You can add images directly to form pages with the Image component. Use images to show products, add event visuals, include instructions, or make long forms easier to scan.
Unlike logos and backgrounds, images added with the Image component appear as content inside the form. They sit between questions, text blocks, dividers, and other components.
Add an image to a form
Section titled “Add an image to a form”-
Open your form in the editor
-
Drag the Image component from the left sidebar onto the canvas
-
Click Choose an image on the canvas or Add image in the settings panel
-
Choose an image source
-
Adjust the caption, width, size, or alignment as needed
Choose an image source
Section titled “Choose an image source”When you add or replace an image, Fomr gives you three source options:
Choose an existing image from your asset library. This is best for brand images, reused graphics, and files you have already uploaded.
Upload a new image from your computer. Uploaded images are saved to your asset library so you can reuse them later.
Paste a direct image URL. Use this when the image is already hosted elsewhere and you want to reference it directly.
Captions and layout
Section titled “Captions and layout”Image components include controls for how the image appears in your form:
- Caption: Turn on the caption setting, then edit the caption directly below the image on the canvas
- Full width: Let the image span the available form width
- Custom size: Set exact width and height when full width is off
- Alignment: Align smaller images left, center, or right when full width is off
Use full-width images for banners, visual section breaks, or large photos. Use custom sizing and alignment for smaller supporting images that sit between questions.
Image component vs. design images
Section titled “Image component vs. design images”Fomr supports images in several places:
| Image type | Where it appears | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Image component | Inside a form page | Product photos, examples, diagrams, visual breaks |
| Logo | Form header | Brand identity |
| Background | Behind the form | Page styling and mood |
| Open Graph image | Link previews | Social sharing and search previews |
If respondents should see the image as part of the form content, use the Image component. If the image is part of the overall design, use the logo or background settings.
Best practices
Section titled “Best practices”Use images with purpose. Add images when they clarify, guide, or support the questions around them.
Keep files optimized. Large images can slow down form loading. Use JPG or WebP for photos and PNG or SVG for graphics.
Write short captions. Captions should explain the image or add context without distracting from the form.
Preview on mobile. Check your form on smaller screens, especially when using full-width or large images.
Do not rely on images alone. If the image contains important instructions, repeat the key information in text so every respondent can understand it.
