Runs and sports
Race photos found by face
A race produces tens of thousands of photos from many points on the course. Runners scan their face and get their own photos from all of them.
The trouble with race photos
- Photos from many points spread across folders and photographers
- Runners scroll long albums to find themselves
- Photos used without credit to the organizer or photographer
Using GN Collage at a race
Search by face
Runners scan three angles or use a selfie, and see only the matching photos.
Pool photos from many photographers
Every photo point adds to the same Google Drive folder, so there is one gallery.
Organizer watermark
The race or sponsor logo on every photo runners download.
QR code at the medal table
Put a QR sign after the finish or post the link on the event page.

Frequently asked questions
Can runners search by bib number?
Bib number search is not supported. Runners search by face.
What about caps and sunglasses?
Matching uses the visible face. Heavily covered faces may be missed. Scanning several angles helps.
Are runners' face scans stored?
No. The scan and face data used for a search are not stored after the search.
