Photo search

Find a travel photo by describing it.

You remember the icebergs, not the date. Every photo you add to Trvlrr is described when it's uploaded — what's in it, the landmark, any words on a sign — so a few words find it, with the trip and the place it came from.

How it works

Described once. Found in a few words.

A caption and tags

A short description of each photo and the things in it: a tram, a ceiling, a plate of ramen.

The landmark

Named from where the photo was taken, and only when it's really there — a guess from somewhere else is dropped.

Words in the picture

A station sign, a menu, a street name: text in the photo is searchable too.

Trip, place and people

Search also matches the trip, the city and the people in the photo.

Getting photos in

Suggested by date. Added in a tap.

Screen recording of the Photos tab in Trvlrr: an album per trip

An album for every trip.

Trvlrr suggests the photos from your library taken during each trip's dates, so filing a trip's photos is one tap. You can also share up to 200 photos at once from the Photos app, or drag them into the web app.

  • Your photos are uploaded only when you choose — never in the background.
  • Albums open on your trips: a cover, a count and a year.

People, found on your phone.

Faces are recognised on your iPhone; your photos are never sent anywhere for it. Trvlrr groups the photos of each person across every trip and asks who they are, once.

Private by design

Your photos, described for you alone.

Descriptions are written by Anthropic's Claude on our servers and are never used to train any model. You can switch photo descriptions off, and remove them, whenever you like. Only you and the people you invite can see your photos.

Questions

Asked and answered

Is photo search free?

Photo search and people are part of Trvlrr Plus. The free plan keeps 100 photos with descriptions; Plus has no photo limit. See pricing.

Does Trvlrr upload my whole photo library?

No. Nothing is uploaded until you choose it — from the suggestions for a trip, the share sheet, or the web app.

How does it know the landmark?

From where the photo was taken. A landmark is named only when it stands within a few kilometres of the photo; otherwise the photo is described without one rather than given a confident wrong name.

Are my photos used to train AI?

No. Photos are described to make your search work and are never used to train any model.
