Open a plan. Mark the issue. Share a clear report.
Toccobird brings PDF drawings and images to iPhone and iPad for construction, architecture, renovation and site inspections. Keep markups, measurements, issue statuses and photos together. No Toccobird account is required.
IMPORT FROM FILES OR OVER WI-FI
Import PDFs, JPEGs, PNGs and editable .tdm drawing packages. On the same Wi-Fi network, open the upload address in another device's browser and send files to the app. Keep Toccobird open on the receiving screen during upload.
ORGANIZE DRAWING GROUPS
Create and rename groups, move drawings between them, and choose a destination when importing. Browse all drawings, ungrouped files or one group. Separate Import, Workspace and Export / Backup tabs keep everyday actions easy to find.
MARK UP PLANS
Add pen strokes, arrows, text, clouds, highlights, lines, shapes and callouts. Adjust styles, reuse a tool, copy marks and undo or redo changes. Hide individual markups to clear the canvas or lock them against accidental edits. Hidden markups remain in the list and are included in exports.
MEASURE TO SCALE
Set a scale, recognize scale labels or calibrate against a known length. Measure lengths, polylines and areas, and record site measurements. Use mm, cm, m, inches or feet, with areas in m² or ft². Changing units converts labels and exports while preserving physical dimensions and calibration. Scans, images and ambiguous scales require confirmation.
SNAP TO DRAWING DETAILS
In PDFs with usable vector lines, snap to intersections, endpoints and lines. Orthogonal guides help align marks horizontally or vertically. Scanned images have no vector snap targets.
LINK PHOTOS TO ISSUES
Keep numbered issues, notes, authors, statuses and history with drawing locations. Attach camera or library photos with captions. Filter the issue list and tap to locate a mark. Search existing PDF text, annotation notes and photo captions.
USE APPLE PENCIL
Draw, select, adjust endpoints and erase whole annotations on iPad. Choose Pencil for drawing and fingers for navigation. Compatible double-tap and squeeze actions follow system preferences. The workspace adapts to orientation and window width.
SHARE REPORTS AND EDITABLE FILES
Export annotated PDFs, basic editable annotations, flattened PDFs, PNG, CSV or originals. Issue reports combine drawing locations, notes and photos, with page links and automatic pagination for long notes.
Editable PDFs preserve Visible and Hidden annotation layers. Both layers are visible when the exported file opens; compatible PDF readers can toggle them. PDF reader support varies.
Share a complete .tdm package with annotations, photos, scales and drawing groups. Import it into Toccobird to continue editing an independent copy. Copies do not sync automatically. Back up a group or the whole library; older .toccobirdbackup files remain supported.
KEEP YOUR DRAWINGS LOCAL
Use imported drawings offline. Manage drawing numbers, tags and favorites; insert, merge, rotate, reorder, delete or extract pages. Restore trashed drawings and explore the bundled vector sample. Choose where to share and back up files; backups are not separately encrypted.
English and Simplified Chinese interfaces preserve your original drawing and note content.
An in-app purchase is required for importing, annotating, measuring and editing. Existing work remains viewable, searchable, exportable and available for backup and restore.
Measurements support documentation and communication. Verify important dimensions and drawing scales before construction or installation. Optional LiDAR capture requires compatible hardware.
