Icon Select (Tile)

A visual grid of image tiles the user can select from, with configurable rows, columns, and aspect ratio.

The Icon Select field (labeled "Tile" in the sidebar) renders a grid of image-based options that users click to select. Each tile is backed by an image URL or base64 data. It is ideal for visual product selection, mood boards, style pickers, or any scenario where images are more effective than text labels.

For the shared properties available on all fields (label, help, note, key, width, visual styling, required), see the Form Fields Overview.
