How do I use Photo Lab to share my fundraising?

Photo Lab turns your profile photo and your live fundraising numbers into a branded image with your donate link, ready to post. You can also add filters and stickers, and crop your photo for Instagram Stories.

How to open Photo Lab

  • Your personal link. Go to photolab.raceforimpact.com/ followed by your page path: the part after raceforimpact.com/ in your fundraising page link. For example, if your page is raceforimpact.com/alex-smith, open photolab.raceforimpact.com/alex-smith.

  • The resources page. Go to our resources page at raceforimpact.com/resources and find "Share your fundraising with personalised images". You need to be logged in to your profile to see it there. If you aren't, log in first at raceforimpact.com/login (see How can I log in to my fundraising profile?).

  • Your milestone emails. Our milestone emails include a one-tap link straight into Photo Lab.

Create your image

  1. Check your photo. Photo Lab starts with your profile photo. To use a different one, upload it.

  2. Choose a frame. Frames such as My Why add your fundraising details to the image. Frames use the Story crop, so tap to crop to Story when Photo Lab asks.

  3. Add filters and stickers if you'd like to.

  4. Tap Copy fundraiser link. This copies your page link and unlocks the Share button.

Share it

On a phone, tap Share to open your phone's share options and post to Instagram or another app. On a computer, the button downloads the image instead, so save it and post it from your phone.

Posting to an Instagram Story

Add your image to a Story, then add a link sticker and paste your fundraising page link so viewers can tap through and donate. Use the link sticker, not a QR code: QR codes don't work when posted digitally. Keep your QR poster for print (see How do I get and share a QR code for my fundraising page?).

Tag @raceforimpact so our social team sees your post (see Can Race for Impact share my social media post?).

Something not working?

  • Check that the part after photolab.raceforimpact.com/ matches your public page link exactly.

  • If the Share button isn't available yet, tap Copy fundraiser link first.

Still stuck? Message us through the chat on our site with your page link and a screenshot. For more ways to share your page, see What tools does Race for Impact give me to help my fundraising?
