Finally, a WordPress poll plugin with images!
If you use WordPress to host your polls or surveys, there is now an easy option to take your site to the next level. Using a WordPress poll plugin... with images! That means your poll answers (what people click on to vote) can be made into images instead of just text.
This simple yet powerful feature can take a list of radio buttons or checkboxes from this:

How to add images to your WordPress polls
Adding images to your WordPress survey form or electronic voting system (or polls) is easy. Before we show you how easy, here's a live demo of what using our WordPress poll plugin with images looks like:
To use this in your forms, all you need to do is add a radio button or checkbox field to your form, then select use images for options. This will replace the traditional radio button or checkbox with images of your choice.
You can also easily choose the image size you want by selecting from the dropdown box in the field options. These are the default size options for responsive polls:
- Small: 150px (the default size)
- Medium: 250px
- Large: 320px
- Extra-large: 400px
And if you want to format the look and feel of your poll images, everything can be edited easily with our visual form styler. That means no coding, no CSS styling, and no worries! But you can easily change the font family, colors, and more.
After that comes the most important step: uploading your images. To do that, simply click the Upload image button. You can upload a new image or choose an existing image from your media library.

Add polls straight from the WordPress dashboard
If you aren't familiar with Formidable, you might not know how easy it is to create polls in WordPress! All you do is create a new form and use our drag and drop form builder to arrange the fields. Finish up by customizing your field options. Easy.
Once you finish creating your poll form (or whatever form you build), publishing it is easy. You can copy and paste the shortcode to any post or page on your site. You can also publish a poll in any widget area using the shortcode or by using the Formidable widget.
Add images to your survey forms, plus more
With Formidable Forms, you can add multiple polls to your site with no trouble. But responsive WordPress polls aren't the only thing you can add. If it's a form of any kind, Formidable can build it.
And of course, you'll be able to replace radio buttons or checkboxes with images in those forms too.
Quizzes
If you want to create quizzes, Formidable has you covered. Adding images to your quiz options will definitely make your quiz stand out. If you want to make your quiz go viral, having the best visual appeal will make all the difference.
And if you are building quizzes for a course or school, a multiple choice question with image options is basically a whole new type of question! All you need is the Formidable Quiz Maker add-on, which is included free with the Business Plan or above.
Surveys
Want to increase the conversions on your surveys? Make them more engaging. There's a reason why almost every blog article you read online has images. Why would a survey be any different?
Contact forms
Are there a few different reasons why your customers typically contact you? Make it easy for them. Sure, you could give them the option to select from a dropdown menu, but selecting an image is much more exciting. And excited people turn into customers a whole lot easier.
Signup forms
Make it easy for people to signup for the right email list... all from the same signup form. An image powered signup form is bound to draw more attention from would-be subscribers. Why miss the chance to get as many signups as possible?
Even more WordPress poll plugin features
The advanced features of Formidable make it easy to maximize engagement on your site. You now know that you can add images to replace radio buttons or checkboxes. But Formidable also has a lot more to offer.
Display Data with Views
With the Formidable Views feature, you can turn your form data into whatever you want. Here's an example, maybe you've seen those viral quizzes where users answer questions to determine what kind of Disney character they are.
Users answer a series of questions in the quiz, and upon finishing, they find out what character they are most similar to. With Formidable, you can configure your quiz to show an image, text, and a link to share the quiz directly when a user completes the quiz!
This is lightyears better than simply displaying a text quiz result. Unless you are trying to create a bland and boring website, of course.
Graphs, Charts, and Reports
If you created a poll, people love to see the poll results in real-time after they complete it. The best polls display the results with a graph or a chart. With Formidable, this is something that can be customized endlessly.
You could display the poll results as a bar chart or create something like the 3D pie graph below!
Smart Conditional Logic
Tailor poll questions to your audience with smart conditional logic. Want different questions for different age groups? Ask the age at the start of your poll, then use conditional logic to determine which questions appear.
Integration with Email & CRM platforms
If you use MailChimp, ActiveCampaign, Hubspot, or WooCommerce, you'll love the integration power that Formidable Forms commands. There are dozens of integrations and add-ons that ensure Formidable plays nice with your favorite platforms. You can also use our Twilio add-on which allows your forms to both receive SMS messages!
And even if Formidable doesn't have an official integration, our Zapier add-on makes customizing your own integration easy - with connections to over 750 different apps and services!
...and dozens of other features!
The great thing about Formidable is that it's a lot more than a WordPress poll plugin with images. It has dozens of features for both beginner and advanced users. Take a look at our features page to see what's under the hood.

SMS Text Polls is one of the reasons I'm using Formidable. 😀 It's simply awesome! 😀
Glad to hear you love the SMS polls...
Is there a setting where I could choose to allow only logged in respondents and only to allow them to vote once? I'm going to be doing a "Readers Choice" poll, and businesses can get testy if they think people are voting dozens of times.
Thanks!
Yep, this can be done.
Its a bit much to explain here - but if you open a ticket in the help desk we should be able to walk you through it.
I love that we can use Formidable for this and I recommended it to someone a couple weeks ago too when they said they had a Formidable license!
We used this for a live event where viewers could vote on the next section of content. It was great except we made the mistake of telling them "vote now" and thousands of people hit our site at once. HA! Lesson learned... space out the voting or get a more powerful server.
HA! is right!! Thanks for sharing your experience and lesson learned 🙂
The poll feature is one of the few features I'm yet to try out with Formidable. Great plugin.
