Add hotspots to my product photo. Pin 1 on the handle says "Ergonomic grip." Pin 2 on the blade says "Carbon steel." Make the pins pulse.

Done! I've placed two pulsing hotspot markers on your product photo with tooltip descriptions that appear on hover. The pins use your brand color and work on both desktop and touch devices.

What Is an Image Hotspot Widget?

An image hotspot widget overlays clickable markers on top of a photograph or illustration. Each marker — a dot, pin, or icon — is positioned at a specific point of interest. When visitors click or hover on a marker, a tooltip appears with a title, description, link, or even a thumbnail image. Retailers use hotspots to label product features on lifestyle photography. Architects annotate floor plans with room descriptions and dimensions. Travel companies mark destinations on maps. Educators highlight parts of a diagram. The result is a single image that contains layers of discoverable information, keeping the layout clean while making every detail accessible on demand.

Why Add Image Hotspots to Your Website?

Turn any image into a rich, interactive information layer

Pin Information Right Where It Matters

Hotspots attach context directly to the part of the image visitors are looking at. Instead of long captions below a photo, you place bite-sized info exactly where it belongs — on the product, on the room, on the feature itself.

Educate Without Overwhelming

Tooltips stay hidden until a visitor clicks or hovers, keeping your image clean. Details appear on demand — product specs, room dimensions, feature explanations — so the page stays scannable while the depth is always one click away.

Drive Clicks to the Right Place

Each hotspot can link to a product page, booking form, or any URL. Visitors do not need to hunt through menus — they see something they like in the image, tap the pin, and go straight to it. It shortens the path from interest to action.

Pulsing Markers That Invite Clicks

Each hotspot pin features a subtle pulsing animation that draws the visitor's eye without being distracting. The pulse signals interactivity — visitors immediately understand these are clickable. Tell the AI what color, size, or icon you want for your markers and it handles the rest.

Rich Tooltips with Text, Images & Links

Tooltips are not limited to plain text. Add a title, detailed description, thumbnail image, and a call-to-action button that links anywhere. Whether you are labeling a product feature or linking to a booking page, the tooltip can hold everything you need.

Responsive Pin Positioning

Hotspot positions are stored as percentages, so they stay perfectly aligned regardless of screen size. Whether the image is displayed full-width on a 4K monitor or compressed on a smartphone, every pin sits exactly where it should. No manual repositioning needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about image hotspot widgets

What is an image hotspot widget?

An image hotspot widget lets you place clickable markers — pins, dots, or icons — on top of an image. When visitors click or hover a marker, a tooltip pops up with text, links, images, or even buttons. It's used to annotate product photos, floor plans, maps, infographics, and any image that benefits from point-of-interest labeling.

How do visitors interact with hotspots?

Visitors click on a hotspot marker to open its tooltip. On desktop, you can also enable hover interaction so the tooltip appears as the cursor passes over the pin. On mobile, tap interaction works perfectly. Tooltips close when visitors click elsewhere or tap another hotspot.

Can I add links and images inside tooltips?

Yes. Each tooltip can contain a title, description, image, and a clickable button or link. You can direct visitors to product pages, booking forms, or any URL directly from the tooltip. Just tell the AI what content each hotspot should display.

How many hotspots can I place on one image?

You can add as many hotspots as you need. For readability, 3 to 8 pins usually works best on a single image, but the widget handles more if your use case requires it. The AI positions them so they don't overlap.

Will the hotspot widget slow down my website?

No. MightyWidgets loads asynchronously and never blocks your page from rendering. The hotspot markers and tooltips are lightweight HTML and CSS — no heavy libraries required. Your page loads first, then the widget appears seamlessly.

How do I add an image hotspot widget to my website?

Sign up for a free MightyWidgets account and describe what you need — for example, "add hotspots to my living room photo showing furniture details and prices." Upload your image and the AI places the pins. Tell it to move, add, or remove hotspots, then publish and paste the embed code into your site.

Do hotspot positions stay accurate on different screen sizes?

Yes. Hotspot positions are stored as percentages relative to the image, so they scale correctly on every screen size. Whether the image is displayed full-width on desktop or compressed on a phone, each pin stays exactly where you placed it.

Is MightyWidgets free to use?

You can create and customize widgets for free with our Free plan. Credits are used when your published widget loads on a visitor's browser and when you use AI features. Upgrade to a paid plan for more credits, widgets, and features. Top-up credit packs are also available and never expire.
