If you're wondering why you cannot export spreadsheets with images, this is because CSV is a plain text format that can only store characters and symbols and support text data unless both the program generating it and the program reading it agrees on a format. It is a great format for storing and sharing structured data but has limitations when storing non-textual data, such as images.

While it may be possible to include images in a CSV file, it would require significant additional coding to convert them back to their original format, which goes against the purpose of a CSV file.

Although we acknowledge that exporting spreadsheets with images is not possible at this time in Gather, we suggest watching the video below as a workaround. This is presently the most viable alternative solution we can offer. Check this out 👇
