Images can be displayed alongside questions to provide additional information to respondents and to increase their engagement. To display an image with a question's text, use the show image tag.

For information on including images with options or table rows, see Option and row images.
Tip! The platform accepts a variety of image input types, such as .jpg/.jpeg, .png, and animated .gif files. If instead you need to add a video to your survey, contact Support for assistance.
Details
- First, image files should be uploaded to your survey's images folder in the Files applet.
- Then, attach the image to a question's text by applying the
show imagetag to the question (or table) with the image file name as its input. - Images may be formatted via image tags that also can be applied as decorators.
- Questions and tables can include images at both the question-level and option-level.
Image tags and decorators
The following tags and decorators can be used alongside show image to format images. To apply a decorator, omit the word "image," and use the remaining text as the decorator label.
| As a tag | As a decorator | Description |
image alt text |

image max height |

Specifies the maximum displayed height of the image in pixels, e.g., image max height: 200. |

image placement |

Specifies where the image should be displayed in relation to the question text. Inputs include: Note that 'only' indicates to show the image without the question text. |
Formatting question images
The tags for formatting question images can instead be applied as decorators following the show image tag, allowing for a more compact question code. A comparison of the two coding methods is shown below.
