At the end-of-year ceremony dozens of phones are shooting, and every family wants only their own child: end-of-year party photo sharing that sends every family its own album
At the end-of-year ceremony the school photographer, the teachers and the parents are all shooting, and hundreds of photos scatter across the phones. PiciMe collects them all into one gallery, without downloading an app. Here's how end-of-year party photo sharing works: each family joins through a WhatsApp link, uploads one photo of their child, and face recognition sends them a personal album with all the photos the child appears in, straight to WhatsApp. No sign-up, and nothing to install.
Perfect for preschool and elementary graduations, and equally for middle school and high school end-of-year parties, from the formal ceremony to the dance floor in the evening.
End-of-year party photo sharing in three steps
You open an event, share a link in the class group, and from there the system collects and distributes everything on its own.
Before: open an event and share a link
You open the event on PiciMe a few days before the ceremony and share one link in the class or parents' WhatsApp group. A small QR code at the entrance to the hall or the yard is open to anyone not in the group too. You can also share it with the school photographer, so all of their shots enter the same gallery.
During the ceremony: photograph, and one photo of the child
Every photo taken by a parent, teacher or the photographer joins the shared gallery. Each family uploads one photo of their child, and the older students upload a selfie themselves, and face recognition learns to identify them across all the ceremony photos. No app and no sign-up.
After the ceremony: the albums arrive on their own
Face recognition sends each family a personal album on WhatsApp with all the photos their child appears in, that same day. The school gets the full gallery from every source, ready to download and archive for the year.
Every family leaves with their own child, and the school with everything
Every parent gets a personal album on WhatsApp with the photos their child appears in, without searching among hundreds of shots of other classes. The central gallery collects every photo taken, from the school photographer to the homeroom teacher's phone, and that's critical at a ceremony where everyone is shooting at the same time.
At preschool and elementary graduations that means every family gets their child going up to receive a certificate, even a parent who came for just a moment. In middle and high school the students themselves upload a selfie and get their album from the evening's graduation party, from the dance floor and the photos with friends, without tagging and without forwarding in the group.
And the school? The staff gets the full gallery of the whole event in one place, ready to download, for the school website and the yearbook, instead of chasing parents and teachers to send what they shot.
Why do the most important photos get lost at the end of the year of all times?
Because everyone photographs and no one collects. At an end-of-year ceremony there are dozens of parents with a phone, a teacher shooting, and sometimes a photographer too, but in the end everyone is left with what they shot themselves. The parent who wanted their child going up on stage discovers that this exact moment was captured by another mom, whom they don't even know.
Because the class group collapses under hundreds of photos. The day after the ceremony the group is flooded with shots, and to find your child you have to scroll for half an hour through photos of the whole rest of the class. Most parents simply give up after a minute.
And when it's a preschool graduation or a 12th-grade graduation, it's a moment that happens once. The child goes up on stage, gets a certificate, and hugs their friends before everyone scatters for the summer. If that moment is stuck with another parent or buried in a Drive no one opens, it's simply lost. The child appears in almost every photo, and the family holds on to none.
Four moments from the end-of-year party that reach exactly the right family
At the 6th-grade graduation we sent one link in the parents' group. Everyone uploaded a photo of their child, and that evening every family got an album with their own child from the ceremony. We didn't have to chase anyone to send photos, and the homeroom teacher got everything in one place too.
Photos of children, with full control for the school and the parents
At a children's ceremony privacy matters most of all. Each family sees only the photos their child appears in, and face recognition works only for someone who chose to join and upload a photo. The gallery is accessible only through the link the school shares, it isn't published anywhere and isn't scanned by Google. The photos are kept for a period set in advance and then deleted, and everything can be tailored to the institution's photography policy and the parents' consent.
The ceremony ends, the end-of-year photos stay
Choose a plan and prepare the link before the ceremony. The shared album starts at ₪350, the personal albums for each family with face recognition are included in the Plus plan (from ₪500), and the live screen at the ceremony is in the Premium plan. All the details and plans on the pricing page.
