Frequently Asked Questions

What does "add images inside a text block" mean?

Adding images inside a text block means placing an image inline with your copy so it flows with the surrounding text rather than sitting in a separate media block. Inline images break up long passages, improve readability, and help illustrate ideas directly within your quotes, proposals, or other documents.

How do I insert an image into a text block?

Activate the text block you want to edit, place your cursor where the image should appear, then use the editor toolbar's image option to insert an image. From the toolbar you can choose an image from the QuoteCloud image library, pick a photo from the Unsplash collection, or upload a file from your device — the image will be placed inline at the cursor position.

Can I upload my own images or use Unsplash images inside a text block?

Yes. QuoteCloud's editor lets you upload images from your computer or pick from the built-in image library, which includes Unsplash photos. Both uploaded files and Unsplash images can be inserted inline in a text block using the editor toolbar, making it easy to add branded visuals to your quotes and proposals.

Can I upload or use GIFs inside a text block?

Yes — GIF files can be uploaded or selected from the image library and placed inline like other images. Note: if you edit a GIF inside the editor (crop, resize, or save changes), the saved result will be a static image and the animation will not be preserved.

Can I combine inline images with other embedded media in a QuoteCloud text block?

You can mix inline images (and GIFs) with text inside a text block, but many other embedded media types — especially videos and interactive embeds — must be added using dedicated media blocks outside the text block. This keeps document structure consistent and ensures complex media render correctly in quotes and proposals.

Will inline images display correctly in quotes and proposals created with QuoteCloud's sales quoting software and proposal software?

Yes. Inline images inserted into text blocks will appear in generated documents and client-facing proposals created with QuoteCloud. For best results, preview your document and test on desktop and mobile to confirm layout and responsiveness before sending a sales quote or proposal.

How can I control image alignment, size, and text wrapping inside a text block?

Use the editor toolbar and on-image handles to adjust alignment, resize images, and control how text wraps around them. Exact controls depend on the editor version, so preview changes in your quote software or proposal software to ensure the image looks right across different devices.

What should I do if an image won’t upload or appears broken inside a text block?

If an image fails to upload or shows as broken, try re-uploading the file, use an alternate format or a photo from the Unsplash library, check your connection, and clear your browser cache. If problems persist, confirm file size/format limits in your account settings or contact QuoteCloud support for assistance.
