Selfie search: find your event photos with a selfie

How to find the photos and video clips you appear in with one selfie, how your selfie is handled, and how event organizers switch selfie search on.

Selfie search finds the photos and video clips you appear in, using a single selfie, so there's no need to scroll through the whole gallery.

Looking for your child's school photos? Check how your school shares them first. Some schools use a parent portal, where your child's photos appear automatically after you sign in. See How to see your child's school photos: parent portal sign-in.

Find your photos with a selfie

  1. Open the event gallery.

  2. Click Take a selfie (on a phone, Take a selfie or upload). In the Upload a Selfie window, click the box to choose a photo, or click Take a selfie to use your camera.

  3. Use a clear, front-on photo of your face in good light, without sunglasses or a hat.

  4. The gallery shows the photos and video clips you appear in.

Video results start just before you appear in the clip.

Your privacy

Your selfie is only used to search for your photos, and it isn't saved after searching. By uploading it, you agree to the biometric data from your selfie being used only to search for photos, under our Terms and Conditions. You can read more in our Biometric Policy.

If selfie search isn't there

If you see "Selfie search is unavailable for this event", the event organizer hasn't switched it on for this event. You can still browse the gallery, or search by bib number if the event offers it.

Selfie search isn't available for events held in Illinois, USA.

For event organizers and photographers

Selfie search is off until the event organizer switches it on. If you run events, see Turn on selfie search for your event.
