# How to add pictures to my form?
## Picture fields let operators capture or upload images directly from a form — useful for photo evidence on quality checks, damage reports, or anything else worth a picture.
#### **Step 1 — Add a picture field**
In your form, drag in or click the picture icon from the left-hand toolbox.
#### **Step 2 — Enter the Unique Field Name**
As with other field types, give the field a **Unique Field Name**, and optionally a **Form Field Label** and **Help Text**.
****
#### **Step 3 — Configure the picture-specific options**
- **Required # of pictures** — the minimum number of images the operator must upload before the form can be submitted.
- **Minimum storage duration** — the minimum time uploaded pictures are kept. Pictures are **not** automatically deleted once this period passes — deleting them is entirely at your discretion.
- **Close on capture** — whether the camera closes automatically after a picture is taken, or stays open for another shot.
- **Camera-only upload** —
- If *Camera Only Upload* is **on**, operators must take a picture with the device camera
- - If *Camera Only Upload* is **off**, the user can select and upload from the devicefile system in addition to the camera button.
#### **What the operator sees**
Camera behaviour differs slightly by device:
- With **Close on capture** **on**: on a laptop or PC, the camera stream appears directly in the form; on mobile, the camera opens as normal and closes automatically once the operator takes and confirms a picture. Exactly what counts as "confirming" a picture varies by device.
- With **Close on capture** **off**: the camera screen stays open after the picture is taken, with a **Close Camera** button to dismiss it manually.
Once pictures are captured or selected, they appear in the form. Operators can remove an unwanted picture with its **x** button, or click a picture to open it full-size in a new tab.
**Nothing is saved until the form is submitted.** Uploaded pictures only persist once the operator submits the form to a workstate.
