Does the report include GPS coordinates for each photo?

Yes. Every photo in a Vortyk report carries its caption, GPS coordinates, date and time, and location, pulled from the image metadata when it was uploaded. You do not enter any of it by hand.

Can clients view the report without creating an account?

Yes. A share link opens in any browser behind the password you set. Clients can view photos, browse the project map, and download the PDF report. They cannot edit anything, and the link expires on the date you choose.

What photo formats can I upload?

JPEG, PNG, HEIC, and WebP, at up to 20 MB per file. HEIC matters for iPhone users, since it is the default capture format on modern iOS devices.

Photo Documentation for Home Inspectors

Every photo carries proof of where and when it was taken, and the report writes itself from there.

What is home inspection photo documentation software?

Home inspection photo documentation software captures geotagged photos during an inspection and turns them into a client-ready report. Vortyk reads GPS coordinates, timestamp, and camera bearing from each photo as it uploads, so every image carries proof of where and when it was taken with no manual entry. Photos group into projects and surveys by property and visit date, and each one takes a caption of up to 150 characters. Six markup tools let you draw arrows, boxes, and notes directly on an image to point at the defect rather than describe its location in prose. A finished photo log exports as a PDF at one or two photos per page with your name, company, and email on every page. Clients open it through a password protected link with an expiration date, browse the photos on a map, and download the report without installing an app or creating an account.

What makes this hard today?

The camera roll is not a filing system

Two hundred photos from a full inspection arrive as unnamed JPEGs in date order, mixed in with everything else on the phone. Sorting them into rooms and systems after the fact is slower than the inspection was.

Reports take longer than the inspection

Dropping images into a Word template, resizing them, writing captions, and exporting a PDF is an evening of work per property. It is the part of the job that does not scale.

A photo without metadata proves less than you think

When a finding is disputed months later, a photo with no location and no timestamp is hard to stand behind. Screenshots and re-saved images strip the EXIF data that would have answered the question.

How does the workflow actually run?

Shoot on the phone you already carry
No special hardware and no separate capture app. Photos taken on an iPhone or iPad keep their EXIF data, and Vortyk reads it on upload.
Upload the whole visit at once
Drag in the full set. Batch upload handles dozens of images with progress tracking, and each one is checked for missing location or caption data.
Caption and mark up what matters
Add context to each photo and draw on the ones that need it. Markups save automatically and appear on the photos in the finished report.
Generate and share the photo log
One click produces the PDF. A share link with a password and an expiration date sends it to the client, who needs no account to open it.
