Children racing on a dusty school athletics track
For parents, athletes and runners

Stop scrolling through 1 800 photos to find one child.

Every photo is indexed for faces, bib numbers and jersey numbers within minutes of upload, across every photographer at the event.

  1. Search once

    Upload a selfie, type a bib, or pick a team and jersey number. Results are ranked by confidence and explain why they matched.

  2. Buy what you want

    Social size from R 35, high-resolution from R 79, bundles and an event pass for every photo of one athlete. Pay with PayFast, Peach, Paystack or SnapScan.

  3. Follow an athlete

    Save a face once and get an email whenever a new photo is published, at any event, by any photographer. Delete it any time.

Privacy by design

Face data is special personal information under POPIA. Consent first, guardian consent for minors, deletion on request, and a takedown queue with a 30-day clock.

Originals stay private

Only watermarked previews are ever public. Purchased downloads come from signed, expiring links. Photographers keep their copyright.

Built for millions of images

Uploads land in object storage; thumbnails, watermarks, face embeddings and OCR run as background jobs behind a CDN. Workers scale with the queue.
