### **Overview**

Graphics are an integral part of sports photography. Whether you're creating memory mates or team photos, we're here to provide suggestions for simple GotPhoto integrations to save you time and effort.

In this article, we review the basics of three available options - QMate, Pixnub export, and Team Photo Composite.

---

### **Using QMate**

Use QMate to create memory mates and sports graphics using team and individual photos.

QMate allows you to create beautiful [memory mates and sports graphics](https://help.gotphoto.com/en/support/create-and-sell-memory-mates-in-gotphoto?hsLang=en). You will need a team photo and individual athlete photos to begin this process.

#### Download QMate

QMate is currently only supported for Windows.  
You can download and test the software [here](https://noltesoftware.com/downloads/). We also recommend regularly checking the page for updated versions.  
A yearly license can be purchased [here](https://noltesoftware.com/order/).

You can download a User Guide for QMate [here](https://hubs.ly/Q01hw96j0).

**Please note:** While not included in the guide, under the output preview, you can now select whether you would like to save your graphics as memory mates. When saved as memory mates, the images will automatically be tagged as [composites](https://help.gotphoto.com/en/support/mark-photos-as-a-composite-collage-in-gotphoto?hsLang=en), and your composite pricing will be applied.

You can also check out our **QMate Walkthrough** of the software:

### Tagging and file name requirements for QMate

- Using manual tagging will hide individual galleries in QMate. Please use other tagging methods if you plan on using QMate in a job.
- **File name requirements:** Avoid using symbols like `/, \, :, *, ?, ", <, >, |, &, %, #`, spaces, or multiple periods in file names. These can break file paths, and images will not import into QMate. Use only letters, numbers, underscores (\_), and hyphens (-) for compatibility.

Troubleshooting: [Photos won’t import into QID or QMate](https://help.gotphoto.com/en/support/troubleshooting-photos-wont-import-into-qid-or-qmate?hsLang=en)

### QMate FAQs

**Can I use QMate on a Mac?**

While QMate is only supported on Windows, you can bridge that gap by using a tool like [Parallels](https://www.parallels.com/), which lets you run Windows - and therefore QMate - on your Mac.

### **Using Pixnub EZ composites export (US/Canada)**

You can use [Pixnub](https://pixnub.com/) as an external graphics creation tool with automated CSV export from GotPhoto.

**Pixnub EZ Composites export for Pixnub users**

GotPhoto's new Pixnub EZ Composites export creates a Pixnub-compatible CSV (EZCOMP format) in one click. It uses your existing job data and grouping, so no additional setup is required. The file can be used directly in Pixnub without further modification.

**Where to find it**

The feature is currently rolled out gradually; if you don't see it in your account yet, it will be available soon. 

In your job, click the **Subjects** tab \> click **Student data export**.

![Student data export option in Subjects tab](https://help.gotphoto.com/hubfs/gotphoto-migration/OeK70QyRXi9t0IFCyRcEm3ljT5B9541kwg.png)

Next, click **Create export**.

![Create export button](https://help.gotphoto.com/hubfs/gotphoto-migration/Xj3X5SUDZ2pMo5wDB5zfZRzrax-Xu234bQ.png)

On the next screen, ignore the filter options, as they are not applicable for the Pixnub Composite export.

![Filter options screen](https://help.gotphoto.com/hubfs/gotphoto-migration/eelyH_t6dzygojeFOi1nzB0qhRn9mlZ56w.png)

In the Format step, select the export type **Pixnub Composites** and press the **Download** button.

![Pixnub export format selection](https://help.gotphoto.com/hubfs/gotphoto-migration/3LMD6vX9NvYu5fQUgnic0xXPuWRTCksYUw.png)

**Why use this export?**

Preparing Pixnub files often requires manual CSV formatting or third-party tools. This export removes those extra steps, reduces the risk of formatting errors, and simplifies the workflow before working in Photoshop.

Please note:

- The export is a data-only export. Images must be downloaded separately in Photo Management.
- One row per image
- The GROUPID is based on the existing job grouping
- The export is not customizable

**Requirements**

- Available in North America
- The job must contain student image data
- Only students with at least one image are included
- Grouping must be in the names list group column
- PNG format is typically required

**Export structure**

The export generates a CSV file in Pixnub EZCOMP format.

- Image filename
- First name
- Last name
- Group ID (GROUPID)
- Group text

Sample export:

### **Using Team Photo Composite**

Use Team Photo Composite to generate full team photos from individual athlete photos.

#### Download Team Photo Composite

You can download and test the software for [Windows](https://www.albumds.com/resources/downloaddemo.php?fileurl=TPCWIN&source=demo) or [Mac](https://www.albumds.com/resources/downloaddemo.php?fileurl=TPCMAC&source=demo).  
A yearly license can be purchased [here](https://teamphotocomposite.com/#buy-id).

You can find more information about using Team Photo Composite [here](https://teamphotocomposite.com/learn/). Please note that GotPhoto does not support this external tool; please reach out directly to the provider.

You can also check out our **Team Photo Composite Webinar** for a full walkthrough of the software:

### **The takeaway**

Enhance your sports photography offerings with QMate, Pixnub, and Team Photo Composite integrations.

- Use QMate for memory mates and automated graphics
- Use Pixnub for CSV-driven Photoshop workflows
- Use Team Photo Composite for team images from individual photos
