How to Create a Free Online Questionnaire in Four Steps?
Use a template, an AI prompt, or a blank canvas to start. From there it is four steps: build, refine, ship, and learn. Most teams launch their first questionnaire in under seconds.
STEP 1
Start from a template, a prompt, or a PDF
Use one of the free, pre-built templates or let the AI questionnaire maker create one based on your prompt. This feature saves you the effort of crafting each question from scratch, giving you a solid starting point.
STEP 2
Refine: question types, branching, and brand
Use the drag-and-drop interface to easily add or remove questions. You can include advanced fields like ratings or scales and customize your questionnaire with your own branding to make it truly yours.
STEP 3
Pilot, set the rules, and lock it down
Improve your questionnaire with smart features like question branching, form limiter, and auto-save.
These will help you guide respondents more smoothly and ensure you gather the data you need in an efficient and engaging way.
STEP 4
Publish, share, and watch responses land
Share your questionnaire through multiple channels. Publish it on social media, send it via email, or generate a QR code for easy sharing.
You can also embed the questionnaire on your website or collaborate with team members using multi-user access.
Use Our AI Questionnaire Maker that Built For Actual Research
Create, customize, and share professional questionnaires and surveys in seconds. It helps you collect better responses, automate workflows, partial-submission recovery, drop-off analytics, and analyze results without any coding.
Templates that fit real research
Pick from market-research questionnaires, employee engagement, customer satisfaction, NPS, Likert-scale assessments, course evaluations, and event feedback. Every template ships with question logic and scoring already wired up. You change the words; the structure stays the same.
AI Generated Questions that takes a PDF, a list, or a prompt
Paste a research brief and get a full questionnaire back. Upload a PDF (study protocol, training deck, course outline) and the AI builds questions grounded in the source. Or paste your existing question list and let the AI structure it, score it, and apply skip logic.
Custom Branding
Add your logo, colors, fonts, and a custom domain. Match the questionnaire to a campaign or a study.
Smart Logic and Personalization
Show, hide, or branch questions based on previous answers. Skip whole sections for respondents they don't apply to. Pipe earlier answers into later questions for context. Set up branching in plain English ("if role is contractor, hide salary section") and Formester converts it.
1,000+ integrations, plus webhooks and an MCP server
Native connections to HubSpot, Google Sheets, Slack, Stripe, PayPal, Calendly, GA4, n8n, Pabbly Connect, Mailgun, SendGrid, and Outlook. Add Zapier for the long tail. For developers, Formester ships a public REST API and an MCP server, so Claude or ChatGPT can read responses directly.
Real-Time Reports and Insights
Watch responses land in real time. The dashboard shows completion rate, drop-off rate by page, average time spent, and a per-question breakdown for choice and rating fields. Partial Submissions captures answers from respondents who never reached the submit button, so you don't lose insight to incomplete sessions.
Powerful Features that researchers, marketers and ops teams actually use
Six powerful features that make the difference between data you act on and data you toss out.
Question Branching
Show or hide whole sections based on previous answers. A researcher sees the researcher block; an employee sees the employee block; nobody sees what doesn't apply to them. Branching cuts apparent length, which lifts completion rate.
Partial Submission Recovery
Capture answers from respondents who close the tab on question 12. The dashboard surfaces partial responses next to full ones, so you can see where people drop off and what they answered before they left. Many basic form tools throw partial data away; Formester does not.
Email Autoresponder with Conditional Triggers
Send a follow-up the moment a respondent submits a response. Branch the email by their answer (different copy for "promoter" vs "detractor", different attachment for "interested" vs "evaluating"). Use it to thank, route, schedule, or kick off the next step.
Scoring and Weighted Ranking
Assign points per answer, weight some questions heavier than others, and apply pass thresholds. Useful for lead scoring, NPS calculations, employee assessments, and academic evaluations. Show the score on the thank-you page or keep it admin-only.
Form Limiter
Cap the questionnaire at a number of responses, an open window, or a per-respondent rule (one submission per email or per IP). Useful for sample-size targets, time-bounded studies, and exclusive-access campaigns.
QR Code Generation
Make your questionnaire more accessible by generating a unique QR code. This feature allows respondents to access your questionnaire quickly by simply scanning the code with their mobile device.
Questionnaire Templates with the Structure already Built
Forty-plus questionnaire templates across research, HR, customer feedback, and academic use. Every one ships with question logic, scoring, and a sensible default field order. You change the words; the structure works.
USER TESTIMONIALS
What customers say after they shipped Questionnaires
Formester is really easy to use and an exceptional alternative for Typeform. We use it for call for papers, lead registrations, feedback and surveys and it cannot be simpler.
JilsonOrganiser at Vue Conference
Formester is simple enough for non-developers and sophisticated enough for developers. I'd say being able to choose between simplicity and complexity is one of this product's strengths. In addition, the founder is available to answer questions and doubts, which does not happen every day.
Costanza CasulloVolunteer at Wato Coding Hub
Formester AI form builder has lots of customisation options. It's very easy to generate online forms. Forms generated are also very user friendly it supports both mobile and desktop version. It also allows us to build our own custom themes. File upload is also possible in surveys. I love the simplicity with which I can create forms within couple of minutes without any coding knowledge. The UI is very attractive and easy to use. No prior experience is required to use it.
Deepika KBusiness Development Executive at
Tried like 4 quiz tools for our lead gen funnel before this and honestly this is the only one I didn't end up hating. AI did most of the work and the customization actually works.
AlexCustomer Success Manager at Orion Growth Partners
Very intuitive and the surveys look genuinely professional out of the box. Most importantly, I requested a custom rating scale and they shipped it within hours. Stellar support that is hands-down better than the Jotform.

I'm migrating my forms from Paperform, where I've been a user for over 4 years. Loving the software so far! I've already replaced Paperform form embeds & popups on my sites & my husband's websites with Formester forms

FAQs
A questionnaire maker is a tool that helps you create and share questionnaires online. It lets you add questions, customize the design, and collect responses in one place without technical skills.
Yes. The free plan includes 10 questionnaires, 100 responses per month, all field types, the AI questionnaire generator, drop-off analytics, payment collection, and templates. Conditional logic and PDF export start at the Personal plan ($13/month). Branded URLs and team seats start at Business ($49/month). No credit card to start.
Three ways: pick a template from the questionnaire category, paste a brief and let the AI generator build the structure, or upload a PDF (study protocol, training deck, course outline) for the AI to ground questions in your source. Edit, apply branding, set skip logic, and ship by link, QR, or embed.
You describe the questionnaire ("post-event satisfaction for a B2B conference, 12 questions, mostly Likert"), upload a PDF for grounding, or paste a list of questions for the AI to format and score. The AI returns a full draft with field types, skip logic, and scoring already wired up. You edit before publishing. Per our DPA, your prompts and uploads are not used to train the AI or to advertise to you.
Single choice, multiple choice, dropdown, rating, Likert scale, matrix, picture choice, short answer, paragraph, file upload, and signature. The AI generator auto-creates single, multiple, dropdown, and true/false out of the box. You add the rest manually after the AI builds the structure.
Question branching shows different questions based on a person’s previous answer. This keeps questionnaires relevant and helps you collect more accurate responses.
Yes. Partial submission recovery allows you to capture responses even if a user leaves before completing the questionnaire.
You can share your questionnaire using a direct link, email, QR code, or by embedding it on your website. This makes it easy for anyone to respond from any device.
A questionnaire is the instrument: a structured set of written questions designed to collect specific information. A survey is the entire research process that uses the questionnaire, including sampling, distribution, and analysis. A medical history form is a questionnaire; a study using it across 400 patients is a survey. Formester helps you build the questionnaire and run the survey end to end.
For most use cases, 10-15 questions and under 10 minutes. The Drag'nSurvey study shows completion rates above 80 percent for surveys under 10 minutes vs about 20 percent for long surveys. If you need more depth, split into a screener (under 5 questions) and a follow-up sent only to qualified respondents.
No. Per the Formester DPA, customer data is not used for analytics, advertising, marketing, or product training. Encryption in transit (TLS) and at rest. Annual third-party penetration testing. Compliant with GDPR,; the security page lists current compliance status.
Yes. The free plan supports 100 responses per month and includes anonymous submissions, partial submission recovery, all field types, and CSV export for SPSS or R. The AI generator can draft questions from a study protocol PDF. For larger sample sizes, the Personal plan ($13/month) lifts to 1,000 responses, and Business ($13/month → $49/month) goes to 15,000.
