Selfie search or open gallery: which to choose for your audience

Updated July 23, 2026

Selfie search protects your guests from each other: no one browses anyone else's photos. It's the default for a wedding, a family event, or a corporate party.

The open gallery removes every hurdle: no selfie, no consent screen, just a scan and everything's there. Pick it for a race, a concert, a trade show or an opening, any event whose photos are meant to circulate.

Mixed mode suits seminars: group photos are visible to everyone, while portraits are found through selfie search.

One question decides it: "Would I be comfortable if any one guest could see every photo?" If the answer is no, go with selfie search.

Good to know: open gallery mode asks for no selfie, so no biometric data is processed for your guests.
