Key Features of Photos in Pixly
1. Automatic Metadata Tagging
Every photo uploaded or captured in Pixly is automatically enriched with essential metadata, including:
Time Stamps
The exact time the photo was taken or uploaded.
Date Stamps:
For chronological tracking of project progress.
Location Data:
GPS tagging ensures each photo is linked to a precise location, making it easy to associate with specific job sites or tasks.
This automation reduces manual data entry and ensures consistent, reliable documentation.
2. AI-Driven Recognition and Tagging
(Coming Soon) Pixly is implementing advanced AI technology to analyze and tag photos automatically. This feature will:
Recognize objects, materials, and contexts within images (e.g., equipment, safety hazards, or building materials).
Apply smart tags for easy searching and categorization.
Help teams identify trends and issues without manual review.
3. Albums for Organization
Photos can be grouped into Albums within a Project. Albums allow you to categorize photos by specific tasks, phases, or contexts, such as:
Site inspections
Safety audits
Before-and-after comparisons
Daily progress updates
Each Album acts as a focused collection, simplifying access and navigation.
Albums can be public to everyone on the project or private by invite only.

Pixly offers powerful search tools to help you quickly locate the exact photo you need:
Tag-Based Search
Use tags like “excavator,” “foundation,” or “roofing” to filter results.

AI-Enhanced Queries
(Coming Soon) Find photos based on content within the image, like identifying photos with specific materials or conditions.
