Race photography software that sorts every photo by bib and face
Send photos from the camera over FTP, from a cloud folder or from the browser. Recognition reads the bib numbers and detects the faces, and the event gets a gallery where every participant finds their own photos minutes after upload. It runs in the browser: nothing to install.
First 5,000 photos free, all features included, no card.
How it works
- 01
Upload as you shoot
Camera FTP during the race, a shared cloud folder, or a whole folder from the browser. - 02
Recognition sorts
Bib numbers are read from the photo, faces are detected for selfie search, and the timeline orders everything by capture time. - 03
The event gets a gallery
A share link or a two-line embed on the organizer's website, searchable by bib or selfie.
Upload from where you already work
Every route can credit the photos to the photographer who took them.
Straight from the camera
From a cloud folder
From the browser
Without an account
Recognition does the sorting
Bib numbers are read directly from the photo, with no QR or 2D code on the bib. Faces are detected, so a participant whose bib is hidden can still be found by a selfie. The timeline lets anyone browse the photos taken around the time they passed you.
Each sport has its own detection rules, set by the event type: the number is looked for on a chest, a frame plate, a swim cap or a motocross bike, where that sport wears it. Add the list of valid bib numbers and only real bibs count. Any photo can be tagged by hand.

- Each recognition type is switched on per album

- Photographers
- Album statistics count photos per photographer; one click shows one photographer's photos
Deliver a gallery, not a folder
A folder of thousands of files leaves participants scrolling. In a gallery each one types a bib number or takes a selfie and sees only their photos.
Share it as a link in results, emails and social posts, or give the organizer the two-line embed code for their website, in any CMS. The gallery language is set per event.
Event statistics show views, downloads, bib searches and selfie searches.
How it works with the organizer
An account in MyRun is an organization: it owns the events, pays for recognition and, if it sells, receives the payments. There are two common setups.
How the work is split
An organization has several members. It creates as many events as it needs, and each event holds several albums: one per photographer, per location on the course or per part of the day. The event carries the global settings (privacy, watermarks, prices, the gallery), and each album carries its own switches (bib, selfie and sponsor recognition, timeline, selling, photo quality), inherited from the event until you change them.
Upload links, one album each
Every album can have its own upload link. A photographer with the link uploads into that album only, with no access to the main account and nothing else visible: you choose whether they can also see the album's photos, edit tags or set the cover, require their name, cap the number of photos and switch the link off at any time.
The organizer has the account
You upload into their event by link, Camera FTP or cloud folder, without an account of your own.
You have the account
You create the event, add your watermark and hand the organizer a share link or the embed code for their website.

If you share the sales with the organizer, you agree the split between you. MyRun pays the Stripe account of the organization that owns the event and keeps no part of it.
An agency works as one organization: invite each photographer as a Member, and the album statistics show how many photos each one delivered.
If you decide to sell photos
Connect your own Stripe account. Payments from participants go straight to it, and payouts and refunds are handled in your Stripe dashboard. MyRun takes 0% commission: we charge for software, not for your work. The only deduction is Stripe's standard processing fee.
Prices are set per event, in the currency you choose, with volume discounts and optional gift photos.
Watermarks protect the previews, positioned per photo orientation. Your originals stay untouched, buyers download the clean full-quality file, and recognition runs on the unwatermarked version.
The sales dashboard shows revenue, orders, photos sold and abandoned carts, with a CSV export. Until Stripe is connected, checkout runs in test mode.
Selling is optional: everything else on this page works without it.
What it costs you
You pay for recognition and hosting, per photo, at a public price. The first 5,000 photos are free: recognition and 12 months of hosting, all features, no card. After that, recognition is bought in steps of 5,000 photos, from €0.030 per photo, down to €0.025 and €0.022 at higher volumes, with 12 months of hosting included. No subscription, no setup fee, no automatic charges.
Questions
Do I need to install anything?
No. MyRun runs in the browser, and photos also arrive from a cloud folder or from the camera over FTP. There is no desktop app or plugin.
Can I upload directly from my camera during the race?
Yes, if your camera sends photos over FTP. Turn on Camera FTP for the album, enter the server, port and password in the camera, use your name as the username and choose plain FTP (not FTPS or SFTP). Test with one photo before the start.
Do I need an account to shoot for an organizer who uses MyRun?
No. The organizer sends you an upload link or a Camera FTP login, or imports your shared cloud folder. None needs an account, and your photos can be credited to your name.
Who gets the money when photos are sold?
The organization that owns the event, through its own Stripe account: yours if you have the account, the organizer's if they do. Any split between you is agreed between you. MyRun takes 0% commission; only Stripe's processing fee applies. If you do not see the Monetization tab, write to support@myrun.eu and selling is switched on for your organization.
How fast do participants see their photos?
Recognition starts on each batch as it arrives, so photos are searchable minutes after upload. When the gallery fills up depends on when the photos are uploaded.
What does it cost a photographer?
The first 5,000 photos are free. After that, recognition costs €0.030 per photo, less at higher volumes, with 12 months of hosting included. On the organizer's account, the organizer pays. For larger events, write to support@myrun.eu before buying.
