Find Event Photos with Face Search

Search the event gallery using one selfie.
Quick answer
What is face search photo sharing?
Face search lets an event guest search a photo gallery using a selfie instead of browsing thousands of images. ShowMyPhoto compares the selfie with faces indexed from the event's uploaded photos and returns matching images in the browser.
Guest workflow
How to find your event photos with a selfie
2. Take a selfie
Use a clear, front-facing selfie with one person in frame and enough light for the camera to see the face.
3. See your matches
The event gallery returns photos matched to the submitted selfie. You can then view, favorite, download or share them according to event settings.
Why use it
Face search vs scrolling a gallery
Less manual browsing
A large wedding or event gallery can contain thousands of images. Face search narrows the result to photos associated with the guest's selfie.
Browser-first
The search runs in the browser, which is useful when a guest does not want to install another application for one event.
Event-specific search
The search is tied to the event gallery shared by the organizer, rather than requiring the guest to search a global photo collection.
Troubleshooting
Can't find your photos? Start here
| What you see | Possible reason | What to try |
|---|---|---|
| No photos found | The photographer may still be uploading, or the selfie may not provide a strong match. | Check again later and retry with a clearer, front-facing selfie. |
| Only a few matches | You may be far away, turned sideways, wearing sunglasses or a mask, or affected by motion blur. | Retry without accessories and ask the photographer for help if needed. |
| Camera does not open | Browser camera permission may be blocked. | Allow camera access in the browser settings and reload the page. |
| Download is unavailable | The photographer may have disabled downloads for the event. | Contact the photographer or organizer. |
For photographers
How photographers use face search
Photographers create the event, upload photos and share the event link or QR code. Faces are indexed in the background, so there is no need to manually tag each person.
- Upload photos live with the Windows Instant Uploader.
- Use studio branding on the event gallery.
- Control watermarks and download permissions.
- Deliver matched photos through the gallery, WhatsApp or email when supported by the event plan.
Clear guest instructions matter
Tell guests where to find the event link or QR code and how to take a clear selfie. A short instruction reduces failed searches and support requests.
