Photos

Add photos to tasks, tag them Before, Progress or After, link an After to its Before, and see how location data is removed.

Les articles d’aide sont pour l’instant en anglais. Le reste de RenovU est dans votre langue.

Photos keep a record of the work, task by task. You add them on a task's page, tag each one with a stage, and browse the whole project's photos on its Photos tab.

The main ideas#

  • Photos belong to tasks. You add them from a task's Photos tab. A photo shows under its task's room when you filter by room.
  • Every photo has a stage: Before, Progress or After. A task's first photos start as Before; later ones as Progress.
  • An After can be linked to a Before on the same task, so you can show the change. Linked pairs appear on the project's timeline and in the PDF report.
  • Location and camera details are removed from every photo before it's stored, and the file you uploaded isn't kept. See What happens to location data in my photos.

Where to find it#

Open a project and select the Photos tab to see every photo in it. Each task's page has its own Photos tab, where you add them.

Photos are on every plan, including Free. Owners, Admins and Contributors can add photos to any task. Assigned-only members add them to their own tasks. Viewers can look but not add.

What each plan includes#

  • Free: 100 MB of photo storage, photos up to 5 MB each, and 3 photos per task.
  • Premium: 5 GB of storage, photos up to 15 MB each, and 30 photos per task.
  • Professional: 25 GB of storage, photos up to 15 MB each, and 30 photos per task.

These are the current defaults. See Pricing for the up-to-date list. The limits follow the project owner's plan, and storage counts every photo and receipt in all of the owner's projects, whoever uploaded them.

Questions

Does RenovU remove the location from my photos?

Yes. GPS location, camera details and the time taken are removed from every photo before it's stored, and the file you uploaded isn't kept. See What happens to location data in my photos.

Why can't I add more photos to a task?

The task has as many photos as the project owner's plan allows: 3 on Free and 30 on Premium and Professional by default. Delete a photo, add it to another task, or upgrade. See Check your photo storage.

Can I upload photos from my iPhone?

Yes. HEIC photos are accepted, as are JPEG, PNG and WebP. HEIC photos are converted when they're processed, and the original file isn't kept.

Can I add a photo to a room rather than a task?

No. Photos are added to tasks. Filtering the Photos tab by room shows the photos on that room's tasks.

Why does my photo say Processing?

After it uploads, each photo is cleaned of location details and resized. This usually takes a few seconds, and the photo appears on its own when it's done. If it can't be processed, it says so: remove it and try another file.

What happens to my photos if I move to a smaller plan?

Nothing is deleted and every photo stays viewable. If your photos use more storage than the new plan includes, uploads pause until you're under the limit.

Do photos I add to someone else's project use my storage?

No. Storage belongs to the project's owner and follows their plan, whoever uploads the photos.
