Selfie search for event photo galleries
Thousands of event photos. Every guest finds theirs with a selfie.
Add your event photos and share one link or QR code. Guests take a selfie in their browser and see the photos they appear in, group shots included. You stop being the search engine for your own gallery.

Sending the gallery link isn’t the end of the job
Large galleries are hard to use. Guests scroll for a while, miss the photos they’re in, and message you instead.
A shared folder link
- 2,000 photos in one long scroll
- Group shots nobody thinks to check
- “Any photos of me?” messages for weeks
An Event Face Finder link
- Each guest starts with the photos they appear in
- Group photos come up when their face is visible
- One link answers everyone, at any hour
Built for whoever delivers the photos

One clear photo of their face, taken on the spot or picked from their camera roll.

The details that make the gallery easier to share and nicer to receive.
Guests can add their photos
Let guests upload or take photos from the event page. You choose which ones to publish, in a separate free section.
An email when photos are ready
Share the link before the photos are online. Guests can ask for one email when the gallery opens.
Your cover, logo and color
Pick a cover photo, add your logo, and choose an accent color and a grid or justified layout.
Results they can refine
If the first results miss, guests select their face in a photo to update them, or try another selfie.
Favorites
Guests mark the photos they like as they browse, so the best ones are easy to find again.
English and French
Guest pages are available in English and French, with the same link and QR code.
What kind of event are you planning?
A group at a wedding, a runner at the finish, a team at a conference: each person comes to the gallery looking for different photos.
Weddings
Share the day’s photos with the couple and their guests, including the group shots.
Races
Help runners find photos of themselves along the course and at the finish line.
Conferences
Give speakers and attendees a way to find their portraits, team photos and conversations.
Festivals
Bring photos from across the event into one gallery for the people who were there.

Want to see it on your own photos first?
Send us a few hundred photos from a past event. We set up a private gallery, free, so you can try the guest experience before buying.
Request a free test on a past eventQuestions before you start
See pricing detailsDo guests need an account or an app?
No. They open your link or scan the QR code in a browser. If you’ve set an access code, they enter it first. To search, they accept the selfie search terms and take or upload a selfie.
Will the search find every photo of a guest?
Not necessarily. A face that is turned away, partly hidden or poorly lit can be missed. A clear selfie helps, and guests can try another if the results are incomplete. You can also let guests browse the full gallery to look through the photos you’ve made visible.
I already use a gallery tool. Do I have to switch?
No. Keep it for your usual delivery. Use Event Face Finder for the events where guests need to search: the photos are uploaded or imported into the event, and guests get their own link.
Is this a subscription?
No. You pay once for each event pass. Pick the capacity for that event, then review the total before paying. Downloads sold to guests are separate from the event pass.
Will it find someone in a group photo?
It can suggest group photos when the guest’s face is visible clearly enough. It keeps the whole photo; it does not crop everyone else out. Very small, hidden or blurred faces may be missed.
Who is the pass for: the organizer or the photographer?
Either can create and manage the event. Choose who will add the photos, review the gallery and share the link. Guests do not need their own pass.
What do I need to set up an event?
Create an account and enter the event name, date, and expected number of guests and photos. Choose and pay for a pass, then add your photos. You can review the gallery and choose download options before sharing it.
Can I use photos that are already online?
Yes, if they’re in an accessible Google Drive folder or available through direct photo or ZIP links. You can also upload files, folders or ZIPs from your device. A link to a website gallery needs to be checked by our team first; it cannot always be imported directly. Larger Drive imports may also need a review.
Do I need to keep the page open while photos are prepared?
Only while files are uploading from your device. Wait for the transfer to finish before closing the page. Preparation then continues in the background, and we email you when the photos are ready to review.
Can I check photos before guests see them?
Yes. Open the previews in your photo review screen and hide any images you don’t want to share. Hidden photos stay out of the guest gallery and search results. You can make them visible again later.
Can guests download their photos for free?
Yes. You can include medium-size or full-resolution downloads at no charge to guests. You can also turn downloads off or sell full-resolution photos individually. Choose the option for the photos you add to each event.
How do paid photos work?
Set a price per full-resolution photo and complete Stripe payout setup. Guests can then buy photos from the gallery and download the files after payment. On each sale, Event Face Finder keeps a 15% commission plus 1.5% + €0.25 for Stripe payment fees, and the rest is paid out to your Stripe account. Payout setup must be complete before guests can buy, so check it before sharing an event with paid downloads.
What if I have more photos than expected?
You can buy extra photo capacity for an event, up to the limit of 50,000 photos available online. If you expect more than 5,000 guests or 50,000 photos, contact us before paying so we can review the event and its imports.
Is the guest’s selfie added to the gallery?
No. It is used to search for that guest’s face within the event. By default, the selfie image is not stored or added to the gallery.
How long is the gallery available?
Guests can view the gallery for 60 days from when you first open it. If you never open it, the photos are kept until 60 days after the event end date or the payment date, whichever is later, then deleted. Share the link in time for guests to save the photos they want to keep.
Can I add photos after sharing the link?
Yes, while the event is active and you have photo capacity available. New photos need to finish processing before they can appear in searches. The gallery link stays the same.
Can guests browse without a selfie?
Yes, if you enable the full gallery. Guests can browse the visible photos directly, then use selfie search if they want to narrow the selection. You choose whether the full gallery is available.
How do I share the QR code?
Use the QR code from your event’s sharing panel on a display, sign or message. It opens the same gallery as the link. Guests still need an internet connection to view the photos.
Make your next gallery easy to search
Create the event, add your photos and share the link. Each guest takes it from there.
