Optimize image questions for accessibility

Keep the following considerations in mind when authoring image questions.

When uploading images, make certain to add appropriate alternative text (Alt-Text) to provide context for what the image represents for users with accessible needs.

Label images as buttons

When you select Image Only Answer in questions that use images as buttons, provide a descriptive label for the answer.

Example of a descriptive label for images as buttons

Use descriptive text when adding an image to question text

To ensure data integrity when adding an image to question text, right-click the image to open the Properties dialog, and type descriptive text in the following attribute fields:

  • ALT text
  • Title Text

Have an "I cannot see the image" option

Include an option for participants who cannot see the image on their device.

Tip: Providing an "I cannot see the image option" is good practice for all participants, as there could be other technical reasons for not being able to see an image.
