# How do I import pins?
## The ways to bring pins into a project in bulk
You can add pins to a project one at a time, or bring many in at once. There are two ways to import pins in bulk, and both let you decide what the pins should be before anything is created. Note that importing can only be done on the web admin (app.sitemarker.com).
#### Choose how to import
- **From a spreadsheet or survey file:** upload a CSV of latitude and longitude, or a PNEZD export from AutoCAD. Every row becomes a pin, placed from the coordinates in the file. Best for survey points, stake-out locations and anything a surveyor hands you. See [How do I import pins from a spreadsheet (CSV or PNEZD)?](https://knowledge.sitemarker.com/how-do-i-import-pins-from-a-spreadsheet-csv-or-pnezd?hsLang=en)
- **From geotagged photos:** upload photos taken with location turned on. Each photo becomes a pin at the spot it was taken, with the photo attached. Best for site walks where the photos came first. See [How do I import pins via images?](https://knowledge.sitemarker.com/how-do-i-import-pins-via-images?hsLang=en)
#### Set up the pins before importing
Whichever way you import, click **Pin settings** above the preview map to set the pin type, status, category, fields and worklog note, for the whole import or pin by pin. See [How do I customize imported pins?](https://knowledge.sitemarker.com/how-do-i-customize-imported-pins?hsLang=en)
#### Where to start
1. Open the project and click on "Maps".
2. Click **Import Pins**.
3. Choose **From a spreadsheet** or **From photos**, then follow the article for that method.
