SimplySub makes it easy to mark up jobsite photos so your team can clearly point out problems, instructions, completed work, or anything else that needs attention.
Image annotation works on desktop, tablet, and mobile devices, making it practical for both office staff and crews working in the field.

Make jobsite photos easier to understand
A photo can show what happened, but sometimes you still need to explain exactly where someone should look. Annotation tools let you circle an issue, point to a specific component, highlight an area, or add written instructions directly to the image.
This can be useful for documenting deficiencies, communicating field instructions, identifying work areas, explaining punch list items, or simply making sure everyone understands what a photo is showing.
Keep the original photo intact
When you save your changes, SimplySub creates a separate annotated copy rather than replacing the original image. The annotated version becomes part of the standard image library for that record.
Use annotated photos throughout SimplySub
Once saved, annotated images can appear in photo reports, daily logs, and other areas where your uploaded images are used. They can also be shared with customers, giving subcontractors a simple way to add context to jobsite documentation without needing a separate photo editing tool.
