For photographers
Face Search for Photographers
From a 5,000-shot wedding to a season of school portraits: give SnapByFace one photo of the person and it returns the photos they appear in — sorted by similarity, exported to your delivery folder, with nothing uploaded.
The problem
Finding one person in thousands of frames
A single event can leave you with thousands of frames, and clients do not ask for "the album" — they ask for "every photo of me". Tagging by hand is hours of unpaid work, and cloud tools that could help require uploading client media you may have promised not to upload.
SnapByFace runs the search on your own machine. Add one reference photo per person — the bride, the groom, each family — point it at the event folders, and export every match. Client photos never leave your computer, which is exactly what your contracts and your clients expect.
Workflow
How photographers use it
Collect reference photos
One clear shot per person, named after them — the file name becomes their name. Couples, families, whole guest lists work the same way.
Scan the event folders
Point SnapByFace at the folders where the shoot already lives. JPEG and HEIC from any camera or phone are read directly; RAW shooters export JPEGs for delivery anyway.
Tune, then deliver
Raise the similarity threshold for strict, delivery-ready sets; lower it to catch candid frames. Select matches and export with original timestamps intact.
Why it fits the studio
What you get
Client privacy by architecture
Wedding and family media is exactly the kind of data that should not sit on someone else's server. With SnapByFace it never leaves your workstation — there is no upload step at all.
Per-person exports in one click
Select the matches for one person and export them to a delivery folder. No manual culling pass just to gather everyone's photos.
Built for big events
Incremental scanning and pausable, resumable indexing keep a multi-thousand-shot event manageable; add late-arriving shots later without re-processing the rest.
Honest results
Matches are similarity scores, not identity claims — you review the set before it reaches the client, which fits how you already quality-check deliveries.
