Short update for anyone following PikFind.
Launch week is over, so here's what actually got shipped instead of a victory lap.
Guest UI is now in Korean, English, Spanish, Japanese and Chinese. It follows the browser language on the first visit, and if a guest switches manually it sticks across every page.
Referral credits for photographers: invite one and you both get 2,000 photo credits they get theirs after starting as a photographer, you get yours once they upload their first photo, up to 10 invites. Event photographers already work in teams, so this just follows how the work actually moves.
Hi Product Hunt 👋
Since launching PikFind, we’ve been improving the parts that matter when an event gallery meets real guests.
Here’s what we’ve shipped:
🌍 A guest experience that speaks your language
PikFind now supports Korean, English, Spanish, Japanese, and Chinese.
On the first visit, PikFind follows the guest’s browser language automatically. If they choose another language, PikFind remembers it across every page.
🎁 Referral rewards for photographers
Invite a photographer and both sides receive photo credits:
Your friend gets 2,000 photo credits after starting as a photographer.
You get 2,000 photo credits after they upload their first photo.
Rewards apply to up to 10 invited photographers.
The goal is simple: make it easier for photographers who already work together to bring their teams into PikFind.
🔐 Stronger privacy boundaries
We also hardened event PIN access, original-photo permissions, face-search confirmation, cross-event deletion protection, and photo takedown requests.
The core promise stays the same:
We’ve already tested PikFind with a real festival gallery containing 5,184 photos, but we’re still early and learning.
If you organize or photograph events, which update matters most to you: multilingual guest access, referral credits, or sponsor exposure reporting?

Hi Product Hunt 👋
Two weeks in, and the most-requested feature is live: bib number search.
Here's what we shipped since the last update:
🔢 Bib number search (new)
Marathons, cycling, and trail runs find photos by the number on your chest, not your face.
• Organizers flip it on per event — one switch.
• Guests type their bib number and get only their photos.
• Numbers that are only partially visible in the shot still match.
• If the bib is hidden completely, face search finds the rest.
• Nobody is forced to search — anyone can browse by time and folder.
Face search isn't going anywhere. Festivals and dance events with no bibs still work with one selfie. Races just got the tool that matches how their photos are actually found.
👥 Team uploads for Pro events
A Pro event now lets up to 3 photographers upload to the same event together. Invited photographers see it in their own dashboard with live upload progress — no shared passwords, no token juggling. Who shot what never gets mixed up.
🎁 Referral dashboard
The referral program (your friend gets 2,000 credits, you get 2,000, up to 10 friends) now has a partner dashboard that shows the full funnel from invite click to reward.
📖 New reading
• A plain-language guide to how the search actually works
• Separate case studies for marathons vs festivals — the field reality is different
The core promise is unchanged:
Upload once. Share one link. Guests find only the photos they're actually in — no app, no account. Selfies are used to match and are never kept as photos.
Honest status: live and working, proven on a real 5,184-photo dance festival — still early, still learning.
Race organizers: would your participants rather type a bib number than take a selfie? Genuinely curious.
