Try it live
Turn one flat image into a guided walkthrough.
Hover a hotspot and a card explains that part — no extra pages needed.
Try it on this HVAC render: drag hotspots, add your own, or choose dot or pin markers on the right. Nothing is saved.
Workflow
From image or map to interactive embed in minutes.
Start with an image or map
Upload a photo, diagram, or floor plan, or start a geographic map and search for a location.
Add hotspots or pins
Place hotspots on your image or pins on your map. Add text, photos, video, and links to each popup.
Publish a clean embed
Copy one iframe into Wix, Webflow, WordPress, or any page that accepts HTML.
<div
style="position:relative;width:100%;padding-top:56.25%"
>
<iframe
src="https://interactiveimage.com/embed/YOUR-ID"
style="position:absolute;inset:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0"
scrolling="no"
loading="lazy"
></iframe>
</div>Replace YOUR-ID with the map ID from your Embed panel.
Embed architecture
One iframe. Every interaction.
Publishing turns your visual into a hosted, responsive experience. Paste one snippet into an HTML or embed block and the image, hotspots, cards, and updates travel with it.
Your page
The iframe reserves a responsive space inside Wix, Webflow, WordPress, Shopify, or custom HTML.
Hosted visual
Interactive Image serves the published image or map and its current hotspot content.
Percentage positions
Markers stay aligned as the visual scales from a desktop layout to a phone.
Live updates
Edit a hotspot once and every page using that iframe receives the latest version.
The short answer
What is an interactive image?
An interactive image is an ordinary photo, render, diagram, or plan with clickable hotspots placed on top of it. Hovering or tapping a hotspot opens a card with its own title, description, image, and link — so one visual can carry the detail that would otherwise need a page of text or a stack of annotated crops.
The part that matters technically is how those hotspots are stored. Here each one is a percentage of the image's width and height rather than a pixel coordinate, so a marker sitting on a valve, a room, or a product stays on it at every screen size. That is the difference between a modern interactive image and a classic HTML image map, whose fixed <area> coordinates drift as soon as the image scales.
You publish it as a single responsive iframe, which is why it drops into Wix, WordPress, Webflow, Shopify, Squarespace, or any page that accepts HTML without a plugin — and why editing a hotspot updates every page showing that image at once.
Common questions
- Do I need to design a new graphic?
- No. It works on the image you already have — a product photo, a CAD export, an architectural render, or a floor plan PDF exported as an image.
- Does it work on phones?
- Yes. Hotspots scale with the image and popups open as tap-friendly cards rather than hover tooltips.
- Do I need a developer?
- No. Placing hotspots is drag-and-drop, and publishing is copying one snippet into an HTML block.
- Can I change it after publishing?
- Yes. Hotspot content lives here, not in your site, so edits appear on every page holding the embed without re-copying anything.

Definition
What is an interactive image tool?
An interactive image tool layers clickable hotspots onto a flat image so each part of the picture can carry its own title, description, photo, video, and link. The result is one embeddable component instead of a stack of annotated screenshots: a product render that explains its own parts, a floor plan where every room opens its details, a seating chart that links each section to tickets.
The part that decides whether it holds up in production is how hotspot positions are stored. Interactive Image records them as percentages of the image and measures the rendered image box, so markers stay glued to the artwork from a 4K monitor down to a phone — the failure mode that makes classic pixel-coordinate image maps unusable on responsive sites.
| Approach | Responsive? | Rich popups? | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| HTML image map (<area>) | No — fixed pixels | No, links only | Legacy fixed-width pages |
| Hand-coded CSS or SVG overlay | Yes, with work | Only what you build | Developer-owned one-offs |
| Design tool export (Figma, Canva) | No embed produced | No | Static visuals and decks |
| Mapping platform | Yes | Yes | Real geography and coordinates |
| Interactive Image | Yes — images and geographic maps | Text, images, video, CTAs | Image hotspots and location pins embedded on a site |

Frequently asked questions
How do I make an image interactive?
Upload the image, drop hotspots where you want them, add text, photos, or links to each hotspot, then copy the generated iframe into your website.
Where can I embed an interactive image?
Anywhere you can paste an iframe, including Wix, Webflow, WordPress, Shopify, Squarespace, Framer, Notion, HubSpot, and custom sites.
Is Interactive Image free?
Yes. Free includes 1 map — an interactive image or a geographic map — with limited hotspots per map and a small Made with Interactive Image badge on embeds. Pins count toward the hotspot limit. Pro is $5/month and includes up to 500 maps, unlimited hotspots, no badge, and embed usage analytics.
Do interactive images work on mobile?
Yes. Hotspots scale with the image and open on tap, so the same embed works on desktop, tablet, and mobile.
What is an interactive image tool?
An interactive image tool takes a flat image and layers clickable hotspots on top of it, each holding its own text, photo, video, or link. Instead of one link per image, a visitor can explore the parts of a product, the rooms in a floor plan, or the sections of a venue map, all inside a single embeddable component.
How do I create an image map without coding?
Upload the image, click where each region should go, and describe it. Interactive Image stores each hotspot as a percentage of the image rather than fixed <area> pixel coordinates, then generates the responsive embed for you — no HTML, JavaScript, or plugin required.
Can I put pins on a geographic map?
Yes. Start a geographic map, search for a location, and click the map to place pins. Add text, photos, video, and links to each pin's popup, then embed the map on your website. You can also upload your own illustrated map or floor plan and add hotspots to it.
Can I make custom interactive maps from my own artwork?
Yes. Illustrated maps, campus plans, seating charts, trade-show layouts, and stylised world maps all work, because Interactive Image treats your artwork as the map instead of requiring geographic coordinates.
What is the difference between this and an HTML image map?
A classic HTML image map uses <map> and <area> tags with fixed pixel coordinates, so the clickable regions drift as soon as the image is scaled, and each region can only be a plain link. Percentage-based hotspots stay aligned at every width and can open rich cards with images, video, and buttons.
