Create your first project

A project in PhotoReport groups everything related to a job site or inspection: plans, annotations, photos, videos and audio comments.

  1. Open the PhotoReport app. You land on the home screen, which shows your list of projects (empty for now).

  2. Tap the New Project button (the blue button with a +).

  3. Enter the project name — this is the only required field. Choose a clear name, for example the site name or address.

  4. Optionally, add notes (visit date, lot number, remarks…) and a cover photo to identify the project at a glance.

  5. Tap Create Project. Your project is ready.

You’re now inside your project. Here’s what you can do:

Add a PDF or image as a reference. You can then place markers directly on the plan to locate each observation. See Import a plan for details.

Annotations are numbered markers that you place on a plan. Each annotation can contain photos, videos and audio comments. See Annotations to learn more.

From an annotation, tap the camera button to take a photo or video directly from the app. The photo is automatically linked to the annotation and located on the plan.

You can also document findings that are not tied to a specific plan. General observations are accessible from the project menu.

When your documentation is complete, you can generate a report from the project:

  • PDF — A formatted document ready to send by email.
  • HTML — A web page viewable in any browser.
  • ZIP — An archive containing the report and all associated files.
  • Create an account to sync your data and unlock additional features.
  • Or continue exploring the iOS app to discover each feature in detail.
