Capturing exhibits with your phone camera
What this solves: Getting a physical document into ExhibitPro without a scanner.
Quick answer: Click Use phone camera at the bottom of Select Files, scan the QR code with your phone, and snap photos — they land in your Selected Files automatically.
Steps:
- On the ExhibitPro dashboard, click Use phone camera.
- Scan the pairing QR code with your phone camera and open the link.
- Take a photo of each document. Photos appear in Selected Files automatically — no refresh.
- When you’re done shooting, come back to the desktop and Generate as usual.
What to know
- Plan availability: included on both Solo and Firm.
- Any network works — cellular, different Wi-Fi, hotspot — the phone doesn’t need to be on the same Wi-Fi.
- Pairing lifespan: the QR code has a 15-minute idle timeout (it slides forward while you’re actively pairing; there’s no hard session cap).
- Security: treat the QR / pairing link like a temporary write-only upload key — don’t share it or screenshot it publicly. Anyone with the link can add photos to your session until it expires.
- Photos arrive as JPG/PNG in Selected Files.
Photo quality: see Photo tips for clean mobile captures.
