How do I test sets of images using collages?

How to use Image Sets to test groups of images together, with collages as a fallback option.

Updated over a week ago

Use Image Sets to compare up to nine images per option in a single poll. Fall back to collages only when respondents need to evaluate a single composed layout.

When to use Image Sets vs. collages

  • Use Image Sets for any test that needs 2–9 images per option. They're included with all plans and supported on most poll types.

  • Use a collage only when respondents must evaluate a single composed layout — like a magazine spread or packaging flat.

  • Prepare high-quality images at least 500 px wide with consistent aspect ratios so the experience feels smooth on desktop and mobile.

How to set up Image Sets

  1. Start a new poll in the survey builder, choose your poll type (Head-to-Head, Single Select, Ranked, etc.), and confirm Image Sets is available for that format.

  2. Click Image Set for each option, upload 2–9 images (or import an Amazon ASIN), drag to reorder, and choose vertical or horizontal layout.

  3. Preview the respondent view, verify navigation arrows and zoom controls, then launch your poll or save it as a draft.

Image Sets work with all poll types except Click Tests. For the full Image Sets workflow, see Testing Image Sets with PickFu.

Need a collage instead?

  • Use Canva, Photoshop, or Figma to arrange images on one canvas no wider than 1,600 px.

  • Keep spacing and proportions consistent. Add clear labels (A, B, C) within the artwork if needed.

  • Export at 1,200 px wide or larger so respondents can zoom in without losing clarity.

  • Upload the collage as a single image option in your poll and preview before launch.

FAQs

How do I decide between an Image Set and a collage?

Use Image Sets whenever you can upload the individual images — respondents get cleaner navigation and you save design time. Choose a collage only when the combined layout itself needs feedback.

Can I mix Image Sets and single images in one poll?

Yes. Add Image Sets for the options that require multiple images and keep other options as single images. Respondents can compare them side by side.

How many images can I include per Image Set?

You can upload between 2 and 9 images per option. If you only have one image, use the standard image option type instead.

Will Image Sets change my poll pricing?

No. Image Sets are included in standard poll pricing with no additional fees.
