What's new in Bibbit: runner check-in, selfie search and a photographer directory
Runners can check in with a selfie at the race, find their own photos with one, and find you in a new directory of event photographers. Plus search buttons for your galleries and printable check-in posters.
Here's what we've added to Bibbit over the last few weeks, and where to find each piece.
Runner check-in
Runners scan a QR code at the race, take a selfie and type their name. When your gallery's face scan runs, every photo they're in is tagged with their name, even the ones where their bib is hidden.
Where to find it: open an event and choose the Check-in tab. Turn on face grouping for the event first; check-in matches faces.
- Print the check-in poster from the same tab: a ready-made A4 sign with the QR code, your logo and the race's.
- Add the race's logo and colours so the check-in page looks like theirs.
Selfie search for your galleries
Runners who weren't at check-in can still find themselves. On your search page they upload a selfie and type their name, and Bibbit takes them straight to a search of the right gallery for their bib number and name.
Where to find it: Account → Search page. It lists your search links, latest first, with a copy-and-paste search button for each gallery.
Help: adding a search button to SmugMug and other hosts.
Find an event photographer
Runners, race directors and event organisers can now find photographers who use Bibbit at Find an event photographer. Add the Bibbit badge to your website to be listed.
Where to find it: Account → Photographer listing.
