The Image question type is a context question, meaning respondents do not provide an answer. Use this question type when you want a respondent to review an image full screen or with a timed exposure.

Building Image Questions

1. In the Survey Editor, click the Image question icon in the question menu, or drag the icon into place.
2. Click the Browse... button to select a PNG, JPEG, GIF, SVG, PDF, or TIFF file under 30MB from your hard drive.
3. Type or paste context information into the Caption field.

⚠️ Note: In order to launch your survey, you must add a caption for the image in the question field.

Customizing Question Appearance

By default, respondents see the image fit the width of the survey widget.

1. Check the Allow scrolling box to enable scrolling on extra long images.
2. Click the Min Display time: dropdown to require respondents to view the image for a minimum number of seconds before advancing.
3. Check the Force fullscreen box to allow respondents to see the image as large as possible.
4. Click the Auto advance dropdown to select a length of time (up to one minute), after which a respondent will automatically advance to the next question.

💡 Tip: If you'd like the image to show without question text, simply add [hide text] to the question text field.
