This [major update](https://docs.photoprism.app/release-notes/#november-30-2025) introduces the long-awaited [Batch Edit](https://docs.photoprism.app/user-guide/organize/batch-edit/) dialog, which allows you to [edit the metadata of multiple pictures](https://docs.photoprism.app/user-guide/organize/batch-edit/) in one go. On the AI side, an [upgraded face recognition pipeline](https://docs.photoprism.app/user-guide/ai/face-recognition/) delivers more and better matches. PhotoPrism now integrates directly with [Ollama](https://docs.photoprism.app/user-guide/ai/using-ollama/) and [OpenAI](https://docs.photoprism.app/user-guide/ai/using-openai/) to generate [captions and labels](https://docs.photoprism.app/user-guide/ai/). Support for [custom TensorFlow models](https://docs.photoprism.app/developer-guide/vision/tensorflow/custom-models/), [refined configuration](https://docs.photoprism.app/user-guide/ai/#visionyml-reference), and [new scheduling options](https://docs.photoprism.app/user-guide/ai/#run-modes) offer further flexibility.

You'll also notice many performance and usability enhancements, such as the ability to [change the cover image for a person](https://docs.photoprism.app/user-guide/organize/people/#change-cover-for-a-person), as well as updated dependencies and new translations.

As always, a big thank you to [everyone who contributed](https://docs.photoprism.app/developer-guide/) and [helped with testing](https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism/issues?q=is%3Aissue%20state%3Aopen%20label%3Aplease-test)! We hope you enjoy the new release as much as we do. 🌈💎✨

###### Upgrade Notes

- To benefit from the [facial recognition improvements](https://docs.photoprism.app/user-guide/ai/face-recognition/), we recommend running `photoprism faces audit --fix` and `photoprism faces index` [in a terminal](https://docs.photoprism.app/getting-started/docker-compose/#opening-a-terminal) to resolve any inconsistencies before detecting and matching additional faces. If you want the new engine to re-detect all faces for a clean state, you can do so by executing the commands `photoprism faces reset -f` and then `photoprism faces index` (after that, all detected faces must be reassigned). A [complete rescan](https://docs.photoprism.app/user-guide/library/originals/#when-should-complete-rescan-be-selected) will also detect additional faces, but takes longer since more indexing tasks are performed. 
- PhotoPrism now [supports multiple AI engines](https://docs.photoprism.app/user-guide/ai/#model-engines), so the `PHOTOPRISM_DISABLE_TENSORFLOW` option [has been deprecated](https://github.com/photoprism/photoprism/issues/5310). You can still disable individual AI features using the [`PHOTOPRISM_DISABLE_*` feature flags](https://docs.photoprism.app/getting-started/config-options/#feature-flags) and/or a [custom `vision.yml`](https://docs.photoprism.app/user-guide/ai/#visionyml-reference) configuration.
