# How to add photo as attribute for collect mobile in the survey designer

Asked by LKwh on 2016-09-09

In our survey the surveyors have to take a photo at a sample point. How can I include the photo in the survey design as an attribute? In your demo survey there is this function, but I didn’t find the option in the survey designer.

Hello,

This is quite simple. You just need to add an attribute of type **file** to your survey.

I know it is not obvious at first so we are working on a better naming for both pictures and the coming audio-recording file types, until then just use File and there you can even set rules about file extensions and sizes.
