Remodeling is stressful enough
without the photo chaos

When something is wrong on site, most homeowners do the same thing: take a photo, text it to someone, add a rushed explanation, and hope the other person understands where the issue is.

That works until the photos pile up. Suddenly you’re scrolling through dozens of images, trying to remember which room, which wall, which detail. Your contractor is guessing. And you’re wasting time explaining the same issue again.

ArchiePDF solves that. Tap the plan, camera opens, take the photo, add a note, send one clean PDF. Clear for you. Clear for everyone.

Keep every issue tied to
the exact place it belongs

No messy photo folders. No confusing screenshots. No long text chains trying to explain what should already be clear.

01 · Photo Pins
Tap. Camera. Done.

Tap where the issue is – the camera opens right there. Take the photo, add a note, done. No switching between apps, no sorting photos later. It’s pinned exactly where the problem is.

02 · Measure
Quick-check any dimension

Calibrate once, then measure anything – wall lengths, room areas, window openings. Is that room really 12×14? Now you know for sure.

03 · Mark It Up
Circle problems clearly

Red cloud around the crack, “Defect” stamp on the wall, note underneath. Every contractor instantly sees what you mean – no back-and-forth.

06 · Your Privacy
Your plans never leave your device

No account required, no cloud, no tracking. Your floor plans and construction site photos stay on your phone or computer. Period.

Built for homeowners,
not bloated software.

Most construction tools are made for large teams, complicated workflows, and expensive subscriptions. You don’t need enterprise software – you need clarity.

“I was standing in our half-finished kitchen, phone full of photos, and thought: why isn’t there a tool where I can just tap on my floor plan and pin a photo? So I built one.”

Questions people ask
before they try it

Do I need to download an app from the App Store?
+
No. ArchiePDF runs right in your browser – on iPhone, Android, tablet, or computer. You can optionally install it to your home screen (like a real app, but without the App Store). Just open the page and start working.
Does it work without internet?
+
Yes. Once you install ArchiePDF as an app, it works completely offline – perfect for basements, crawl spaces, and rural construction sites with no signal. Your work saves automatically.
Are my floor plans uploaded anywhere?
+
Never. Everything stays on your device. There is no server, no cloud, no tracking. Your plans and photos never leave your phone or computer. This matters to us.
How accurate are the measurements?
+
As accurate as your plan. After calibrating against a known dimension, measurements are as precise as the original floor plan. More than sufficient for homeowner needs like checking room sizes, planning furniture, and documenting defects.
What happens to my work when I close the browser?
+
ArchiePDF auto-saves in the background. When you open the same PDF again, it asks: “Restore last session?” – all your markups, measurements, and photos come right back.
Can I send the exported PDF to my contractor?
+
That’s exactly what it’s made for. The exported PDF includes your marked-up plan plus every photo on its own full-size page. Email it, text it, AirDrop it – your contractor sees exactly what you mean.
Is ArchiePDF really free?
+
The basic version is free forever – with up to 3 photo pins and 2 measurements per plan. For unlimited use, the Homeowner plan is $24.99/year. No hidden fees, cancel anytime.
I currently use photos and text documents to document – isn’t that enough?
+
Sure, that works. But after 50 photos, nobody remembers which wall that was. ArchiePDF solves exactly this problem: every photo is pinned to its exact location on your floor plan, with a note and date. One PDF to your contractor – they see exactly what’s where. No more back-and-forth explaining.
Get Started

One clear PDF is better than
a hundred confusing photos.
