Photos

Item photos drive the thumbnails you see across the inventory list and any list view that references items. House photos cover the property itself — exterior shots, before-and-after frames, and per-room groupings that line up with the rooms in the house. Themed room templates carry their own photos so the design concept travels with the template every time you apply it.

On a house, photos are split into a House Photos section (anything not pinned to a specific room) and one section per room. On an item, photos appear as a single gallery on the item's Photos tab and as the thumbnail across inventory lists. On a themed room template, photos travel with the template, so applying the template to a new house copies the design photos straight into the new room.

1. 1

   Open the Photos tab

   From any house, item, or themed room detail page, switch to the Photos tab. The action bar at the top shows the current photo count, an Upload button, and on desktop a Gallery button to open the full-screen view.
2. 2

   Pick or drag your files

   Click Upload to open the system file picker, or drag a batch of images straight onto the page. Selecting more than one file uploads them a few at a time — the progress bar shows the current filename and a per-file percentage as each one runs through the pipeline.
3. 3

   Wait for the gallery to refresh

   Each image is rotated based on its EXIF orientation, encoded, and uploaded. When all files finish, the new thumbnails land in the gallery in the order they were picked. Anything that isn't a recognized image (a stray .txt, for example) is silently skipped.

Open the full-screen gallery, click the photo you want to label, and choose Edit on the right side of the screen. Type the caption and click Save. The caption appears underneath the photo in the gallery and follows the photo if it's later moved between rooms or restored after a delete.

Each house's Photos tab renders a House Photos section first, then one section per room in the house. Each room section has its own Upload button, so photos uploaded from there land in that room directly. To regroup an existing photo, drag its thumbnail from one section into another — drop it onto the target room's section and the move saves immediately.

A room selector in the action bar lets you jump between sections without scrolling, and the page tracks the section currently in view so the selector always reflects where you are.

Grab any thumbnail and drag it to a new spot. While dragging, the source photo dims slightly and the drop position is highlighted; the new order saves as soon as you release. To promote a photo to the lead, drag it to the first position in its section. Drag a photo across to a different room section to both move and reorder it in one motion.

On desktop, click Gallery in the action bar, or click any thumbnail, to open the gallery starting at that photo. Use the on-screen arrows or the left and right arrow keys to step through, and the thumbnail strip at the bottom to jump. The right side of the gallery has Edit and Delete buttons for users with edit permissions.

When the gallery opens from a specific room section, it starts on the first photo in that room rather than the first photo overall, so you stay in the context you were already looking at.

Open the photo in the gallery and click Delete. The photo disappears from the grid and a toast appears with an Undo action. Click undo and the photo comes back with its original caption, room group, and position in the order intact. Photos deleted from one entity do not affect any others — item photos and house photos are independent collections.

Unlike houses or items, deleted photos can't be restored later from the notification bell or the activity feed — the undo toast is the only window. See Activity & Restore for how restore works elsewhere in the app.

The thumbnail size menu in the action bar toggles between Compact, Comfortable, and Large. Compact packs more thumbnails on screen for visual scanning, large gives more room for detail review, and the choice persists per user.

Tap the Upload button on a phone and the system offers the camera alongside the photo library. See the mobile guide for the in-field walkthrough — capturing room photos on site, assigning them to the right room as you shoot, and what to expect when the network is patchy.

• Group house photos by room so a long gallery stays scannable and the right shots travel with the right space.
• Add photos to the items in your inventory so movers and stagers can spot the right piece at a glance.
• Bring existing photos in alongside spreadsheet data through the import wizard when you're standing up a new account.
