What formats can I export a photo report in?

Exporting a photo report means creating a ready-made file that can be used outside the system — for delivery, storage, or printing. Available export formats:

DOCX (Word document)

The most versatile format for working with clients and internal documentation. Advantages:
  • convenient for editing after export;
  • suitable for official reports;
  • easily opens on any device;
  • supports document structure (headings, blocks, captions).
You can download it to your device (computer or mobile phone) or send it to the user's email.

Archive with photos and data

Available from the INSPECTOR mobile app. The archive is sent to the user's email if access to original materials is required. What it includes:
  • images in optimal resolution and quality for storage;
  • report structure by page in table form;
  • shooting context if the coordinate saving function was enabled when shooting with the INSPECTOR mobile app;
  • photo numbers;
  • text comments.
Suitable for:
  • archiving;
  • integration into other systems;
  • additional data processing.

Common Mistakes When Exporting Photo Reports

To avoid problems when using the document, it is important to consider typical mistakes.

Disrupted structure

If photos are placed randomly, the document becomes difficult to understand.

Missing captions

Without comments, photos lose context and value.

Inappropriate format

For example:
  • DOCX is needed for editing;
  • archive — for transferring raw data.

Overloaded pages

Too many images reduce readability.

How to Speed Up Export Preparation

To minimize the time to create the final document:

  • use ready-made templates;
  • sort photos in advance;
  • add captions immediately upon upload;
  • check the structure as you work, not at the end.
This allows you to export the photo report with virtually no rework.
