Built for the way schools work
Roster-first, AI-sorted, mobile-friendly
Roster Integration
Import student rosters via CSV. Map class, grade, and teacher in seconds. Track who was photographed and who still needs a make-up.
AI Face Matching
AI compares every face to the reference selfie and auto-sorts photos into student galleries. Review interface lets you verify edge cases quickly.
Class Photos
AI finds every kid in the team and class shot, so each student gets their group photo in their gallery automatically.
Memory Books
Class composites, student name strips, and consistent cropping. Photos exportable for yearbook software in standard sizes.
Mobile-First Parent Galleries
Most parents shop on their phones. Galleries are designed mobile-first with Apple Pay and Google Pay built in.
Fast Turnaround
Print Station lets you fulfill in-house and ship as soon as parents order — turnaround depends on your studio setup, not a third-party lab queue.

Frequently asked questions
How do parents access their child’s photos?
Parents receive a magic link by email or SMS as soon as the gallery is published. One tap signs them into their account and shows only their child’s photos. There are no access codes to lose, no envelopes to track down, and no calls to the school office.
How does the AI face matching work?
On picture day, our Android Reference Capture app takes one quick selfie of each student tied to their roster entry. After the shoot, AI compares every photo to those reference selfies and auto-sorts them into student galleries. A review interface lets you verify or override matches before publishing.
Can we export photos for yearbook software?
Yes. Photos export in standard sizes with consistent cropping and your preferred naming convention, ready for yearbook software. Class composites, teacher and staff photos, and missing-student tracking are all supported.
What about make-up days and absent students?
PPS tracks who was photographed and who wasn’t straight from your roster. On make-up day, just shoot the missing students and AI slots them into the right galleries automatically.
