AI jersey & team tags

Instead of typing jersey numbers onto photos one by one, you can have an AI model read the numbers and team names that are printed and visible in your photos and add them as searchable tags -- so a parent who searches "23" finds every photo of number 23.

What it does -- and doesn't

• Your photos are processed by an AI model. When photos are scanned, a downsized copy of each one (without your watermark) is sent over an encrypted connection to Anthropic's Claude AI, which returns only the text it can read. Image Depot doesn't store that copy and doesn't use your photos to train AI models.
• No facial recognition, no biometric data. The AI is instructed never to identify anyone from their face or body -- it only reads printed text. Player names come only from text printed in the photo itself or from a roster you provide.
• It can be wrong. Small, blurry, angled, or partly hidden numbers are often missed, and it can occasionally misread one. When it's not sure, it's told to leave the number out rather than guess.
• Your own tags are never touched. AI tags are kept separately from the tags you type, and Find My Athlete searches both.

Turn it on and scan

1. Open the gallery, then AI jersey tagsRead the notice, tick the box confirming you understand photos are processed by an AI model (only asked the first time), and switch the gallery on.
2. New uploads scan automaticallyOnce a gallery is on, photos you upload afterward are scanned in the background -- it never slows an upload.
3. Scan photos already in the galleryPress Scan to queue the photos that haven't been scanned yet. Tags appear as each one finishes.

Add a roster (optional)

Paste one player per line -- team, number, name (or just number, name) -- and searching a player's name will find their photos. A name is only added when the AI actually reads that number (and that team, if you gave one); if two players could match, it's skipped instead of guessed. Names in a roster become searchable on your public galleries, so only add names you're comfortable making searchable. Changing the roster later re-applies names to photos already scanned at no extra cost.

Review and clear

The same page lists your photos with their AI tags next to your own. Clear one photo's AI tags, or every AI tag in the gallery, any time. Turning the gallery off stops new scanning; tags already added stay searchable until you clear them.

Pricing and your photo allowance

AI scanning has a real cost for every photo, so -- like Image Watch and Quick Upload -- it's a paid add-on, AI Athlete Tags, available on the Pro plan and above:

• $19.99 per month includes 2,500 photos scanned per month (the month resets on the 1st, UTC). Cancel any time; you keep it through the period you already paid for, with no refund for the current period.
• Need more? Buy extra photos. Packs of 1,000 photos are $10 each (1 to 20 packs at a time). They're prepaid, so you're only ever charged when you buy -- there is no automatic top-up. Extra photos are used after that month's included photos run out, can be used while your subscription is active, and stay on your account if you cancel and are there again if you re-subscribe. They aren't refunded automatically; contact support if something went wrong.
• Your first 200 photos are free -- once per account, no subscription needed -- so you can see how well it reads your photos. After that, scanning needs the add-on.

Every photo that's scanned counts once against whichever allowance pays for it. A photo that fails before the AI is billed for it is put back automatically, so a failure never costs you a scan. If a scan can't run because you're out of photos, nothing is queued and nothing is charged -- the AI page tells you what's left and lets you subscribe or buy more. Only the account owner can subscribe, buy photos or cancel.

Manage it from the AI page in any gallery, or under Plan & Billing.
