Ipernity is a non-commercial photo sharing community which is financed exclusively by membership dues without any intention of making a profit.^[1] By means of the Ipernity Members Association (IMA), the community operates its own website for the protected private exchange of digital content such as photos, videos, audio files and blogs, as well as for the worldwide publication of selected content.

Within its groups, ipernity promotes the mutual inspiration and cross-border communication supported by a machine-aided translation. Since ipernity's web service is 100% members-owned, it is unaffected by external interests, especially those of investors. It is exclusively geared to the needs of the community. The privacy and contents of users are particularly protected at ipernity. Only those contents that are expressly approved for publication by the users appear in the results of search engines. Private data and content will in no way be analysed, passed on or sold for commercial purposes.

The website is in direct competition with Flickr and is therefore readily compared with it.^[2][3] However, it stands out due to a slightly larger range of functions.^[4][5] According to the portal trusted.de, ipernity's service is among the seven best photo sharing services.^[6]
