Adding Graphics

Qualtrics can store image files for you to use in your survey. These graphics are not stored in a survey, but in the library to make them accessible to many surveys.

1. In the new Survey Editor, select a question and click on advanced options.
2. In the question tab (it opens by default) click on the insert image button in the top left hand side.
3. A new window will appear. Select the library, category, and the specific graphic. Then insert the graphic.

To add graphics to the library

A file from your computer

1. Under the library tab click on the graphics library.
2. Click on:
   • All graphics are divided into categories. You will be prompted to enter a category for your graphic.
3. Give the graphic a name and click upload.
4. Find your file on your computer and select it.

A file hosted on a server

1. Under the library tab click on the graphics library.
2. Click on add a graphic.
   • All graphics are divided into categories. You will be prompted to enter a category for your graphic.
3. Give the graphic a name.
4. In the correct box place the address where the graphic is hosted.

Obtaining an address from a website

If you are using a graphic from your company's website but you don't know the graphic's address (graphics will have a separate address from the page where they appear), in most instances you can get the location by right clicking on the picture and selecting properties from the menu that appears. Copy the URL out of the pop-up window of your browser.

It is illegal to use copyrighted material without permission from the owner.

Uploading while Creating a survey

While creating a survey you can select a question type with graphic options or add a graphic to question text. In the dialog box that opens up, click the upload button. In the window that appears repeat one of the processes discussed above.

For Files Larger than the Qualtrics Graphic Library File Size Limit

If the file size is large than the file size limit for the Qualtrics Graphic Library (currently 256KB), then you will be unable to upload the image into your Qualtrics Graphic Library.

You will need to host the file on your own server or use a file hosting service. Many file hosting companies have free plans available. You will need to have permission to link to the image, so you will need to find a file hosting company that allows linking to the image you have uploaded.

Once you have the URL to the hosted image, you just need basic html to insert the image into your question. Click to edit the question text and click the "Code View" button. Use the example HTML below (see w3schools.com for more info), but paste your image URL in place of the example URL. The graphic will now be pulled into the survey.

Note: If referencing images on someone else's site, you must have permission first, as you would be using their bandwidth and possibly referencing a copyrighted image.
