## What is Baftr?

Capture repeatable before-and-after photos in the field. Baftr helps you return to the original location, match the framing, track unfinished photo sets, and export clear comparisons.
Built for contractors, land managers, trail crews, conservation teams, inspectors, and anyone who needs consistent visual documentation over time.

WHAT BAFTR HELPS YOU DO

• Capture before photos with location, compass heading, and date information
• Return to the original photo location using distance and direction guidance
• Overlay the original image while capturing an after photo
• Adjust overlay opacity or use an edge overlay for precise alignment
• See which photo sets still need an after photo
• Add multiple after photos to document changes over time
• Sort photo sets by date or distance from your current location
• Organize photo sets into folders by project, site, or client
• Export polished before-and-after comparison images
• Customize export size, quality, spacing, and optional date labels
• Share complete or partial Baftr photo sets and folders for backup or collaboration
• Import shared photo sets from backup or other users
• Continue working without cell service

BUILT FOR REPEATABLE FIELD PHOTOGRAPHY

GPS can help you return to the general location, but it cannot recreate the original framing—and ordinary photo libraries do not show which locations still need an after photo.
Baftr keeps the original photo, location, and heading together. When it is time for the follow-up, Baftr guides you back, displays the original over the camera view, and helps you line up a consistent shot.

COMMON USES

• Trail maintenance documentation and reporting
• Conservation, restoration, and photo-point monitoring
• Construction, landscaping, and remodeling documentation
• Site inspections and field observations
• Volunteer and nonprofit project reporting
• Home and property projects tracked over time

Your photo library is stored on your device. Export comparison images for presentations and reports, or create complete Baftr packages for backup and sharing.

## Key features

This accomplishes everything I need in this sort of app. I use it for field conservation work. Great for showing progress on trail construction. Clean, functional app with enough features to achieve what I need.
