Dear @Ann Denny,

Thank you for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.

Based on your description, you would like to know whether Microsoft Forms allows adding custom images or logos as backdrops or headers in your form.

Microsoft Forms lets you upload your own custom images and logos, but only in specific places:

Form Header (Logo / Banner Area)

You can upload: a custom logo or A custom header image

How to do it:

1. Open your form > Click the header section
2. Select Insert Image
3. Choose Bing Image Search, OneDrive, or Upload from your device

This image appears on the left side of the header next to your form title.

Background, Theme Image

You can also upload your own background image using the Theme panel:

1. Click Style or Theme in the top toolbar
2. Choose + Add Background Image
3. Upload your own image from your device, OneDrive, or Bing

However, you cannot fully control scaling of background images. Forms will automatically crop/stretch them. And you cannot place multiple custom images around questions or adjust layout margins.

You can add your own images, logos and custom header/background images, but Forms does not offer full branding control like custom layout, exact positioning, or turning off image scaling.

If you need deeper branding control, embedding the Form inside your own web page and applying CSS is currently the only workaround.

I hope information above helpful, if you have any other questions, please feel free to reach out.

In Microsoft Forms, you can customize certain aspects, such as adding your own logo. However, the customization options for images are limited. You can add a logo to the form, but there are no specific options to customize the background images or headers with your own images. The main customization available is to change the logo and apply a theme to your form.
