Can I hyperlink a URL on my form?
### Using the Editor

You can turn any text or image on your form into a hyperlink. We have made it stress-free and allowed you to focus on making your form as personal as possible.

## Text

For text links, follow these steps:

 1. Simply type what text you wish to link to the URL. For example, "Click Here."
 1. Highlight this text and a formatting bar will appear above the text.

 1. Click on the link icon, add the URL, and hit enter.

When a respondent clicks on this text in the live version of your form, it will open the URL in a new tab.

## Images

Images can be hyperlinks too. Once you've [added an image to your form](https://paperform.co/help/articles/insert-images/), click on it to bring up the formatting bar. You can use the same link icon here.

## Gotchas

 - Technically speaking, buttons are not supported (unless you use [custom HTML](https://paperform.co/help/articles/what-is-html-and-css/), which is available on the specific plans). If you can create an image that looks like a button, though, you can always add that to your form and turn it into a hyperlink.

Happy form-making!
