Sports event photo sharing: every participant gets only their own photos on WhatsApp
At a race or a tournament with thousands of participants, no one sits down afterward to hunt for themselves inside a folder of a thousand photos. Sports event photo sharing with PiciMe works the other way around: each participant gets a WhatsApp link, takes one selfie, and PiciMe identifies them with face recognition and sends them a personal album with all the photos they appear in, from the starting line to the finish line. Meanwhile, the organizer gets one central gallery with all the photos from every photographer and every phone, no app and no sign-up.

How every participant gets their photos from the event in 3 simple steps
PiciMe locates every participant within all the event photos, and returns to them only the photos they appear in.
Get a link on WhatsApp
Each participant gets a personal WhatsApp link, or scans the code in the event arena. Without downloading an app and without signing up.
Take one selfie
Take a short, clear selfie. The system recognizes the face and searches for you across all the event photos.
Get only your photos
Within moments a personal album arrives with all the photos you appear in, ready to view, download and share.
The photos find the participants, not the other way around
Each participant gets on WhatsApp all the photos they appear in: at the start, on the course, at the finish line or with the medal, alongside access to the central gallery of the whole event. These are exactly the photos worth saving and sharing, and they get them without asking anyone.
And that's exactly the difference from how it is today. Instead of a Drive link sent a few days after the event and buried in an email no one opens, the photos simply reach each person straight to WhatsApp, that same day.
Photos that participants and their companions took on their phones join the same pool too, so moments from the stands and the finish line reach exactly the people who appear in them.
What happens today to the photos from your event
Three problems every sports event organizer knows, and one reason to solve them all together.
The Drive folder no one opens
You paid a photographer, and a few days after the event you got a thousand photos in a Drive folder. The link was sent to a group email most participants don't open, and the event's momentum, while it was still fresh enough to share, quietly faded.
No one finds themselves in the pile
Among thousands of photos from hundreds of participants, no runner is going to go through photo by photo to find themselves. The perfect shot of crossing the finish line simply gets lost, and never reaches the person in it.
The social momentum dies after two days
A sports event is a moment people are proud to share, but only if the photo reaches them in time. Without that, the posts, the tags and the sponsor exposure that could have lasted another week simply don't happen.
Four moments from the event that reach the WhatsApp of the right people
Every runner got a personal link on WhatsApp, took one selfie, and face recognition found all the photos they appear in. By evening everyone had their albums, no app and no sign-up. Much simpler than sending a Drive link no one opens.
Full opt-in, and everyone sees only themselves
Joining is entirely the participant's choice: only someone who enters through the WhatsApp link or scans the code and takes a selfie joins the system, and everyone sees only the photos they themselves appear in. Event photos are kept for a period set in advance (about six months) and deleted at the end of it. There's no app to install, and no database is kept without the participant knowing about it.
Transparent pricing tailored to the scale of your event
The cost is derived from the scale of the event: the number of participants, the number of photographers and the length of the day. A shared album with a central gallery starts at ₪350, the personal albums with face recognition are included in the Plus plan that starts at ₪500, and the live screen is the add-on of the full plan. You can see the plans on the pricing page, and the fast way to an accurate quote is a short fit call in which we map out the structure of the event.
