Conferences use GalleryID the same way an athletic department does, scaled to the league. Upload rosters for the teams you cover, upload your championship and conference-event galleries, and MatchID names the athletes. Add your member schools as users so they can access the photos directly. Send upload links to school photographers or hired freelancers for one-off events.
How it works
The conference office runs it like an athletic department would. Upload rosters for the teams you cover. Upload your championship and event galleries. MatchID identifies and names the athletes. Add member schools as users so they have direct access, or send a gallery link, FTP push, or download. No plugins. No desktop software. Names follow the file.
Upload rosters for the teams your conference covers, same workflow any athletic department uses. Update as the season unfolds. By championship time, the rosters you need are in place.
Multi-layer AI combines face matching with team and event identification against the rosters you uploaded. Athletes get named regardless of which member team they play for.
Add member schools as users on your account so they can access the photos directly. Or build collections, share gallery links, push via FTP to school media operations, or hand off via download. Names travel in the file.
What's included
MatchID, search, collections, sharing, FTP, the store, flexible pricing. Conference owns and manages the archive. Schools receive what you send.
Multi-layer AI combining face matching with team and event identification. Upload rosters for the teams you cover, MatchID names athletes against the right team automatically.
Pull any athlete across the conference archive. All-Conference selections, year-end awards, championship recaps. Names in the metadata make the conference archive searchable.
Conference comms, championship operations, awards committee, marketing. Add the whole conference office. No per-seat charges.
XMP and IPTC PersonInImage embedded on download. Manually tag from any member school’s roster by name or number, no shortcodes needed.
Conference-tournament galleries, All-Conference collections, championship sets. Curate by team, athlete, or event, then share with member schools, media, or sponsors. Public, private, or password-protected.
Share a gallery-specific upload URL with a member-school freelancer or a championship photographer. Files route to the gallery the link is tied to automatically.
Built-in FTP and SFTP. Push tournament galleries to conference media partners, your wire, or to member-school media operations. Names travel in the metadata.
Conference branding applied across your galleries. Your colors, your URL, your conference identity. Member schools that want their own branded galleries run their own GalleryID account.
Sell tournament photos with proceeds going to the school or the conference. Per-photo or per-gallery pricing. Zero commission to GalleryID.
Pick the storage your conference needs. Credits scale with it. Add MatchID credits a la carte for tournament weeks. Built around what your conference actually needs.
Cross-team Roster Intelligence
Import roster headshots for the teams your conference covers. When a conference photographer covers a game between two member teams, MatchID names athletes on both sides against the rosters you uploaded. Update rosters as the season changes. By championship time, the photos arrive named whichever member teams are on the field.
Some states have laws regarding biometric data and age requirements. Please review our Data Processing Agreement for details.
Find photos in seconds
The conference Photos page is your awards-committee and championship-recap command center. Search for an athlete by name and immediately see photos from across the league, from any game they played in.
No more tracking down which member school played which weekend or which photographer covered which game. If the athlete is in the photo and the photo is in the conference archive, you'll find it.
How the access model works
The conference account owns the archive, uploads the rosters, hires conference-event photographers, and manages branding. Same setup as an athletic department, scaled to the league.
Photographers and freelancers upload to conference galleries either as users on your account or through gallery-specific upload URLs you generate for one-off events. Names are applied against the rosters you uploaded.
Member schools can be added as users on your conference account so they have direct access to the photos they need. Or you send them what they need via gallery links, FTP, or download. Schools running their own GalleryID account are separate, GalleryID doesn't link photos across client accounts, so any hand-off happens through standard sharing.
Why MatchID exists
GalleryID started as a face recognition tool. It worked great for clean, face-visible photos and fell short on the conditions a multi-school conference captures across a championship season. Football helmets, hockey gear, lacrosse facemasks, batting helmets, swim caps, goggles, sideline sunglasses, tough angles. Standard face recognition gives up on most of those.
So MatchID grew into something bigger. It reads the face plus the rest of the image, the team uniform, the event context, and matches against the rosters you imported. That additional context names a lot of photos that face recognition alone misses. Helmets and sunglasses still cut the match probability, but you'll see far more of those photos land with names than you would otherwise.
It's not magic. Tough lighting and low-resolution photos still pose a challenge, and uncertain matches go to the review queue. Cross-team identification across member schools works best when you've imported the rosters for all teams in a game. Confidence scoring is honest, not aspirational.
Why switch
FAQ
It’s essentially the same product, scaled to the league. The conference account holds the archive, uploads rosters for the teams you cover, and runs MatchID. Member schools can be added as users on your account so they have direct access to the photos, or you share with them via gallery links, FTP, and downloads. Schools that want their own branded system can run their own GalleryID account, separately.
Yes. Add each member school as a user on the conference account and they get direct access to the photos and galleries you grant them. That’s the simplest setup: schools log in, see what they need, download or share. Schools that prefer to manage their own archive can run a separate GalleryID account, and you share with them through gallery links, FTP, or download. Photos aren’t linked across separate client accounts.
Upload rosters for the teams your conference covers. When a conference photographer covers a game between two member teams, MatchID names athletes on both teams against the rosters you’ve uploaded. Same workflow any athletic department uses, scaled to whichever teams play in your league.
AthleteID belongs to the school that owns the relationship with the individual athlete. Conferences hand named photos to member schools (via direct user access, gallery shares, FTP, or download), and schools that run their own GalleryID account use AthleteID to push that content to their athletes under the school’s branding. The conference doesn’t manage athlete-facing distribution directly.
Block-based pricing, scaled for the conference. Each block is 500 GB plus 2,000 MatchID credits, minimum 4 blocks. Add storage and credits as the archive grows. Pricing covers the conference account; member schools that want their own GalleryID accounts run those separately. View pricing for the block tiers, or book a demo for a rollout walkthrough.
Yes. Built-in download store with per-photo or per-gallery pricing and zero commission. Set prices for championship galleries, media buy direct, proceeds go to the conference or to member schools depending on how you scope the gallery.
Pilot with one conference event. Roll out the full season once the workflow makes sense.
