Photographer Questions
Uploading and sharing your work
How do I upload photos to an event?
Race organizers invite photographers via a magic link—no account needed. Open the link, drag your photos in, and our AI handles bib tagging automatically.
Do I need a PacePics account?
Not to upload. Organizers send you a magic upload link that works straight in your browser. If you want a public photographer profile and portfolio, you can create a free account anytime.
How does AI auto-tagging work?
Upload your photos and our AI instantly tags every visible bib number and face. Athletes search for their bib and find your shots immediately—no manual sorting required.
Do I keep copyright on my photos?
100% yes. You keep full ownership and rights. Athletes receive only a personal-use license when they download. Your art, your rights.
How are my high-res images protected?
Photos are stored securely on our servers and delivered via signed URLs. You control whether full-resolution downloads are available on your photos.
Can multiple photographers cover the same event?
Absolutely! We encourage it. Athletes love multiple perspectives—every photographer's gallery appears under the same event so athletes can browse them all in one place.
How do I build my reputation on PacePics?
Your photographer profile automatically showcases your most-viewed work. Feature photos on your profile, and your event galleries become your portfolio for future organizer bookings.
What happens to photos after an event?
Photos stay live indefinitely unless you or the organizer removes them. Many athletes discover event photos months later—your work keeps reaching people long after race day.
