What is Survey Creator?
Survey Creator lets you build multi-question surveys with seven question types: multiple choice, dropdown, checkbox, text input, star rating, linear scale (great for NPS), and yes/no. Add skip logic to branch respondents based on their answers, preview the survey, share it, and export responses as JSON or CSV.
Each survey can mix multiple-choice, dropdown, checkbox, free-text, star-rating, linear-scale (0-10 NPS or custom range with endpoint labels), and yes/no questions, with required toggles per question and unlimited entries. Skip-logic rules on multiple-choice, dropdown, and yes/no answers route respondents to a later question or end the survey early, so long questionnaires don't ask irrelevant follow-ups. Responses are kept on your device and downloaded as JSON for re-import or CSV for opening in Excel, Google Sheets, or Notion's database view.
How to use
- Add questions by selecting a type — multiple choice, dropdown, checkbox, text, star rating, linear scale, or yes/no — and entering your question text and options.
- Reorder questions, mark them as required, and preview the survey as respondents will see it.
- Share the survey link or export the survey structure and collected responses as JSON or CSV.
When to use
- Running an after-meetup pulse poll without paying for a SurveyMonkey or Typeform plan.
- Collecting design feedback from a small beta group when you don't want a vendor seeing the data.
- Building an intake form for a workshop or class with a mix of profile and free-text questions.
Result
A team lead creates a 10-question employee satisfaction survey with rating scales for work-life balance, multiple choice for preferred perks, and open text for suggestions — then exports responses as CSV for analysis.
FAQ
- Can I send the survey link to people on a different network?
- The link encodes the survey definition itself, so anyone who opens it gets the same questions, but responses don't sync across people because everything lives locally. For shared collection, export the structure, send the survey, then ask each respondent to share their JSON back.
- How are responses stored?
- Responses live in your device's local storage as you submit them and are never sent to a remote server. Clearing site data wipes them, so export to CSV or JSON after each session if you need to keep results long term.
- Is there a limit to how many questions or responses I can create?
- There's no hard cap, but local storage typically holds a few megabytes per origin. A 30-question survey with 200 responses is well within budget; if you're running hundreds of submissions, export to CSV regularly to free space.
- Can I make a question required?
- Yes. Toggle the Required flag on any question in the editor and respondents can't submit until they answer it. Use this sparingly on free-text questions, since required text fields tend to lower completion rates.
- What format does the CSV export use?
- One row per response, one column per question, with the survey title and question text as headers. Multiple-choice answers come out as plain text values; checkbox answers are joined with semicolons so a spreadsheet can still split them later.
