Photo documentation app with a searchable photo library
With kontekst lens, you capture photos on site, assign them to rooms and floors, or pin them to a plan. Later, you can find exactly what you need by location, date, author, or tag instead of digging through folders.
Photo documentation you can still use later
kontekst lens does more than store photos. It connects every image to rooms, floors, and projects, turning a pile of pictures into a photo library you can actually search and use.
Linked to building structure
Photos are attached to rooms, areas, and floors — not just filenames or folders.
Add a plan location when needed
Mark locations directly on the plan without making the plan your only way to stay organized.
Easy to find later
The structure is preserved, making images easy to find even months later.
Everything you need for photo documentation on site
Rooms and floors
Assign photos directly to the building structure so they are in the right place.
Plan location
Mark images exactly where they were taken. Simple, visual, and without lengthy location descriptions.
Search and filter
Find images by room, floor, time period, author, or tags in seconds.
Metadata and tags
Time, author, and additional information are captured automatically, making documentation cleanly filterable.
Offline sync
Capture photos without network and sync automatically with your team later.
Shared across the team
Everyone works from the same photo library instead of personal phones and scattered folders.
One-click PDF photo reports
Generate PDF reports with images, tags, notes, and GPS metadata in seconds, without any manual rework.
Why you actually find photos here
You find photos here because the structure does the work, not because the gallery looks nice.
The room is part of the photo
Each image belongs to the right room or area instead of ending up in scattered folders.
Plan and structure work together
Visual workers use the plan. Systematic searchers use room and filter logic.
Search instead of sorting
Instead of renaming files or maintaining folders, filter directly for what you need.
Everything in one place, right when you need it
kontekst lens uploads new captures automatically. In the cloud, everyone sees the latest images in one structured, searchable view that is ready to share or export.
