Photo documentation for Fieldwire users

LibreCam is free for unlimited field crew — offline-first capture, voice-to-text captions, GPS- and timestamp-locked photos a Fieldwire-licensed user attaches to tasks, punch items, and sheet pins. Fieldwire (Hilti) is jobsite task and plan management; its strength is pinning tasks and punch lists to blueprint coordinates, not standalone photo capture. LibreCam fills the capture-layer gap: a camera-first workflow that produces the evidence Fieldwire's blueprint engine pins in place.

How the workflow works

Field crew captures with LibreCam (free, unlimited users)

Crew opens LibreCam, selects the active Fieldwire project, and captures progress with GPS, timestamp, and voice-to-text captions. Camera-first — no navigating to a blueprint sheet first.

Build a structured photo set

Group by trade, sheet, or punch-list item. Annotate with shapes and arrows. Generate a structured PDF photo report or a public share link.

Attach to Fieldwire tasks and punch items

Export LibreCam photos to a shared cloud drive (Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive) or generate a share link, then attach to the matching Fieldwire task, punch item, or sheet pin. The Fieldwire-licensed superintendent or foreman handles pinning; subs and helpers don't need a Fieldwire seat to contribute photos.

Office sees the pinned record

Fieldwire's blueprint engine keeps the spatial context — every photo lives at the right coordinate on the right sheet. LibreCam supplies the capture speed and voice transcription; Fieldwire supplies the plan-anchored organization.

Why Fieldwire users add LibreCam

Free for subcontractors and seasonal crew

Fieldwire's Pro tier is $39/user/month on annual billing — adding subs and seasonal hires just for photo capture multiplies fast. LibreCam stays $0 at any team size, and the LibreCam-only contributors route into Fieldwire via the office team's existing seats.

Camera-first capture without sheet navigation

Fieldwire's photo UX requires drilling into a sheet or task before capturing. LibreCam opens to the camera — capture first, organize after. Faster for field crews who shoot 30-50 photos a day.

Voice-to-text on every photo

Dictate site conditions in real time — the transcript lands on the photo automatically. Fieldwire's task descriptions still get the spatial context; LibreCam adds the dictated detail.

Offline-first capture beyond the project cache

Fieldwire caches the active project's sheets offline for the office plan. LibreCam captures fully offline with GPS and timestamps locked at the shot, regardless of which Fieldwire project is currently cached on the device.

Client and homeowner share links

Fieldwire is built for the field-to-office loop, not for sending photos to homeowners or external clients. LibreCam's public share links fill that gap — no app install required for the viewer.

Where Fieldwire still wins on its own

Fieldwire's blueprint-anchored task management is why most users picked it — pinning tasks and punch items to specific coordinates on specific sheets, with revision tracking and trade assignees. LibreCam doesn't try to do any of that. The integration is purely about the capture layer underneath. If you're evaluating Fieldwire as a primary photo app instead of a task/plan manager, the comparison page is the better read.

About Fieldwire in 2026

Fieldwire is Hilti-owned, San Francisco-based jobsite task and plan management. Tiers: a free tier (5 users, 3 projects), Pro at $39/user/month, Business $64, Business Plus $89 on annual billing (fieldwire.com/pricing, May 2026); Business Plus adds 360-degree photo support. Top competitors: Procore, Autodesk Build, and PlanGrid (now Autodesk Build) — LibreCam works with all of them via the same export-and-attach pattern.

Frequently Asked Questions

Only on the narrow dimension of photo capture — and that's the layer LibreCam complements rather than replaces. Fieldwire's core value is blueprint-anchored task management, which LibreCam doesn't do. If you're using Fieldwire primarily for the plan-based task workflow, LibreCam sits underneath as the field-capture tool. If you're using Fieldwire primarily as a photo app, the comparison page is the better read.

Today the integration is export-and-attach: LibreCam compiles photos into an organized folder and public share link, and your Fieldwire-licensed foreman or superintendent attaches them onto the matching Fieldwire task, punch item, or sheet pin. A deeper automatic Fieldwire sync is on the roadmap. The export-and-attach path works on any Fieldwire plan that allows file attachments.

Yes. Subs use LibreCam free, capture photos on their own work, and route exports into your Fieldwire project via shared cloud drive or share link dropped into the relevant task. Your office team (who already has Fieldwire seats) handles the pinning and assignment.

No. LibreCam organizes photos by project, date, trade, voice-transcribed caption, and GPS coordinate — but does not pin to a specific point on an architectural drawing. Fieldwire's blueprint pinning stays inside Fieldwire; LibreCam handles the capture and the photos get pinned during the attach step.

Fieldwire Pro for 10 users is $390/month on annual billing. Adding CompanyCam at $79/mo (3-user min) + $29/each additional user is $282/mo for 10 users — total ~$672/month (fieldwire.com/pricing and companycam.com/pricing, May 2026). Fieldwire + LibreCam is just the Fieldwire subscription, because LibreCam is $0. Annual delta on the photo line alone is ~$3,384 for a 10-person crew.

Not yet. Fieldwire's 360-degree photo capture (on its Business tier) is unique among the tools we integrate with — if your project requires 360-photo coverage pinned to specific sheets, that workflow stays inside Fieldwire. LibreCam handles the standard photo and voice-captioned evidence layer.
