Quick one-photo capture

Capture one item at a time for later review.

Where to start

Android: Home + Scan or add a Thing 📷 Quick one-photo capture

You can also tap Quick one-photo capture here in a Site or Area.

Take a photo of one item

  1. Choose a Site and, if you use them, an Area.
  2. Choose a Photo shape. Do this before you take the photo. See below.
  3. Point the camera at the item so it fits inside the frame. The visible frame is what gets saved.
  4. Take the photo and check it. Tap Retake if you want another go.
  5. Save the photo:
  • Save & add another: saves this photo and gets the camera ready for the next item.
  • Save & done: saves this photo and finishes.

What happens next: Each photo is saved as a draft in the Review queue, where you add its name and details. See Review your captures.

Choose a photo shape

  • Standard (4:3): the usual photo shape, good for most items.
  • Square (1:1): a square photo.
  • Wide (16:9): a wide frame, good for flat, wide items such as board games.
  • Thin (16:4): a very narrow frame, good for slim items such as books and DVDs.

Good to know: The saved photo keeps the shape you chose and is never stretched.

More options
