Activate image citations
This step-by-step guide shows you how to display images in your agent's responses when image-based citations are present.
Image citation
Image citation replaces the first inline citation in a response with the related image. This helps make answers more visual and easier to understand.
When this option is enabled:
- If the response includes an inline citation linked to an image, the image will be shown directly below the first paragraph where the citation appears.
- The first citation will be replaced by the image. Other instances of the same citation will remain unchanged.
- The image appears only if it was used to generate the response.
Activate image citations
- Go to your agent and click Personalize.
- Navigate to the Citations tab.
- Under Citation Types, enable Numbered references (inline citations).
- Toggle on Render image citations inline.
- Scroll down to Limit the height of image citation. (Recommended to keep your chat area clean and readable.)
- Once the toggle is on, set Maximum images per response - choose how many image previews can appear in a single response: 1, 2, 3, or Unlimited.
This setting controls how many image previews are rendered in a single agent response. If a response cites more sources than the selected limit, only the first images are shown as previews. The rest fall back to numbered references.
Use a lower limit if your agent is primarily used on mobile, or if responses tend to cite many sources.
- Click Save Settings to enable the feature.
Note:
- When enabled, images resize to fit the chat bubble width while maintaining proper proportions (1.91:1 ratio).
- This feature is available on all plans.
