We present AstroPhot, a fast, powerful, and user-friendly Python based astronomical image photometry solver. AstroPhot incorporates automatic differentiation and GPU (or parallel CPU) acceleration, powered by the machine learning library PyTorch. Everything: AstroPhot can fit models for sky, stars, galaxies, PSFs, and more in a principled Chi^2 forward optimization, recovering Bayesian posterior information and covariance of all parameters. Everywhere: AstroPhot can optimize forward models on CPU or GPU; across images that are large, multi-band, multi-epoch, rotated, dithered, and more. All at once: The models are optimized together, thus handling overlapping objects and including the covariance between parameters (including PSF and galaxy parameters). A number of optimization algorithms are available including Levenberg-Marquardt, Gradient descent, and No-U-Turn MCMC sampling. With an object-oriented user interface, AstroPhot makes it easy to quickly extract detailed information from complex astronomical data for individual images or large survey programs.
