Survey Maker
Build a survey in minutes, share one link, and watch the responses come in. No account needed to create or answer, and your results stay private to you.
Overview
A survey asks several questions at once, so you can collect feedback, sign-up details or opinions in one go instead of a string of polls. Survey Maker gives you six question types: multiple choice (one answer), checkboxes (several answers), a rating scale from 0 or 1 up to 10, yes/no, and short or long text.
Mark any question as required and respondents can't submit until they have answered it. Choose anonymous responses, where nothing identifying is stored, or named responses, where each respondent enters a name that only you can see. A survey can close automatically at a time you pick, or stay open until you close it.
Results are for your eyes only. The results page shows how many people responded and when, a chart for every choice, rating and yes/no question, the average of each rating, and the latest text answers. You can browse every individual response and download them all as a CSV file to open in Excel, Google Sheets, Numbers or any other spreadsheet.
Examples & Sample Data
Event feedback
Title: Workshop feedback. Questions: How would you rate the workshop? (rating 1–5, required), What did you like most? (long text), Would you attend another session? (yes/no, required).
A link to send to attendees. The results page shows the average rating with a breakdown of each score, the share who said yes, and the latest written comments. Export every response as a CSV.
Product research
Questions: Which features do you use? (checkboxes, pick up to 3), How likely are you to recommend us? (rating 0–10), Anything we should improve? (short text). Anonymous responses, closes in 30 days.
Each feature's share of respondents, the distribution of recommendation scores and the latest suggestions, with the survey closing automatically after 30 days.
How It Works
- Give your survey a title and, optionally, a short description.
- Add up to 50 questions. For each one pick a type (multiple choice, checkboxes, rating scale, yes/no, short text or long text), write the question and mark it required if it must be answered.
- Choose whether responses are anonymous or named, and optionally when the survey closes.
- Create the survey, then share its link. Keep the private results link: it is how you see responses if you are not signed in.
- Open the results page to see charts and averages, browse individual responses, and export everything to CSV.
Common Use Cases
Customer and event feedback
Collect ratings and comments after a purchase, a support ticket, a workshop or a meetup.
Team and classroom check-ins
Run a quick pulse survey, a retrospective or a course evaluation with anonymous answers so people answer honestly.
Research and sign-ups
Gather preferences, availability or registration details and export them to a spreadsheet for follow-up.
Tips & Best Practices
- Keep surveys short. Every extra question lowers the number of people who finish, so only ask what you will actually use.
- Only mark a question required when you truly need the answer. Too many required questions make people give up.
- Use a rating scale with labels on both ends, such as "Not likely" and "Very likely", so everyone reads the numbers the same way.
- You can edit a survey freely until the first response arrives. After that it is locked so every answer matches the question that was asked, but you can duplicate it and edit the copy.
- Save the private results link when it appears. If you weren't signed in, it is the only way to see your responses, and it can't be recovered.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. Anyone with the link can respond. You don't need an account to create a survey either, though signing in lets you find all your surveys in your account and see their results from any device without the private link.
Only you. Results, individual responses and the CSV export are shown to the account that created the survey, or to anyone holding its private results link. Respondents never see other people's answers.
Their answers, the time they responded and a one-way hash of a random token kept in their browser, used only to stop the same browser responding twice. IP addresses are never stored. On a survey with anonymous responses turned off, the name a respondent types is stored too and shown only to you.
Each browser can respond once. Clearing cookies or switching to another browser or device lets a person respond again, so treat the survey as a friendly feedback tool, not a secure ballot.
Yes, until the first response arrives. Once someone has responded the questions are locked, so every stored answer matches the question it was given for. You can still close or delete the survey, or duplicate it and edit the copy.
On the results page, choose Export CSV. You get one row per response and one column per question, with multiple checkbox answers separated by semicolons. The file opens in Excel, Google Sheets, Numbers and LibreOffice.
Up to 50 questions, with up to 20 options each for multiple-choice and checkbox questions, and up to 5,000 responses per survey.
No. A survey is only reachable by its link and is hidden from search engines, so only people you share the link with are likely to find it.
