flexible, open-source image management service, designed to store, organize, and serve images. It provides a structured, reliable API for uploading, updating, and retrieving media — making images easy to integrate into websites, apps, and digital services.

Structured Image Management

Pluto allows images to be uploaded, annotated, and organized with structured metadata, including:

  • Alt text and captions for accessibility and search
  • Focus points and cropping data for responsive display
  • License and creator information for proper attribution

Images are stored efficiently and served via a robust API, ensuring they are ready for web, mobile, or integration into third-party services.

Open Source and Licensing

Pluto is developed as an open-source project with a strong focus on transparency, collaboration, and long-term sustainability. It is released under a very permissive open license — allowing individuals, institutions, and developers to:

  • Reuse the codebase for their own projects
  • Modify and adapt the software to suit specific needs
  • Redistribute it freely, with or without changes

This open model encourages integration into existing systems, custom extensions, and community-driven improvements.
