Where can I find the design tools to add images?

If you were ever wondering where you can find the tools to create a beautiful form design, you’ll find the answers to your questions here.

How can I add images to my form questions?

You can do this by either applying a theme to your form with a background image, or by adding an image to an individual question and applying a layout. Learn more about themes here, and scroll here to learn about adding images. 

Alternatively, you can also add images to your answer options in a Picture Choice question.

Custom CSS is not currently supported for forms. 

What’s the difference between a background image in a theme and an image layout?

The key difference between a background image in a theme and an image layout is that the background image applies to the whole form, while a layout only applies to the image for a given question.

How can I add a background image?

To add a background image, go to the Design panel and select a theme. You can then add a new theme or edit an existing one by clicking the three dots.

To add or remove a background image, click Add or the trash can icon next to Background img. All the design changes you make here will apply to the whole form.

You can read more about adding a background image in the Design panel here.

How can I add an image to a question?

To add an image to a form question, go to the Question tab on the right side menu, and select add next to Image or video. You can then upload an image, or search for one. This image will only apply to the given question.

Then, you can choose how you'd like your layout to appear on a mobile or desktop device.

Can I use a question image and a background image at the same time?

Yes, by all means! Let’s take a look at an example.

In the screenshot below, the green part with the pattern is part of a background image added in the Design tab. This is the same in every question of the form, including Welcome Screens and Endings.

The world globe with clouds image was added under the Question tab. It's a .png with a transparent background.
