Before AI Gallery
Event photo sharing, the old way: “When will the photos be ready?”
Arjun shot Saurav & Roshni's wedding: five functions, 400 guests, 6,000 frames. On Monday morning his phone becomes the delivery desk.
Week 1
The folder hunt.
Arjun scrolls thousands of frames looking for one aunt across five functions.
Week 2
One giant drive link.
Everyone gets everything. Guests scroll past strangers, and the couple's private moments travel too.
Week 3
Half the guests never look.
The excitement has faded. His best work reaches fewer people than were in it.

How it works · the photographer
How AI photo sharing works: upload once, share one link.
Sunday night, Arjun does it differently: five steps from an empty event to 400 guests holding their own photos. He never sorts a folder by face.
- 01
Create the event
Name it, pick a gallery theme and add collections like Haldi, Sangeet and Reception.
- 02
Upload once
From the dashboard, Google Drive, Dropbox, Box or Lightroom — or live from your camera with Beam.
- 03
Share one link or QR
Publish, then send the Guest Access link on WhatsApp or print the event QR code at the venue.
- 04
Guests take a selfie
The gallery opens in the phone's browser. Each guest takes one selfie to start face search.
- 05
Each guest gets their photos
AI matches the selfie to every photo that guest appears in. They see those — not the whole event.

How it works · the guests
Face recognition photo sharing: one selfie, only their photos.
All 400 guests get in the same way. Here's Ananya, Roshni's college friend, trying it at the reception: the full gallery on a tablet, face search on her phone.

Access & privacy
One gallery, four links. Each person sees only theirs.
Ananya, the chief guest and the couple all open the same wedding. Pick a person to see what their link unlocks — and how they get in.

Every guest gets the same link. Each one only sees the photos their selfie matches.
Event settings · Privacy
The rules are switches Arjun flips per event.
A group photo appears for every guest matched in it. Everything else stays behind the link, PIN and download rules you choose.
Read the sharing docs- Nothing is public until you publish
- Upload and arrange in private. Guests get in only after you publish the event.
- A 6-digit PIN per link
- Guest Access and Full Access each get their own 6-digit PIN. Turn on “Do Not Ask PIN” when you want zero friction.
- Your registration form
- Choose which details guests share — name, phone, email, WhatsApp — so you can notify them when their photos are up.
- Download on or off
- Bulk Download and Single Download are separate switches. Allow both, one, or neither.
- An expiry date
- Set when the gallery closes. Links and QR codes stop working after that date, and you can extend it anytime.

FAQ
Face recognition photo sharing, answered.
How does face recognition photo sharing work?
You create an event in FotoOwl, upload your photos and publish it. Then you share one Guest Access link or QR code. Each guest opens it on their phone, takes a selfie, and AI Gallery shows them every photo they appear in. Guests on Guest Access never see photos they are not in.
Do guests need an app or an account?
No. Unlike a photo sharing app with face recognition that every guest has to download, AI Gallery opens in the phone's browser from your link or QR code. What guests enter depends on your settings: by default they type a 6-digit event PIN (you can switch this off with “Do Not Ask PIN”) and fill a short form with the fields you choose, such as name, phone, email or WhatsApp. VIP Guest Access asks only for a selfie.
Who can see or download gallery photos?
Until you publish the event, only you. After that, it depends on the link: Guest Access and VIP Guest Access show each guest only the photos their selfie matches, while Full Access shows the whole gallery. A group photo appears for every guest who is matched in it. Bulk Download and Single Download are separate switches, and you can set an expiry date after which links and QR codes stop working.
Can I deliver photos during an event?
Yes. Upload in batches during the event so guests can search while it is still on, or use Beam: your camera's built-in FTP sends each photo to the event in about 5 seconds, and it can reach a guest's phone in under 30 seconds. Beam needs internet at the venue (Wi-Fi or a phone hotspot) and is included on paid plans.
How much storage and gallery access do I get?
It depends on your plan. FotoOwl has a free plan so you can explore the platform before upgrading, and paid plans add more storage and features. The pricing page always has the current storage, billing and plan details for your country.
Can clients select photos for albums?
Yes, through Photo Selection. Share the Photo Selection link and your client sees the full gallery with a heart on every photo; the photos they heart become the album shortlist. AI Gallery handles delivery to guests, and Photo Selection handles proofing with the couple.
Is AI Gallery secure and GDPR compliant?
Yes. FotoOwl is ISO 27001:2022 certified, SOC 2 compliant and GDPR compliant. Photos are encrypted with TLS 1.3 in transit and AES-256 at rest, every share link has its own 6-digit PIN, and guests on Guest Access only ever see the photos their selfie matches. We also honour data deletion requests.
How accurate is face matching?
Matching works best with a clear, front-facing selfie in good light, so add a one-line instruction near your QR code. Heavy shadows, side profiles or faces that are very small in a frame can be missed. For people who need every photo — like the couple or the family — share Full Access as well.
Can the gallery carry my studio's branding?
Yes. AI Gallery is an online gallery for photographers, so it carries your studio's look. Choose a theme, set colours, the title font and cover image for desktop and mobile, add a watermark and a footer message, and order or hide collections. You can also feature Highlights and Stories at the top of the gallery.
