Frequently Asked Questions

What image formats are supported?
We support JPEG, PNG, and WebP formats. For best face recognition results, use high-quality JPEG images.
How many photos can I upload?
This depends on your plan's storage limit. Free plan includes 5GB (approximately 1,000 photos at 5MB each). Paid plans offer up to 100GB.
Does face recognition work with group photos?
Yes! AWS Rekognition can detect up to 25 faces per photo. Guests will find themselves in individual and group photos.
Do guests need to download an app?
No. Everything works in the mobile browser. Guests simply open the link you share and take a selfie — no app download required.
Is the face data stored permanently?
No. Selfie images are processed in real-time and discarded immediately. Face embeddings stored for matching are deleted when your event expires.
Can I use my own Google Drive for storage?
Yes! Our Google Drive BYOC (Bring Your Own Cloud) feature lets you keep photos in your own Google Drive with zero upload limits and zero storage costs to us.
What happens when my event expires?
Events expire 30 days after the event date (or 30 days after creation if no date is set). After expiry, all data including photos and face embeddings are automatically deleted.
Can I password-protect my event?
Yes! Set a PIN code when creating your event. Guests will need to enter the PIN before accessing the gallery.
