No facial recognition of children. Ever.
Most platforms scan kids’ faces to sort photos. We built ours to never do that, and here’s exactly how.
Yes, it’s AI. Here’s exactly what it does.
Because we lean so hard on privacy, the fair question is: how does it cull and edit, if not in the cloud? The answer is on-device AI. It runs entirely on your own computer, your photos are never uploaded to be analyzed, and you always make the final call.
It does
- Detects whether a face is present, on your computer
- Scores sharpness, eyes-open, and gaze to pick keepers
- Deletes nothing and uploads nothing to analyze
It never
- Build a faceprint or identity template
- Recognize or match who a child is
- Send photos to the cloud for face analysis
Trained on a decade of hand-picking keepers
The culling reflects how our founder has hand-picked sessions for the last ten years: the sharp, natural, eyes-open frames that look like real kids, not stiff, look-straight-ahead portraits. It’s a head start, not a replacement. You review and adjust every pick, and can keep refining in Lightroom.
We sort by time, not by face.
There’s no facial recognition anywhere in the matching process. It works on something simple and reliable: when each photo was taken.
- 01
Mark the moment
During the shoot, the mobile app records the time window for each student.
- 02
Read the timestamps
Every photo carries the exact time it was taken, straight from your camera.
- 03
Match by time
Photos line up with the right student by when they were taken, no face scan needed.
No face data means no privacy risk for your school.
Because we never collect face data on students, your school takes on no biometric privacy risk, and we handle the compliance paperwork for you.
- We handle the compliance paperwork and contracts, signed securely without a password
- Coverage for every US state, DC, and territories

Built for where the rules are heading.
From April 2026, the updated COPPA rule treats facial-recognition data as personal information requiring verifiable parental consent before collecting it from children under 13. Platforms built on face-matching kids have to retrofit consent. We simply don’t collect it in the first place.
This isn’t legal advice, it’s the principle the product is built on.
Picture day shouldn’t mean scanning kids’ faces.
A modern platform that gets families their photos, without scanning anyone’s face.
