How Selfie Search Finds Your Event Photos: A Guest's Guide

You are at an event — a wedding, a conference, a marathon, a concert. Someone tells you "scan this QR code to see your photos." You scan it, take a selfie, and within seconds you see every professional photo you appear in. Here is how to get the best experience.

How It Works (The Simple Version)

  1. Scan the QR code at the event venue (or open the gallery link shared with you).
  2. Take a selfie when prompted. Just a clear photo of your face — no filters needed.
  3. See your photos — the AI matches your face across all event photos and shows you every photo you appear in.
  4. Download or share your favorites. One tap to save or share on social media.

The entire process takes under 10 seconds. The AI matching itself happens in under 3 seconds.

Tips for the Best Selfie Search

Taking the selfie

  • Good lighting: Face a light source (window, lamp, or the sky). Avoid backlighting.
  • Clear face: Remove sunglasses and hats. The AI needs to see your face clearly.
  • Straight on: Look directly at the camera. A front-facing selfie gives the best results.
  • No filters: Use your regular camera, not Snapchat or Instagram filters.
  • One person: Take the selfie alone. If you want to find a friend's photos, they should take their own selfie.

What the AI Can Find

  • Front-facing photos: The easiest match — photos where you are looking at or near the camera.
  • Three-quarter angles: Photos where your face is slightly turned. The AI handles these well.
  • Group photos: Even if you are one of 50 people in a group shot, the AI finds you.
  • Different lighting: Whether the photo was taken in bright sunlight, indoor flash, or stage lighting, the AI adapts.
  • Different expressions: Smiling, laughing, serious, surprised — the AI recognizes you regardless of expression.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is my selfie stored?

Your selfie is used only for matching and is not stored permanently. It is processed, matched against event photos, and then discarded. Your privacy is protected.

Can someone else find my photos?

Only someone who looks like you could find your photos — and the AI is 99.9% accurate, so false matches are extremely rare. For extra privacy, some events use face-based privacy mode where you can only see photos you appear in.

What if the AI misses some of my photos?

In rare cases, the AI might miss a photo where your face is partially obscured (turned away, covered by hair, or in very dark lighting). You can always browse the full gallery manually to find any photos the AI might have missed.

Do I need to download an app?

No. The gallery opens in your phone's web browser. No app download required. Just scan the QR code and you are in.

Can I find photos of my friend or family member?

Each person should take their own selfie to find their photos. You cannot use your selfie to find someone else's photos — the AI matches the specific face in the selfie.

After Finding Your Photos

  • Download: Tap the download button to save photos to your phone in original quality.
  • Share: One-tap sharing to WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, and other platforms.
  • Favorite: Mark your favorite photos for easy access later.
  • Buy (if photo sales are enabled): Some events offer photo purchases. You will see watermarked previews and can buy unwatermarked originals.
