How it works

  1. 01

    Set up your shoot

    Choose your sport and team, add your event details and caption template, and confirm the roster. Enter metadata in the app or import an XMP template. An XMP upload is optional.

  2. 02

    Upload your edited JPGs

    Drop in your selects, all at once or in batches as the game unfolds. Peak Action checks faces and jersey numbers, where available, to suggest athlete and coach matches.

  3. 03

    Review, refine, and download

    Check names, choose or edit the action, and download JPGs with captions embedded. Athlete names and captions travel with your photos into your editing and delivery workflow.

Less typing. More time for the shot.

A blocked jersey shouldn’t mean another roster lookup.

Peak Action uses faces and jersey numbers to help identify athletes when one clue is obscured. Review the suggested matches and correct them before delivery.

Action suggestions. Your final call.

Magic Captions suggests actions for the athletes matched in your photo. Choose the best fit, edit the wording, and review the caption before delivery. Available for soccer, basketball, football, and field hockey (more sports coming soon).

Keep the shortcuts you already know.

Import your Photo Mechanic code replacement files and expand familiar codes into caption text. Organize lists by sport and search as you type.

You’re in control before delivery.

See the suggested matches and caption for each photo. Correct an identification, edit the text, or add someone by hand before you download.

Built for volume

Work through a batch of selects or a whole shoot with keyboard shortcuts and reusable rosters. Cover both teams in supported leagues. Your photos are never used to train models.
