Find answers to common questions about using Free Surveys

What is Free Surveys?

+

Free Surveys is a simple, powerful survey tool that lets you create and distribute surveys without requiring any signup or account creation. Our platform is designed to be easy to use while still providing all the essential features needed for effective surveys.

Do I need to create an account?

+

No! That's what makes Free Surveys unique. You can create surveys instantly without signing up, creating an account, or providing any personal information. We generate unique, secure links for both survey distribution and management.

How do I access my survey after creating it?

+

When you create a survey, we generate two special links:

  • Public link: Share this with respondents to collect responses.
  • Admin link: Save this link to access your survey's results and settings. Keep it secure!

We recommend bookmarking your admin link or saving it somewhere secure, as there's no way to recover it if lost.

Is Free Surveys really free?

+

Yes! Free Surveys is 100% free with no hidden costs or premium tiers. We believe in providing accessible survey tools for everyone. The service is supported by minimal, non-intrusive ads that don't interfere with your survey experience.

What types of questions can I include in my survey?

+

Free Surveys supports several question types to meet your survey needs:

  • Multiple choice: Single selection from predefined options
  • Checkboxes: Multiple selections from options
  • Short text: Brief text responses
  • Long text: Extended text responses for detailed feedback
  • Rating scales: Numerical ratings (1-5, 1-10, etc.)
  • Yes/No questions: Simple binary responses

How many questions can I add to a survey?

+

You can add up to 50 questions per survey. However, for best response rates, we recommend keeping surveys under 10-15 questions when possible, as shorter surveys typically have higher completion rates.

Can I make questions required or optional?

+

Yes, you can set any question as required or optional. Required questions must be answered before the respondent can submit the survey, while optional questions can be skipped.

Can I edit my survey after creating it?

+

Yes, you can edit your survey anytime using your admin link. However, please note that significant changes to question types or options may affect the consistency of your results if you've already received responses.

How do I view survey responses?

+

You can view responses through your survey's admin link. The results dashboard shows:

  • A summary of all responses
  • Charts and visualizations for multiple-choice questions
  • Individual response details
  • Options to filter and sort responses

Can I export my survey results?

+

Yes, you can export your survey results in CSV format, which can be opened in Excel, Google Sheets, or other spreadsheet programs for further analysis.

Is there a limit to how many responses I can collect?

+

Free Surveys allows up to 1,000 responses per survey. This limit helps us maintain performance and availability for all users while keeping the service free.

How long are my survey responses stored?

+

Survey responses are stored for 6 months from the last received response. If your survey continues to receive responses, the storage period extends automatically. You can also download your data anytime for permanent storage.

Is my survey data secure?

+

Yes, we take security seriously. All survey data is:

  • Transmitted over secure HTTPS connections
  • Stored with encryption at rest
  • Protected by unique access tokens
  • Never shared with third parties

What information does Free Surveys collect about me?

+

Since we don't require accounts, we collect minimal information. We only store:

  • Your survey questions and settings
  • Responses submitted to your survey
  • Basic usage metrics for system improvement

We do not collect personal information from survey creators, and we do not track individual respondents beyond what's explicitly asked in your survey questions.

Can I create anonymous surveys?

+

Yes, surveys can be completely anonymous. By default, we don't collect identifying information from respondents unless you specifically include questions asking for it. IP addresses are not stored with responses.

How can I delete my survey and all associated data?

+

You can delete your survey and all associated data at any time from the survey admin page. Once deleted, all survey questions, responses, and settings are permanently removed from our servers.
