How smart search works
01
Photos are analyzed on upload
Each photo gets an AI description, keywords and categories, and a visual embedding that captures what is in the shot.
02
You type what you remember
Plain words work. The query is expanded with related terms, so “cake” also catches “cake cutting”.
03
Results are ranked by meaning
Pixeva blends visual similarity with keyword matches, then re-ranks the top results so the best fit comes first.
04
Combine it with face search
Face search answers “which photos am I in”. Smart search answers “which photos show this moment”. Guests can use both.
Why search by description
A 3,000-photo wedding gallery sorted by time is hard to browse. People remember moments, not timestamps.
Smart search lets the couple find every speech photo for a thank-you card, or a planner pull every venue shot for their portfolio, in seconds.
It works on the event’s own photos, with no manual tagging by the photographer.
Availability: Smart search is included in Pro, Business and the one-time $49 Event Pass. Compare plans.
Smart Search FAQ
- Can I search event photos by what is in them?
- Yes. Smart search lets you type a description such as “first dance” or “blue dress” and returns the matching photos.
- Do photos need to be tagged first?
- No. Pixeva analyzes each photo automatically after upload.
- Is this the same as face search?
- No. Face search finds photos of a person from a selfie. Smart search finds photos of a moment, object or scene from a text description.
