    Is there a way that we can upload images in Jotform? Right now, we are uploading to Flickr and pulling them in that way, but we would prefer to upload them directly in Jotform. Images below for example:

    Hi Labs_Cira,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. I understand that you wish to upload images in Jotform and then use them in form fields. There are multiple ways to achieve this, but one of the options is to create a new form and add an Image element to it. This element allows you to upload the image and keep it saved without deleting it. Let me show you how:

    1. In Form Builder, click on the Add Form Element menu on the left side of the page.
    2. Click on the Image element and drag it to add it to the form.
    3. Click on the gear icon and then in the General tab, click on the Choose a file button.
    4. Click on the Upload File button, and select the file to upload.
    5. Now, right-click on the uploaded image and copy the image address. How to upload images in Jotform to be used in form questions and answers Image 1 Screenshot 20

    That's it. To display an image in a form, you can use the copied image address. However, it is important to ensure that you do not delete the image element or the image itself from the form. This way, you can use the new form to store a collection of images.

    Reach out again if you have any other questions.

    Thanks for the feedback, Sidharth! Does this mean that all pictures we include in the form will need to show up twice in the form? For example, the image we attached has 6 different images. Let's say 1 is for an apple, 2 is for a banana, etc... Will all of these images need to appear in the form twice somehow? That is not exactly what we are looking to do. We'd just rather upload one image per potential checkbox multiple choice part of the quiz.

    Hi Labs_Cira,

    Thanks for waiting patiently. If you want to directly upload the picture in the form, you can use Image Picker from the Jotform Widgets. I can walk you through setting that up:

    1. In your form builder, click on Add form element.
    2. Now Add Image picker from the widgets. How to upload images in Jotform to be used in form questions and answers Image 1 Screenshot 30
    3. Now you can click on Add New Images from the settings.
    4. You can also add label to it. How to upload images in Jotform to be used in form questions and answers Image 2 Screenshot 41
