  2. Select Image under Media type.
  3. Alter the default Instruction text, if necessary.
  4. Click Upload image and choose your image file.
    Note: The file size can not exceed 5MB; the only supported file types are JPEG, PNG, and GIF.
  5. Add Alt Text if you anticipate that a screen reader might need to read the image.
     

Image tasks are available within Question pages and can be uploaded in the following ways: 

Option 1: Start with an image

  1. When you select Image from the Media section in the test builder, it will automatically create a new Question Page.
  2. The image will be positioned as the first task on that page, and you can continue adding follow-up questions below it.

Option 2: Add an Image to an Empty Question page

  1. If you create a new Question page without any tasks, you'll see an “Empty” state.

  2. From there, you can choose to upload an Image, which behaves the same as Option 1,  the image becomes the first task in that Question Page.

Option 3: Add an Image to an Existing Question page

  1. If you’ve already added other tasks to a Question page, you can still insert an Image Task.
  2. Simply use the dropdown menu (available at the bottom of the Question Page or when inserting a new task) and select Image.
