Use the photo upload feature

Take sharper, full-resolution photos in the phone app: tap to focus, flash starts off, pinch in for full detail. Photos upload in the background.

Updated September 29, 2026

Job photos are your record of the work. The camera in the iPhone and Android apps takes full-resolution photos, sharp enough to read a permit or a data plate.

Photos upload in the background. With no signal they wait on the phone and upload when the connection comes back.

Sharper photos

The camera takes a real photo, not a frame from a video. On iPhone that is a 12 MP photo.

In photo mode the viewfinder shows the whole photo, so what you frame is what you get.

Focus, flash and zoom

  • Tap the viewfinder to focus and set exposure there.
  • Flash starts off. Tap it for Auto, then Torch.
  • Pinch in on a saved photo to see full detail.

Permits and data plates

  • Hold the phone square to the page or plate.
  • Tap the text you need before you shoot.
  • Keep the flash off on shiny or laminated surfaces.

Storage

Full-resolution photos take more room. When storage passes 80%, a banner shows about how many more full-quality photos fit.

The storage meter on the Usage tab shows the same estimate.

On the web

In a web browser, photos come from your computer's camera or files and are saved at a standard size.

Check your uploads

Uploads lists what is uploading, waiting or failed. Retry or discard a failed item there.
