The six steps

  1. Upload the image. Drop the image into a new project inside Interactive Image.
  2. Enter add mode. Click the Add hotspot button. Your cursor turns into a crosshair.
  3. Click to place hotspots. Click anywhere on the image to drop a hotspot. Drag it to fine-tune the exact position.
  4. Write the popup. Give the hotspot a title, description, optional image or video, and an optional CTA button.
  5. Style the markers. Choose dot, numbered, pin, or plus. Set the global color, then override any hotspot individually.
  6. Embed it. Copy the iframe and paste it into your website.

Which marker style should you pick?

  • Dot — clean, minimal, great for product photography.
  • Numbered — best for guided tours or step-by-step diagrams.
  • Pin — familiar map-pin metaphor for locations or floor plans.
  • Plus — subtle, works well over dense technical drawings.
