🖼️Image polls: visual polling done right

An image poll attaches a photo or visual to a poll, letting voters react to something they can see. On every platform we've measured, image polls double or triple engagement vs text-only polls. The visual hooks attention, the question converts the tap. Particularly powerful for outfit polls, product comparison, food, and any "vote on my X" creator content.

Why image polls convert better

Images process 60,000x faster than text in the brain (3M Corporation research). A poll with an image is scanned and understood instantly; a text-only poll requires reading. On Insta stories, a poll attached to a photo gets 60-75% engagement vs 40-55% for plain text polls. On moomz, polls with images convert link visitors to voters at 75-85% vs 60-70% for text-only. The image is what stops the scroll.

Use cases that crush

Outfit polls ("which one for the wedding?"). Product comparison ("which laptop bag?"). Food ("new menu, vote your favorite"). Recipe results ("how does this look?"). Apartment views ("which one to move into?"). Pet polls ("cutest face in the friend group?"). The unifying trait: voters want to see what they're judging, not read about it. If your question contains "this" or "this one", you probably need an image poll.

Image quality matters

Use 1080×1080 or larger. Square crops render best in moomz's card layout. Avoid screenshots of text (the text becomes part of the image which is harder to read on a phone). For comparison polls, use a single composite image with options side-by-side (label them A/B/C/D matching the option labels). Compress before upload — Supabase Storage cap is 5MB but ~500KB-1MB renders smoothly on mobile data.

Setting up an image poll on moomz

Open the create form, hit "add image", upload from gallery or take a photo on the spot. Image previews above the question. Type the question and options. Hit create. The poll page renders the image edge-to-edge above the question with options below — perfect for sharing to Insta stories where the image is the hook.

Q.Do image polls cost extra?+

No, image upload is free on moomz. Stored in Supabase Storage.

Q.Do image polls work on Insta?+

Yes — the image renders in link previews, and even better, you can post your image natively to your story with the moomz Link sticker on top. Best of both worlds.

Q.Best image poll topics?+

Outfit polls, product comparison, food, apartments, pets, recipes — anything voters need to SEE to judge. Avoid image polls for abstract questions where the image adds nothing.
