Adding images in the surveys

Images play a vital role in communication and hence a significant role in surveys too. Multimedia makes your research study much more engaging and lets you collect quality data. The participants will like the well-presented questionnaire, irrespective of the device on which they take the survey.

It can get overwhelming to look at a large block of text without any images or multimedia and lead to fatigue. QuestionPro allows you to upload custom images in surveys to make it more exciting and engaging for your participants. You can upload images to your surveys with a simple tool and collect data using different means to present your questions and answers.

Example of images in a survey
