Estimates

Upload and tag photos

Attach photos with the paperclip in chat or add them on the Photos tab. Photos are tagged by room and can be included in the exported PDF.

Last updated

Photos live on the estimate's Photos tab, tagged by room, and can be included in the exported PDF. Two ways to get them in.

Attach from chat

Click the paperclip in the chat panel and pick your photos. They land on the Photos tab, tagged to rooms, without interrupting the conversation. This is the natural path when you're already chatting through the loss.

Add from the Photos tab

Open the Photos tab in the estimate workspace and add photos there. Same destination, same room tagging; just a different door.

Tagged by room

Photos are organized by the room they belong to, which is also how they're grouped and captioned on the PDF. On multi-unit estimates, photo captions carry the unit as well as the room, so "Kitchen (Unit 2B)" photos stay distinct from "Kitchen (Unit 3A)" photos. See Multi-unit estimates.

Photos on the PDF

The exported document can include your photos; there's an include-photos toggle when you export, and the Full Document type carries cover page, estimate, and photos together. See Customize reports.

Wave does not analyze photos

Photos are documentation for your estimate and PDF. Wave does not read or analyze photo contents, and photos never change your scope or pricing. Document analysis (PDFs, floor plans) isn't supported yet either.

Say what you see in chat instead; that's what drives the estimate.

Downloading photos back out

Need the photo set separate from the PDF, for a carrier upload portal or a file request? See Download photos.
