Guests find their photos in seconds — just by looking at a camera.
Fotiqo's AI matches a 2-second selfie against every photo taken at your venue. Works across locations, with sunglasses, with makeup, in water. GDPR-safe — face vectors delete immediately after the match.
Selfie-based search, no wristbands
Guest walks up to your kiosk (or opens your WhatsApp gallery on their phone), taps a button, takes a selfie, and sees every photo of themselves from the venue. Works with hats, sunglasses, ski goggles, wet hair from the pool.
- 2-second selfie captured on the kiosk camera or guest's own phone
- AI extracts a face vector and matches across the full gallery
- Typical match in under 2 seconds per 1,000 photos
- Works with occlusions: sunglasses, hats, masks, wet hair
- No wristbands, no QR codes, no room numbers needed
GDPR-safe by default
Face vectors are computed in-memory, used to run the match, and deleted immediately. Nothing persists. No biometric database. No liability for your venue.
- Face vectors deleted immediately after match
- No biometric database retained by Fotiqo or your venue
- Guest sees clear consent before the selfie is captured
- Compliant with GDPR, CCPA, and UK DPA 2018
- Full audit log of face-match operations available on Enterprise tier
Built for high-volume venues
Tested at water parks (4,000 guests/day), hotels (300 rooms), and theme parks (3,000 visitors). Designed to match against galleries of 10,000+ photos in a single pass.
- Up to 10,000 photos matched per search
- Horizontal scaling — add more face-match workers per venue
- Works across destinations — one selfie finds guest's photos at all your locations
- Cross-day matching — 7-day cruises, multi-night hotel stays
- Handles identical-twin edge cases with a confirmation step
Competitive moat
GoPhoto, Pixieset, Pic-Time, ShootProof — none of them ship face recognition. This is the single biggest reason guests convert at Fotiqo-powered venues: they can actually find their photos.
- Not offered by GoPhoto (requires pre-registered wristbands)
- Not offered by RocketRez (POS-only platform)
- Not offered by any Pixieset/Pic-Time tier
- Match rate in tests: 94% (vs ~65% with wristband-only systems)
- Drives +3-5% point conversion lift vs wristband-only

94% match rate

Identical twins get a confirmation step, not a false positive.
Cross-day matching
Same face, multi-night stays — photos aggregate automatically.
Free for guests
The guest never pays to search — only to purchase what they find.
Auto-enrollment
Welcome-archway photo silently enrolls the face for the duration of stay.
Who it's for
Water parks
Kids lose wristbands in water. Parents take the selfie, find every slide photo of the family, buy on the spot. 18% conversion typical.
Hotels & resorts
Guest arrives, face auto-enrolled at welcome archway. Finds every poolside + sunset + dinner photo at the lobby kiosk on checkout day.
Theme parks
Multi-ride capture. Guest takes one selfie at the central photo shop — sees roller-coaster, parade, character meet-and-greet photos all together.
Cruise ships
7-day sailing, thousands of photos. Guest takes one selfie on night 6 — sees every formal night, excursion, and deck photo. One purchase, entire trip.
Full feature list
GoPhoto, Pixieset, Pic-Time, ShootProof, and RocketRez do not offer face recognition. Fotiqo drives a +3-5% point conversion lift at venues that would otherwise rely on wristbands or USB handouts.
