Construction photography has the opposite problem to portfolio photography. Nobody is grading it for beauty, so it gets shot fast, in bad light, on a phone, at whatever resolution the camera defaults to. But every one of those files is evidence: a photo of a wall cavity before drywall closes, a footing pour date, a punch-list item at handover. Which means the two things people do to make files smaller — downscale hard and strip metadata — are exactly the two things that destroy its usefulness in a dispute six months later. The constraint that actually bites is upload reliability, not storage. Procore itself says file sizes over 5MB may time out on upload and tells you to resize in an image editor, and Jobber caps email attachments at 10MB across all files while allowing 500MB per file in notes. A crew on site wifi uploading forty photos at 6MB each hits those walls constantly. The fix is boring: resize to a sane long edge, compress on a setting that still reads detail in drywall and conduit, keep the timestamp and GPS when they matter, and batch the whole set so it is one operation instead of forty. Skwish does that in the browser for JPG, PNG and WebP with a per-file before/after readout and a ZIP download, and it strips EXIF only when you choose to.
