Adding an image field captures visual evidence alongside a signature, reduces back-and-forth for supporting documentation, and centralizes files with the record to support identity verification and process audits.
An HR Manager places image fields on onboarding forms to collect employee IDs and licenses, reviews uploads for legibility, and relies on consistent retention settings to meet internal and regulatory recordkeeping requirements.
A Field Technician uses mobile capture to attach service photos to work orders, ensuring images are timestamped and stored with the signed job acceptance for later warranty or dispute resolution.
Industries and internal teams often rely on image fields to collect proof-of-identity, evidence of condition, or supplementary documents at signing.
These use cases reduce manual attachment workflows and help keep visual records tied to a single signed document for compliance and auditability.
Supports direct camera capture on mobile and file upload from desktop, enabling high convenience for signers across devices while preserving metadata such as timestamps and device type for the audit trail.
Configurable file-type and size checks prevent unsupported formats and limit storage use; optional image dimension and resolution checks improve legibility for IDs and receipts in regulated processes.
Optional auto-cropping or contrast adjustments improve readability for photographed documents without manual editing, which reduces signer friction and improves verification success rates.
Lock the image field after upload to prevent later modification and ensure the captured file remains part of the immutable signed record alongside signature metadata.

The add image field works across modern desktop browsers and native mobile apps, but exact capabilities vary by platform and browser permissions.
For consistent capture, recommend updating browsers and mobile apps, enabling camera permissions, and testing device-specific flows when deploying forms that require photographic evidence or ID uploads.
