FAQs
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 surrounding text instead of sitting in a separate media block. Inline images help break up long passages, improve readability, and illustrate ideas directly within your quotes, proposals, or other documents created with QuoteCloud.
Using inline images is especially useful in sales quoting software and sales proposal software to make proposals more engaging and easier for prospects to scan.
How do I insert an image into a text block?
Activate the text block you want to edit and place the cursor where the image should appear. Then open the editor toolbar and use the image option to insert an image — the image will be placed inline at the cursor position.
From the toolbar you can choose an image from QuoteCloud's image library, select an Unsplash photo, or upload a file from your device, making it simple to add visuals directly inside your quote or proposal.
Can I upload my own images or use Unsplash images inside a text block?
Yes. QuoteCloud 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 using the editor toolbar.
This flexibility makes it easy to include branded visuals or high-quality stock photos in your quote software or proposal software documents.
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. Animated GIFs will display their animation when inserted and not edited.
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 to create visually rich content. Inline images work well for illustrations, icons, and small visuals that need to flow with your copy.
Some other media types (for example complex interactive widgets or full‑width videos) may be better added as separate media blocks or via the editor's embed options to ensure full functionality. When in doubt, test the combination in a draft document before sending.
What file formats and image sizes are supported for inline images?
QuoteCloud supports common image formats such as JPEG, PNG and GIF for inline use. These formats cover most photographic, graphic, and animated needs when building quotes and proposals.
For best performance in your sales quoting software or sales proposal software, optimize images for the web (compress without visible quality loss) and keep file sizes reasonably small so documents load quickly for recipients.
How do I resize or edit an inline image, and will editing affect GIFs?
To resize or edit an inline image, click the image inside the text block and use the editor handles or the toolbar cropping/resize tools. You can adjust placement, alignment and size to match your layout.
Be aware that editing a GIF (crop, resize, or save changes) will convert it to a static image — if you want to preserve animation, avoid saving edits to the GIF inside the editor.
Best practices for using images inside quotes and proposals
Use inline images sparingly to highlight key information and break up dense text. Prefer optimized JPEG/PNG for photos and small GIFs only when animation adds value. Always add descriptive alt text for accessibility and faster scanning.
Keep branding consistent across visuals, compress images to reduce document size, and use Unplash or your own high-quality photos to make proposals look professional. These tips will help you get the most from your quote software and proposal software while keeping documents fast and readable.
