Photos
Upload, caption, reorder, and group item and house photos by room. On mobile, the same Photos tab opens the camera directly so you can capture a room as you walk through it, with each shot landing in the room you scoped it to.
Overview
Photos live on the entities that actually need a visual record: items, houses, and themed room templates. Each photo can have a caption, can be reordered, and on a house can be grouped by room so a 200-photo gallery stays legible.
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.
Capturing photos on site
The Upload button on mobile opens the system sheet, which exposes both the camera and the photo library. Capturing straight from the camera is the fastest path when you're already in the room.
Open the room you're standing in
From the house detail page, tap Photos and scroll to the room section you're capturing — for example, Living Room. Each room has its own Upload button, so the shots you take land in that room without an extra step.Tap Upload and pick the camera
Tap Upload. The phone's file-picker sheet offers Camera alongside the photo library. Choose Camera, frame the shot, and confirm. The photo runs through the same encoding pipeline as a desktop upload — orientation is read from the image and the file is downscaled before it leaves the phone.Repeat for the rest of the room
Most platforms return to the page after one capture; tap Upload again for the next shot. To take a batch in one go, switch to the photo library after capturing them in the camera app and select the group from there.
Reviewing and captioning
On mobile, tapping a thumbnail opens the gallery directly — there's no separate Gallery button taking up space in the action bar.
Tap any photo to open it full-screen. Swipe or tap the arrows to step between shots. The thumbnail strip at the bottom mirrors the desktop gallery and is sized for thumb taps. Use the Edit button on the right to add a caption — handy for tagging the angle (for example, looking toward the fireplace) before you forget which corner you were standing in.
Regrouping photos is a desktop job
Catch the wrong room when you uploaded? Moving a photo to a different room means dragging its thumbnail between sections, which is a job for a laptop.
On the phone, stick to reviewing and captioning — the gallery's Edit button only changes the caption, and there's no move control on the mobile Photos tab. When you're back at the office, open the same Photos tab on a laptop and drag the misfiled thumbnails into the right room sections. Better yet, prevent the problem: tap the Upload button under the right room's heading before you shoot.
When the network is patchy
Each photo uploads as it's captured, so a flaky signal at the property surfaces immediately rather than days later.
If an upload fails, the progress message reports the error and the photo is dropped from the batch — no half-uploaded photos in the gallery. Re-tap Upload and pick the same shot from your camera roll once you have signal. There's no offline queue: photos that didn't make it the first time need to be retried.
What's next
Once your photos are uploaded and grouped, these are the natural next steps:
- 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.
