Introducing AccioPix: every guest's photos, delivered on WhatsApp

AccioPix sends event photos to the people who are in them. The host or photographer uploads the album once and shares one link. Guests send a selfie on WhatsApp. In the same chat, they receive only their own photos, at full size. Nobody has to install an app or create an account. The price is ₹0.20 per photo.

Guests send one selfie on WhatsApp and get every photo they are in, full size, with no app to install.

The folder problem

Every event ends like this. The photographer delivers a folder with several hundred or several thousand photos. Someone shares the link. Guests have to scroll through the whole batch to find the few pictures of themselves. It is slow work. The photos that matter most to a guest are the easiest ones to miss.

The folder has a second problem. Everyone sees everyone else. Every candid, every half-closed eye, every picture of someone else's family is open to anyone who has the link.

Four steps, from upload to chat

  1. Upload the album. The photographer or host sets up an event. They upload the photos from a laptop or a phone.
  2. Share one link. Put the event's link in the family group. Download its QR card for the tables. Send it any way guests already talk.
  3. A guest taps the link and sends a selfie. That opens a WhatsApp chat with AccioPix. The first note is already typed. The guest sends it, then posts a selfie.
  4. The photos arrive. Every picture of that guest lands in the chat at full size. It includes a link to their own album for later.

Privacy, in four facts

People ask about face matching first. Here is what happens. A guest's selfie is never kept. The software checks it only against photos from that one event. It never looks at other events or an outside database. Guests opt in by sending a selfie. Nobody is matched without doing so. The face data is wiped when the host deletes the photos, the event or the account.

For the full story, and how that compares to the big photo apps, see what privacy-first actually means.

Wherever guests use WhatsApp

AccioPix delivers through WhatsApp because that is where guests already are. By WhatsApp's own count on its About page, "more than 3 billion people in over 180 countries use WhatsApp". A guest in any of them can collect their photos the same way, and the photographer does not need to know which country anyone is in.

You pay per photo. There is no subscription and no annual plan. Prices show in rupees in India and in US dollars everywhere else. A new account gets free credits for 100 photos. These credits never expire.

The events it suits

Anything with a photographer and a guest list: weddings, engagements, birthdays, conferences and races, where a runner finds their photos from a selfie instead of a bib number. The larger the guest list, the more it saves, because the searching happens once in software instead of once per guest.

The photographer's side

Delivery is the one part of the job that every guest sees. Photos that arrive the same day in the chat, carrying the photographer's name, make a lasting impression. Clients remember it and tell their friends. A second shooter can place their photos in the same album as a collaborator, and guests get everything together. You can see the studio workflow on our photography page.
