Click "Select files" to browse and choose images from your device
Or simply drag and drop your images directly into the highlighted area
Once finished, click Upload
Note: In the image selection pop-up, you can assign an image category, which functions as a virtual folder or tag. This makes it easier to filter and retrieve your images quickly. See below for instructions on creating categories.

Images related to defects are saved in the Defects category.

IMPORTANT:
The maximum file size for uploads is 10MB.
There is no limit to the number of photos you can upload.
The date shown on the photo reflects when it was uploaded in Acuite, not when it was taken. If you want to record the date the photo was taken, you can include it in the description. Alternatively, organizing progress photos in folders with date names (e.g., Building A - LVL 1 - Sept 2024) can be helpful.
These images can also be included in the Overview Report. You can add one to the cover page and insert a page of images, such as progress photos, at the end of the report.
