Selfie search

Last updated: July 21, 2026

Selfie search lets an attendee submit a face image to find matching photos in an event gallery.

In a selfie search flow, the participant chooses a clear image with one face and submits it to the event’s search page. The service compares it with faces in the event photo set and returns the likely matches.

For a stronger result, use a well-lit image where the face is large and unobstructed. In a race, selfie search can complement bib recognition when the bib is hidden or unreadable. See the race photo guide for both methods.
