About Runners Photos Bib Tagger

About the Service

Runners Photos Bib Tagger is designed to make race photo tagging fast, accurate, and effortless. Select an album, hit Start, and let the service handle the rest. Behind the scenes, the service works in three stages: scanning images with an AI engine, analyzing results to match bib numbers, and writing bib numbers (and runner names when provided) into the keywords field for each image.

Even if the process is aborted at any point, the scanned data is not lost. You can resume or re-run tagging without repeating work. Scan data for up to 100 albums is stored so that you can tag images again with different confidence levels multiple times without additional cost.

Because images are processed directly through the AI engine and never downloaded to your local device, internet speed has minimal impact as long as the page remains open.

Billing is based only on the cost of AI image processing. Scanning incurs a usage-based fee, while all post-processing (computing matches and writing tags) is completely free.

About Me

My name is Takao, and I live in Washington, USA. I love photography, especially capturing the energy and emotion of running races. Building tools like this is something I genuinely enjoy - combining technology, problem-solving, and the running community into something useful.

Runners Photos Bib Tagger is a project I created to help race organizers, photographers, and runners get more value out of their event photos with less manual work. The same technology powers the bib tagging on the albums at runners.photos.
