Features · Face sort for events and pageants
Every contestant's photos, sorted for you.
Upload the whole event unsorted. HeyShutter groups the frames by person and shooting order, so you spend the evening checking instead of dragging files.
Large Format ($39 a month) and up. Not available to studios in Illinois.
How it works
Face sort for events in 4 steps.
Upload everything
Drop in the whole event. Folders named like 12/Fitness sort themselves.
Check the groups
Frames are grouped by face and time. Merge, split or move a group in a click.
Number them
The frame shot before each group is shown as the likely number card, so numbering takes seconds.
Invite every family
Paste the contestant list with parent emails and every account and invitation is made at once.
What you get
Made by a pageant photographer
HeyShutter's face sort was built for a real pageant studio. It turns a long night of sorting into a quick check, and gets galleries to families while the event is still fresh.
Faces and the time each frame was taken put photos with the right person, in order.
Print a QR card per contestant. Scan it before their set and every frame after it lands in their gallery.
One paste creates every family's account, gallery and invitation.
Each family gets a text from your studio when their contestant's photos are ready.
Families who opt in find group and stage shots of their contestant with a selfie. The selfie is never stored.
Face matching only runs with consent, face data is cleared on a schedule, and studios in states with biometric laws confirm the people agreed.
Questions
About face sort for events.
Do I still check the sorting?
Yes. HeyShutter does the first pass; you check each group and fix anything with merge, split and move before a single photo reaches a family.
Is the selfie stored?
No. A family's selfie is used to find matching photos and is never stored.
Is face matching available everywhere?
In every US state except Illinois. Studios in Texas, Washington and Colorado confirm that the people in their photos agreed before turning it on.
Which plans include it?
Large Format at $39 a month and Signature.
