Configuration
Name — Enter a label for the field that will appear in the table and on records.
Image size — Choose how uploaded images are stored:
- Original size — Keeps the image at its original resolution with no compression
- Large — Compresses the image to 2048px
- Medium — Compresses the image to 1080px
- Small — Compresses the image to 720px
Tooltip — Enable to add a helper text that appears when a user hovers over the field.
Required field — Enable to make uploading an image mandatory before saving a record.
Use Cases and Examples
Product catalog — In a Products table, attach a photo to each product record so your team can visually identify items without leaving the table.
Maintenance forms — In a Maintenance Forms table, let clients attach a photo of the device that needs to be repaired, giving technicians visual context before the visit.
Team directory — Store profile pictures in a People table to make records easier to identify at a glance.
Company events — Use an Image field to attach event photos to each event record, keeping visual documentation organized alongside other record data.
Keep in Mind
- Compression settings apply at upload time. Changing the image size setting after images have already been uploaded does not affect previously stored images.
- The Image field only accepts image files. For other file types, use the Files field instead.
FAQ
1- Can I download images attached to a record?
Yes. Images can be downloaded directly from the record in their original format.
2- What is the difference between the Image field and the Files field?
Both allow attaching files to a record, but the Image field only accepts image files. The Files field accepts any file type.
3- Does changing the image size setting affect existing images?
No. The compression setting only applies to images uploaded after the change. Previously uploaded images are not affected.
4- Can I use the Image field in automations?
Image fields have limited support in automations. You can reference them in conditions but cannot use them as values to set in update actions.
5- Can I make the Image field required?
Yes. Enabling the required option forces users to upload at least one image before saving the record.
