Question type

Image upload question

An image upload question asks the respondent for a picture: a screenshot of a bug, a photo of a damaged parcel, a snap of finished work. It accepts image files only and shows a preview once the upload lands, so people can see they picked the right shot before they submit.

Screenshots, damage photos and proof of work

One screenshot replaces a paragraph of «the button on the left, no, the other one». Returns desks use photos to judge damage before a courier is booked. Field teams send a picture of the installed equipment instead of a tick in a checklist, and a review form can ask for a photo of the dish or the room.

For PDFs, spreadsheets or logs pick the general file upload block instead; this one takes images only.

Prompts for picture answers

  • Add a screenshot of the error message, if you have one.
  • Upload a photo of the parcel and the label.
  • Show us the finished installation: one wide shot and one close-up.

Size limit, count and previews on mobile

The default limit is 5 MB per image; you can raise or lower it, allow several images and cap how many. On a phone the picker opens the gallery or the camera, and each image appears as a thumbnail once uploaded, so a wrong photo is easy to spot.

Errors are specific: an oversized image names the file and the limit, and going over the count says how many are allowed. In results you get image counts and an extension breakdown; the CSV holds file names.

What you can set

  • more than one may be picked
  • file size limit, MB
  • how many files to take

Getting photos you can actually use

Say what the picture should show. «Upload a photo» brings back a blurry shot of a box; «a photo of the label with the order number visible» brings back something a support agent can act on without writing back.

Ask for two angles when one is not enough. A damage claim is easier to judge with one wide shot and one close-up, and allowing up to two or three images with the count setting keeps people from sending twenty.

Mind the privacy side. Photos of homes, documents and faces are personal data; collect them only when you need them, and say who will see them.

Frequently asked questions

Image upload question: common questions

Should the image question be required?

Only when the case cannot be handled without it, such as a damage claim. For bug reports keep it optional and say «if you have one». A required screenshot makes people who are on another device give up, and you lose the text description as well.

Ask for the screenshot at the moment the problem is fresh, not three emails later.
