3 - Change Your Field Settings

To modify your photo, you must be in the “Field Settings” tab. Once you add your image, you should automatically advance to this area.

Then, click on your image cell and add a field label. You may wish to change the image size to fit the form better, change the alignment of the picture, or add hover text, alt-text, or a URL. Finally, add a caption if you wish.

Hint: the “Field Label” is a wonderful place to add a gentle CTA.

4 - Save and Preview

Once you are pleased with the overall appearance of the picture you have added, click the “Save Form” icon at the bottom of the screen and choose “Take me back to the Form Manager.”

Finally, click the “preview” link and take a peek at the appearance of your newly revamped form.

Hint: If you decide that you want to make any edits, just click the blue “EDIT” button. Go back into Add Field (to add a different field and image or delete the current photo) or Field Settings to make sizing or caption changes and save again.
