Browsing Your Gallery
Navigate large photo sets with infinite scroll, automatic thumbnails, and multiple size variants for fast loading.

Infinite scroll
The gallery uses infinite scroll instead of page numbers. As you scroll down, more photos load automatically. No clicking through pages, no waiting for reloads. Just smooth, continuous browsing.
This works well for large surveys. You can scan through 200 photos in a single scrolling motion without losing your place.
Automatic thumbnails
When you upload a photo, Vortyk generates three size variants:
| Variant | Use |
|---|---|
| Thumbnail | Gallery grid view. Fast loading, low bandwidth |
| Medium | Preview and quick review |
| Full-size | Detailed inspection, markup editing, report output |
The gallery grid displays thumbnails by default. This keeps the page fast even with hundreds of photos. When you click a photo, it loads the full-size version with all metadata.
Photo detail view
Click any photo in the gallery to open the detail view. Here you can see:
- Full-size image at original resolution
- GPS coordinates (latitude, longitude)
- Camera bearing (if available)
- Capture date and time
- Image dimensions
- Caption (editable)
- Validation status (whether GPS and caption are present)
From the detail view, you can also navigate to the markup editor to annotate the photo.
Navigating the gallery
- Scroll to browse photos in the grid
- Click any thumbnail to open the full detail view
- Use arrow keys or navigation controls to move between photos in detail view
- Return to grid by closing the detail view
Tips
- Upload in logical order. Photos appear in the gallery in upload order. If sequence matters for your report, upload photos in the order you want them to appear.
- Use captions for context. When scanning a large gallery, captions under thumbnails help you find specific photos without opening each one.
- Check validation flags. Flagged photos are marked in the gallery so you can spot incomplete documentation quickly.
