Media Gallery

Media gallery is one of the most unique survey fields that you can use for your professional online surveys. There are almost no other survey tools offering this feature, with such an easy-to-use design. Media gallery lets you collect feedback on visually presented answers. This is a dream feature for visual designers, illustrators, creative professionals, retailers, webshop owners, and many more, who cannot get people’s opinions, unless they can give them a look at the visual material they are asking about. SurveyLegend is finally allowing them and you to create interactive image galleries. Yes! You and they need “image based surveys” and here they are!

Media gallery makes it extremely simple to ask questions, and upload several pictures as answers which are beautifully presented to survey participants. They will be able to click or tap on the images to give their responses.

When you drag a media gallery question type into your survey, you will see a sample question, along with three images. This is to show you how such a question would look in a real online survey. However, as soon as you click on the question type to edit it, you’ll notice that the preview image choices disappear and an Upload button takes their place.

Now, go ahead and click on the upload button Upload images to add images to your question. The great thing is that you can easily add several images at once, and let the system take care of uploading all of them for you.

Tip:

After uploading is completed, you can easily drag and drop images to reorder and organize them as you wish. So, don’t waste time uploading images one by one. Grab a bunch of them, and organize them later on in peace.

Any picture that you upload will appear as a square image in the image placeholder. This means that if you have a very wide or very tall image, the system will have to cut off the extra sides of your image to be able to fit it in the preview placeholder. Just keep in mind that only the central part of the image will be visible.
How uploaded images get cropped in your surveys

Note:

This can be extra important for you who care about the details of your survey design. If you want a nicely cropped image, you may have to make it with image editing programs, before uploading it.

However, if you have a paid subscription, your participants always have the possibility of seeing your images uncropped. When they click on the magnifying glass button on an image, a so-called lightbox will open, where they can preview the image in full size with all details.

Tip: If you have several large-sized images, you don’t need to bother resizing them before upload. Our smart system will automatically shrink the image to a suitable size, before upload starts. This saves you a lot of bandwidth and precious time. Your original images will, of course, remain untouched on your local disk.

By default, respondents are not limited and can select several images per question. However, as a survey creator using media gallery, you can allow single or multiple image selections. You do this by toggling “Allow multiple selection” in the media gallery’s settings panel.
