Selfie search

Facial recognition for selling photos.

In albums with many photos, people use a selfie to find the images they appear in. When the feature is enabled, search becomes faster and checkout is only a step away.

Available when facial recognition is enabled for the album.

When people find their photo, the sale moves forward.

At large events, publishing photos is only part of the challenge. People also need a faster way to find the right images without browsing one by one. Facial recognition shortens that journey.

Still have questions?

Clear answers about facial recognition on Banlek.

Does every album have facial recognition?

Not necessarily. Facial recognition is used when the feature is enabled for the album.

How do people find their photos?

They open the album and, when facial recognition is available, use a selfie to find photos they appear in.

Does it work across more than one album?

Yes. Multi-album facial search lets people search with facial recognition across multiple albums when that format is configured.

What if the album does not use facial recognition?

People can also browse the album and look for photos manually.

Does facial recognition help sales?

Reduces friction during search. The easier it is for people to find their photos, the more natural it feels to continue to checkout.

Does it work for events with many photos?

Yes. At events with many photos, selfie search helps people find the images they appear in.
