Clickable image polls have been redesigned and enhanced in Poll Everywhere 2.0, now more flexible, precise, and easier to use than ever. Whether you’re creating interactive geography quizzes, anatomy tests, or visual assessments, clickable images allow participants to respond directly by clicking on regions of an image.
Overview of Enhancements
Clickable image polls now support
Streamlined creation: Upload your image and define response areas in just a few clicks.
Precision tools: Draw rectangles or define custom shapes with a new vector editor.
Correct answer marking: Set a correct region for automatic grading and feedback.
Live correctness feedback: Show correct responses during live presentations.
Improved design: Modern layout with improved usability for both presenters and participants.
Creating a Clickable Image Poll
Start by selecting Clickable Image as your question type. You’ll be prompted to upload an image, for example, a map or diagram. After uploading your image, you can enter a question such as: "Where is Iceland?" Then use the built-in region editor to define clickable areas.
You can:
Draw a rectangular region
Use the vector tool to trace detailed shapes
Zoom in, move points, and add corners for better alignment
Mark the correct area for grading (optional)
Once your image region is set, save your poll. It’s ready to present or share..
Editing Clickable Regions
Use the vector tool to fine-tune your clickable areas. This allows you to:
Drag and adjust anchor points
Create complex outlines (like irregular state borders)
Combine both rectangle and custom vector shapes
This is especially helpful for images with non-standard shapes or small areas that require precision. This makes it possible to trace states, countries, or custom shapes, even tricky outlines like Massachusetts or Maine.
Presenting Your Poll
When you present a clickable image poll:
Participant responses appear as dots or a heatmap over the image
If you’ve enabled correctness, you can show the correct area after voting
Participants can respond from any device with a simple click
The experience is smooth and familiar — similar to how multiple-choice questions show correctness.
Example Use Cases
Clickable image polls are ideal for:
Gathering visual feedback from users
Locating places on a map
Identifying body parts in medical training
Selecting parts in a diagram or product image
