Festival photo sharing
Every festival-goer gets their own photos.
Festivals get photographed from every angle: several photographers, several stages, sometimes several days. Then it all ends up in one giant album nobody scrolls to the end of. With Matcha Photo, attendees scan a QR code, take one selfie and get a private gallery of the photos they're in, straight to their phone.
No app. No passwords. Straight to their phone.

How it works at a festival
From QR code to personal gallery, in three steps
Scan a QR code on site
On the screens, the signage, a wristband card or by the stage. It opens in the phone's browser, with nothing to download.
One quick selfie
No app · No password
Take one quick selfie
Face recognition uses that one selfie to find the festival photos each attendee appears in.
Get a private gallery
Each attendee gets a private link to their own gallery by WhatsApp or email, with their photos from every festival photographer.
Why nobody finds themselves in festival photos
Festivals are photographed nonstop. At the end, one enormous album goes up, and anyone who wants to find themselves has to scroll past endless photos of strangers, stage after stage and day after day. Most people give up halfway.
Matcha Photo flips it around. Instead of the crowd searching for the photos, the photos find the crowd. Each attendee gets only the shots they're in, and the photographers' work finally reaches the people in it.
What you get
Built for big crowds and many photographers
Many photographers, one QR code
Every festival photographer uploads to the same event. Attendees scan one code and get one gallery with their photos from all of them, and each photographer is credited for their own shots.
Ready for an international crowd
Set the event to English and the attendee experience and WhatsApp messages run in English, with support for international phone numbers.
Personal delivery by WhatsApp or email
Every attendee gets a private link to their own gallery, not a link to one giant album of the whole festival.
Galleries that open fast
As soon as the photographers upload, Matcha matches the photos and the galleries update. Attendees can look while the festival is still going, not weeks later.
A shared album from the crowd
Attendees can upload the photos they took to one shared album, so the crowd's own angles end up in one place too.
A live screen on site
Festival photos appear on a screen in real time, by the bar, at the entrance or near the stage.
Who it helps
For festival producers
A simple way to give the crowd back its moments, with one QR code for every photographer and no photo requests to handle afterward.
For photographers
Upload as usual, and your photos reach the people in them, with credit for your own work.
For attendees
One selfie in the browser, then your photos arrive by WhatsApp or email. No digging through a giant album.

Do attendees need to download an app?
No. They scan a QR code or open a link, and everything runs in the phone's browser. One selfie, and they get their personal gallery, with no app and no password.
What happens when a festival has several photographers?
All the photographers upload to the same event. Attendees use one QR code and get one gallery with their photos from every photographer, and each photographer is credited for the photos they uploaded.
Does it work for an international crowd?
Yes. The event can be set to English, so the attendee experience and the WhatsApp messages are in English, and international phone numbers are supported. Galleries can also be delivered by email.
How soon do attendees get their photos?
As soon as the photographers upload the photos, Matcha matches them to attendees and the personal galleries update. Attendees can check in during the festival or after it, without waiting weeks.
Does Matcha replace the festival's photographers?
No. Matcha works alongside the photographers, not instead of them. They keep shooting, and Matcha makes sure every attendee gets the photos they appear in.
Every guest gets their own photos, without you chasing anyone.
