What is Survey Maker?
Survey Maker helps you create a free online survey or form with Google Forms — it sends you straight to the right starting point: a blank form, a ready-made template, or a form that collects responses in Google Sheets. Google Forms then handles response collection, live charts, and spreadsheet export; share the link and anyone can respond.
Key features
- One-click jump to a blank Google Form (forms.new)
- Template gallery: feedback, RSVP, quiz, contact, and more
- Responses flow into a sortable Google Sheets spreadsheet
- Share the form link by chat or email to collect answers
How to make a survey with Google Forms
Building a survey from scratch is the easy part; the hard part is collecting and reading responses — deduping submissions, drawing charts, exporting to a spreadsheet. Google Forms already does all of that for free, so rather than reinvent it, this tool is a launcher: three buttons that drop you at the right Google Forms starting point in a new tab. Think of it as a shortcut, not a separate form builder — the actual form lives in your Google account.
The three starting points
- Create a Google Form opens a blank form instantly via the
forms.newshortcut — the fastest path when you already know your questions. - Browse templates opens Google's template gallery: feedback, RSVP, event registration, contact info, quiz, and more, each with sensible questions already in place to edit down.
- Collect responses in Sheets starts you toward a form whose answers feed a linked Google Sheets spreadsheet, so every submission lands as a new row you can sort, filter, and chart.
Building and sharing the form
Inside Google Forms you add questions of many types — short answer, paragraph, multiple choice, checkboxes, dropdown, linear scale, multiple-choice grid, date, time, and file upload. Reorder them by dragging, mark any as required, and split long surveys into sections. When it's ready, hit Send and share the link in a chat or email, embed it on a page, or post it anywhere; anyone with the link can respond in their browser, no account needed on their end.
Responses collect on the form's Responses tab, which shows automatic summary charts (bar charts for choices, histograms for scales). Click the Sheets icon there to pipe everything into a spreadsheet, or download the raw data as CSV for your own analysis.
Settings worth knowing before you send
- Anonymous by default. Google Forms doesn't record who submitted unless you turn on "Collect email addresses" in settings. If you promised anonymity, leave that off — and know that enabling "Limit to 1 response" forces respondents to sign in with a Google account, which is a real friction and privacy trade-off.
- Quiz mode turns the form into an auto-graded quiz with correct answers and point values — the right choice for a knowledge check rather than an opinion survey.
- Accepting responses is a toggle: switch it off to close the survey after your deadline.
What this tool does and doesn't touch
This launcher only opens Google. It has no form builder of its own and stores nothing — no survey question or response ever passes through Spellkit. That also means the requirements are Google's: you need a Google account to create and own a form, and the finished form plus all its responses live in your Google Drive under Google's terms. If you'd rather not use a Google account at all, this isn't the route for you; it's specifically the fast path into Google Forms.
Frequently asked questions
- Does this tool build the survey itself?
- No — it's a launcher, not a form builder. Three buttons open Google Forms in a new tab: a blank form via the forms.new shortcut, the template gallery, or a Sheets-linked form. The actual survey is created and owned inside your Google account.
- Where do the responses go and how do I read them?
- Responses collect on the form's Responses tab, which shows automatic summary charts. Click the Sheets icon there to pipe every submission into a linked Google Sheet as one row each, or download the raw data as a CSV for your own analysis.
- Do people need a Google account to answer?
- Not usually — anyone with the link can respond in their browser. The exception is if you enable 'Limit to 1 response,' which forces respondents to sign in with a Google account. You, as the form's creator, always need a Google account.
- Are the responses anonymous?
- By default yes — Google Forms doesn't record who submitted unless you turn on 'Collect email addresses' in settings. If you've promised anonymity, leave that option off, and remember that requiring one response per person also removes anonymity by forcing sign-in.
- Does Spellkit see or store my survey data?
- No. This tool only routes you to Google Forms; no question you write or answer you collect ever passes through Spellkit. Once you're in Google Forms, the form and all responses live in your Google Drive under Google's own terms.
Privacy
This tool only routes you to Google Forms — no data you'd enter into an actual survey passes through Spellkit at all; Google's own terms apply once you're there.
