Images
To add images to your form, click Add Content → Text and Image → Image. The current size limit for images is 500kb.
Once you select "Image", the "Add Image" pop-up will appear.
You can then click "Upload File" and select the image you would like to add to your form. You can also add a link to the image. In addition, you will need to provide alternative text for the image. This is what respondents with assistive devices and reports will use when the image cannot be seen.
Finally, you can set the image position, width, and height. Or you can use the default settings.
Click "OK" to close the pop-up and add the image to your form.
