General best practices
- Use consistent aspect ratios across all options so they display evenly side by side.
- Minimum 800 px wide for standard surveys. Larger images scale to fit the respondent’s screen, and respondents can zoom in on images while answering.
- Max file size: 20 MB per image.
- Supported formats: JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP, BMP, TIFF, SVG, PSD, HEIF, ICO, JPEG 2000, AI, EPS, PDF, DjVu, FLIF, JPEG XR, raw files (.arw, .cr2), and TGA.
Resizing your images
The easiest way to match aspect ratios is the auto-resize tool in the survey builder. When you upload option images with different aspect ratios, the survey builder shows a Resize images to match? prompt. Click Resize all images to normalize them to one aspect ratio. PickFu adds white padding instead of cropping, so nothing gets cut off. Click Keep originals to skip it. If you’d rather resize images before uploading, use free online tools like Pixlr, Canva, or Bulk Resize Photos. The goal is matching aspect ratios across options so they display evenly side by side.FAQs
My images look blurry in the preview — what should I do?
Upload higher resolution images. For standard surveys, aim for at least 800 px wide. For Click Tests and 5-Second Tests, the minimum is 1,000 px wide and 1,200–1,600 px is recommended. Respondents can zoom in on images in every question type except Click Tests, so higher resolution always helps.Can I upload animated GIFs?
Yes. Animated GIFs are supported across all question types and will play automatically when respondents view your survey.Do images need to be the same exact size?
They don’t need to be pixel-identical, but they should have the same aspect ratio. Consistent aspect ratios ensure options appear at similar visual weight and don’t introduce bias. If your aspect ratios don’t match, click Resize all images when the survey builder prompts you.Related Articles
