Event Photo Organizer

Group your event photos by visual similarity right in your browser, to find shots of the same moment fast. No upload to any server.

The photos are not sent anywhere: the comparison happens in your browser and nothing is left when you close the page. The tool does not recognize faces or identify people.

Up to 100 photos at a time. At least two photos are needed to form groups.

How it works

Upload your event photos: the tool compares them - brightness, dominant colours, how the light is distributed in the frame - and puts together the ones that look alike. Shots taken at the same moment and in the same place tend to end up in the same group: from there you name each group and get a tidy folder instead of a long row of loose files.

The tool does not recognize what is in the photos. It cannot tell the catering from the guests or the stage from the setup, and it does not pretend to: it puts together what looks alike, and you, who were there, write the category name. It also flags pairs of almost identical shots, the ones from bursts, so you can thin them out.

The photos do not leave your device. The comparison happens in the browser: no image is sent to us or to third parties, none is saved, and when you close or reload the page nothing is left.

Frequently asked questions

How does it decide which photos go together?

It reduces each photo to a few measurements - average brightness, how saturated the colours are, which hue prevails and how the light is distributed across sixteen areas of the frame - and puts in the same group the photos whose measurements are closest. It does not look at the subjects: two photos with different content but taken in the same light can end up together, and that is normal.

Does it recognize the catering, the stage, the guests?

No, and we would rather say so than let you assume it. Assigning those categories would need a recognizer trained on thousands of hand-labelled event photos: we do not have one, and nobody has ever checked on real event photos how often a generic object recognizer, adapted to these categories, would get it right. A tool that promised the categories and got some of them wrong without saying which would force you to recheck them all, that is, to redo the work from scratch. You, who were there, can tell the catering, the stage and the guests apart: the tool does the tedious part for you, putting together the shots that look alike.

How many photos can I upload at once?

One hundred. It is a limit the tool imposes, not an estimate: it avoids overloading a phone or laptop, since the calculation runs on your device. With a bigger folder, upload it in batches; groups are formed within each upload.

What happens to my photos?

They stay where they are. They are not sent to any server, ours or anyone else's, they are not saved and not kept: the comparison happens entirely in the browser and the memory is cleared when you close or reload the page. For the same reason the tool does not recognize faces or identify anyone: the people pictured are not analysed as people.

Why are some pairs flagged as almost identical?

When two shots are almost indistinguishable on the measurements used, the tool says so. They are usually photos from the same burst: keeping just one is the quickest way to shrink a folder without losing anything.

If I reload the page and upload the same photos, do I get the same groups?

Yes. The calculation has no randomness: with the same photos and the same number of groups, the result is identical. A result that changed on its own would be impossible to use for sorting an archive.

Can I decide how many groups to make?

Yes. By default the tool tries several splits and keeps the one that separates the photos best, but you can set the number from two to eight: if you know the event, you will know better than the calculation how many different situations there were.
