Export photos grouped by face album so portrait or event photo sets can be delivered, archived, or reviewed by person.

After generating face-album groups, export the current complete set of groups for delivery, archiving, or offline review.

Steps

  1. Open the face album.
  2. Adjust the similarity threshold and generate the groups.
  3. Review the grouped result on the page.
  4. Choose Export.
  5. Confirm the action and select the target folder.
  6. Wait for all current groups to be exported.

Suggestions

  • Export applies to all current groups; the top Export button does not limit the export to a selected group.
  • If identities are mixed, adjust the threshold and generate the groups again before exporting.
  • Use meaningful folder names when delivering by person.
  • Keep an original path record if the team may need to trace source files later.

Common Cases

  • The page does not remove individual incorrect faces from a group. Regroup with a better threshold, or clean the exported folders manually.
  • If there are too many results, narrow the source with Folder Filter and summarize again.

Photo counts, face counts and RAW export

From 3.13.29, people lists distinguish photo count from face count. A photo may contain several faces assigned to the same person, so exported photo counts need not match face counts. People, face-album and image-cluster exports copy RAW originals. Keep originals accessible and provide enough destination space.

The top Export action includes every current group. Group folders use numeric group IDs, not names maintained in People. The screenshot shows confirmation for one group; a confirmation dialog alone does not show that copying has completed.

Screenshot Example

The NASA public-domain portrait from the scikit-image sample dataset and its identical backup form one group containing two photos at threshold 40. These screenshots show the same sample used in Face Search. Identical copies illustrate the workflow, not recognition accuracy across different portraits; 40 is the example setting, not a threshold recommendation for every event.
