      Create & Share Photo Reports

      • PDF Report: The PDF report will display your company branding, image descriptions, and interactive photos.
        • All photos in the PDF are interactive; clicking a photo loads a larger version in a browser. This feature is particularly useful for 360-degree photos, which are also interactive.
        • A QR code is included in the PDF, allowing users to access a digital version of the photo gallery from a printed report.

      • Web Gallery: Create a shareable web gallery by giving it a title (like "Job Site Images") and selecting the metadata you want to include. Tap "Generate" to create a URL link to easily share with others.
