Category: 3rd Party Integrations

The Google Photos plugin allows Obsidian users to seamlessly embed and interact with images from their Google Photos library. It saves low-resolution thumbnails locally while linking to the full-resolution images online. The plugin can filter photos by date, based on the note title or a specific query, making it ideal for integrating daily note workflows or creating galleries. Users can customize the markdown format for embedded images and even insert albums or galleries using command palette options and codeblocks. While designed for desktop, it supports mobile usage with synced settings. The plugin also provides flexibility for styling and advanced queries via Google Photos API, enabling tailored use cases for photo management within Obsidian.

Major update to work with Google's new Picker API

In March 2025, Google removed the original photos API and replaced it with a much worse and less capable version called the Picker API. See discussion in issue #56

Thanks to the amazing work of @followcurly, this plugin has been updated to work with the new Picker API.

See the PR for all changes.
