This article explains the step-by-step process to add a Static Image to a form and how it appears on mobile.

Static Images are a great way to relay visual information when text alone doesn't suffice.


Static Image Field

Blueprints, floor plans, diagrams, keys and legends are just a few examples of things you might want to incorporate into your form using the Static Image field.

Adding a Reference Image to the Account

Just like with Reference Data, Reference Images cannot be added from within the Advanced Form Builder. So first, the image must be uploaded from the Reference Images page.

Navigate to the Reference Images page, following the instructions based on your Account View.

Core View

In the left navigation, expand the Data Sources dropdown and select Reference Images.

GoCanvas Tip

Since Static Images are meant to be purely references while completing a form, they cannot be added to the PDF. If you want the image to be in the PDF, add the image as an Image Element in the PDF Designer.

Static Images on Mobile

On mobile, users can open full-size images, zoom in, and pan around to get a more detailed look.
