For incidents and damage
Record the scene before anything moves
PicAnchor is a free camera app that stamps the time onto a photo at the moment you take it, and the GPS location and street address too when the phone is online. After a collision or damage, take the photos first: the stamp records when, and where if you are online, and the photo gets a code anyone can check.

Take the whole scene first, then the damage. Each photo is stamped when you press the shutter.

Send them on from the app. Each keeps its stamp and its code.
FAQ
Incident and damage questions
Do I need an account?
No. The camera works on your own with no account and no sign-in.
Is it free?
Yes. The camera, stamps and PDF reports are free for individuals.
Does a checked photo prove what happened?
No. A check shows that the photo file is unchanged since it was registered, and when. It does not show what happened or who was at fault. PicAnchor does not judge what a photo shows.
Can the other party check my photo?
Yes, with the photo's code at verify.picanchor.com (opens in a new tab). To compare the file itself they need the original, sent as a document or file attachment rather than as a photo, because chat apps recompress images.
Does it work without signal?
The camera works without signal. A photo taken offline carries the time but no GPS location or address, which need a connection. Photos are registered once the phone is back online.
Can I use it for company vehicles?
Yes. A team can use one stamp format on every phone, with each driver's name on their photos.
