# Photos and videos

> Upload project photos for your directory profile, share job photos with a link, curate showcases, and check video jobs.

Photos in MyBuildX do two jobs: **project photos** on your directory profile, and **job photos** that belong to a job. Uploads live at https://mybuildx.com/photos/uploads. Videos live at https://mybuildx.com/videos (General Contractor and Subcontractor accounts).

## What you can do

- Upload project photos for your profile on **Uploads**.
- Ask **Ask BuildX** to save photos to a job, or to create a share link for a job's photos.
- Build a showcase of finished-work photos on **Jobs → Showcases**.
- Add your logo to downloaded job photos in **Settings → Business → Photo branding**.
- Check the status of video jobs on **Videos**.

## Upload project photos

1. On [Home](https://docs.buildx.pro/docs/dashboard/home.md), press **Upload project photos** in the **Get listed on CNM** checklist, or go to https://mybuildx.com/photos/uploads.
2. Drag photos onto **Drop photos here or browse**, or click it to pick files.
3. Use JPG, PNG or WebP files up to 40 MB each. HEIC isn't supported: convert iPhone photos to JPG first.
4. Each file shows its progress, then "Uploaded to the Gallery."

These photos appear on your [profile preview](https://docs.buildx.pro/docs/dashboard/directory-profile.md) and on your listing once it's published. You need to finish account setup before you can upload.

## Add photos to a job

The job pages don't have an upload button. In the **Ask BuildX** panel, attach photos (JPG, PNG or WebP) and say which job they're for, for example "Save these to the Oak St job." The assistant asks for approval before saving. Job photos show in the **Live feed** on Home and in the job map drawer.

## Share job photos with a link

Ask **Ask BuildX** to create a share link for a job ("Make a share link for the Oak St photos"). You can also ask it to turn a link off. A link can be a fixed set of chosen photos or the job's live photo timeline, and can have a password and an expiry date. The assistant shows an approval card before it creates the link, then gives you the link to send. The link (`mybuildx.com/s/...`) opens without a login and shows **Shared site photos**. If it has a password, the page asks for it first.

## Showcases

A showcase groups your best finished-work photos from a job. You build and publish showcases on **Jobs → Showcases**. See [Jobs](https://docs.buildx.pro/docs/dashboard/jobs.md#build-a-showcase).

## Photo branding

In **Settings → Business**, the **Photo branding** card puts your company logo in the corner of job photos when your team downloads them or a customer downloads them from a shared gallery. Photos in the app are never changed.

1. Press **Upload logo** (PNG, JPG or WebP, up to 5 MB; PNG with a clear background looks best).
2. Turn on the option to add the logo to downloaded photos. It's off by default.

## Videos

The **Videos** page lists video processing jobs on your account with their progress, asset count and status. It refreshes while a video is processing. Press **Detail** to open one. You can't start a new video from MyBuildX today, so for most accounts the page shows "No video jobs yet."

## Good to know

- The **Photos** gallery page (reorder and delete profile photos) isn't turned on for accounts right now. After uploading, check your photos on the [profile preview](https://docs.buildx.pro/docs/dashboard/directory-profile.md).
- Photo tags are managed on **Jobs → Photo Tags**. See [Jobs](https://docs.buildx.pro/docs/dashboard/jobs.md).
