How to add a custom cover image to each page of a Classic form in Formaloo

Learn how to add a unique cover image to each page of a Classic form in Formaloo — and how page-level covers interact with your form's default cover image.

What you'll build

By the end of this guide, your multi-page Classic form will display a unique banner image on each page — so that Page 1 shows your intro visual, Page 2 shows something relevant to that section, and so on. You'll also understand how page-level covers interact with the form's default cover, and when one overrides the other.

When to use this

  • Your Classic form has multiple pages and each section covers a different topic, product, or step

  • You're building a product recommendation quiz and want visuals to match each category

  • You're running a multi-step registration or onboarding flow and want each page to feel intentional

  • You set a form-level default cover but want specific pages to show a different image

  • You want the visual experience of the form to match the content — not just use one image throughout

Step-by-step

Part 1 — Add a cover image to a specific page

This is how you set a page-level cover — an image that appears only on one page of your form. When a page has its own cover image, it overrides the form-level default for that page.

1. Open your Classic form in the editor: From your workspace, open the form you want to edit. Make sure it's set to Classic layout and has more than one page (added via the "Add a page" field).

2. Navigate to the page you want to customize: Click through to the specific page in the form editor — for example, Page 2 or Page 3. The banner area at the top of the canvas will show the current cover image for that page (or the form-level default if no page image is set yet).

3. Click the pen icon on the cover area: Hover over the banner/cover area at the top of the page canvas and click the pen icon that appears. An upload prompt will

appear.

4. Upload your image: Select the image file from your device. The cover updates immediately and is saved to that page only. Other pages are not affected.

Note: This image is stored on the Page field for that specific page. It will not appear on any other page of the form.


Part 2 — Set a form-level (default) cover image

The form-level cover is the fallback image shown on any page that does not have its own cover image set. This is how you set or change it.

1. Open your form in the editor: From the same Classic form editor view.

2. Click "Design" in the top navigation: This opens the form's design and theme settings.

3. Click "Edit" on any active theme: Select the theme currently applied to your form and open its settings.

4. Upload a default cover image: In the theme settings, find the cover image field and upload your image. This image will appear on every page that does not have a page-level cover set.

5. Save your changes: The default cover is now applied across the form as the fallback.


How page-level and form-level covers interact

The rendering logic works like this:

Situation

What appears

Page has its own cover image

Page cover image is shown

Page has no cover image, form has a default

Form-level default cover is shown

Neither page nor form has a cover image

No banner is shown

Important: If you set a form-level default cover (Part 2) and then upload a page-level cover on a specific page (Part 1), the page-level image will override the default for that page only. The other pages continue to show the form-level default.

If you later remove a page's cover image, that page automatically falls back to the form-level default.


What you now have

Each page of your Classic form can now have its own visual identity. Pages with a custom cover show their unique image; pages without one fall back to your form's default banner — or show no image if no default is set. The cover updates in preview and in the live published form, so respondents see the right image as they navigate between pages. Duplicating or reordering pages preserves their cover images.
