# Appointment Photos & Markup

Add before-and-after photos to an appointment and mark them up with arrows, circles, text and numbered markers.

Attach photos to an appointment, such as before-and-after shots or treatment areas, and draw on them to record what was done.

## Add photos

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Open the appointment

Open the appointment and choose **Add Photos**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Add your images

Drag photos onto the upload area, or tap it to choose from your device or take a picture. You'll see a thumbnail of each photo before you upload.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Upload

Confirm the upload. The photos appear on the appointment and in the client's profile.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

| Limit             | Value                        |
| ----------------- | ---------------------------- |
| Photos per upload | Up to 8                      |
| Size per photo    | Up to 10 MB                  |
| Formats           | JPG, PNG, GIF, WEBP and HEIC |

{% hint style="success" %}
Photos from newer iPhones and iPads (HEIC) are converted to JPG automatically. You don't need to change your camera settings.
{% endhint %}

## Mark up a photo

Open a photo and use the markup tools:

| Tool                | Use it to                         |
| ------------------- | --------------------------------- |
| **Pen**             | Draw freehand.                    |
| **Text**            | Add a label.                      |
| **Arrow**           | Point to an area.                 |
| **Circle**          | Circle an area.                   |
| **Numbered marker** | Number treatment points in order. |
| **Eraser**          | Remove part of your markup.       |

Choose a color and size for each tool. Use **Undo** to step back or **Clear** to start again, then save. Your markup is saved together with the photo.

When viewing a photo, use the markup switch to show or hide your drawings. To delete a photo, click delete and confirm.

## Troubleshooting uploads

If a photo won't upload from an iPhone or iPad, a message now explains why instead of the window closing. If problems continue, on the device go to **Settings → Camera → Formats** and choose **Most Compatible**.
