Adding photos in Blippit Boards (2026 app ver. 3+)
January 1, 2026
Photos help bring a moment to life in Blippit Boards. You can add, remove, and reorder photos on a board at any time.
You can:
add photos from your device photo library, or
use your camera in the app to capture a moment in real time
You can add up to 25 images to one board. However, the most effective boards use well-selected photos, not large batches of similar images.
How to add photos to a board
Tap the + New board icon
Add your basic details
Swipe to the Media tab
Choose:
Camera to take a new photo, or
Library to select existing photos
Select up to 25 images at a time
Confirm and return to the board
The first time you do this, your device will ask permission for Blippit Boards to access photos - choose Allow access to all photos so adding is quick next time.
On the web version of the app you’ll see a Choose button instead of a photo library picker.
Minimum requirements to publish a board
To publish a board, you’ll need:
a title
at least one photo or media item
a short description
a minimum of three tags
When you’re finished, tap the tick icon in the top-right corner to save.
Top tips for strong photo evidence
choose fewer, clearer photos rather than lots of similar ones
include examples that show process as well as outcome
add a short description so the moment makes sense to others
think about privacy when photographing displays or pupils
remove duplicate or blurry images - streamlined boards are easier to use
Using photos alongside video and other media
You can combine photos with other media on the same board:
up to 3 videos (1 minute each)
short audio clips
photos of work, environments, or displays
If you have longer videos, consider splitting them into three short one-minute sections.
You can also:
save PowerPoint slides as images and upload key slides
add links in the description to documents, websites or resources for colleagues
Less is more
Reports and in-app views are clearer and more powerful when:
photos are purposefully chosen
media supports the core story of the moment
repetition is avoided
A small number of strong images almost always tells the story best.
