Race photos from the crowd, sorted by bib number
Heysnaps lets spectators at a 5K, marathon, or triathlon upload photos through QR codes posted along the course. Bib numbers are read automatically from the pictures and matched against the start list, so every participant gets a page with their own photos and a short finisher video. Organizers get race photos without hiring a photo crew for every corner.
How it works on race day
Each spot on the course gets its own QR code: the start, the hill, the finish chute. Spectators scan it and upload from their phone browser. Heysnaps knows where each photo was taken from the code that was scanned.
Bib recognition
The bib number is read from the photo and checked against your start list. A number that is not on the list is not assigned. Organizers can correct or hide any photo.
A link for your results page
Every participant page has a stable address that includes the bib number, so your timing company can link it next to each result.
