This builder gives you all ten from a single click, and five ready-made templates — customer feedback, event RSVP, job application, course evaluation and client intake — get you to a finished draft in seconds. Add help text under any question, mark the essentials required, and drag to reorder; the live preview always shows exactly what a respondent will see. ### Theme it, then print, host, or reuse Pick one of seven accent colours and it flows through the preview, the PDF and the exported HTML. Not every survey lives online: the PDF export produces a clean paper form with proper answer spaces — lines for text, circles for choices, numbered scales for ratings — ready to photocopy. Want it on the web instead? The HTML export is a single self-contained file you can open in any browser or drop on your own site and wire to a handler. And the JSON export captures the whole structure so you can back it up or move it into another system. Your draft saves in your browser as you work. ## FAQ ### How do I create a questionnaire? Pick a template or start blank, add a title, then choose question types from the palette — text, email, number, date, multiple choice, checkboxes, rating, yes/no and more. Configure each, reorder by dragging, preview, and export a PDF, HTML form, or JSON. ### What question types are supported? Ten: short text, paragraph, multiple choice, checkboxes, dropdown, rating scale (1–3 up to 1–10, with optional low/high labels), yes/no, email, number, and date. Any question can be marked required and given help text. ### Are there ready-made templates? Yes. Five starter templates — customer feedback, event RSVP, job application, course evaluation, and new-client intake — load a complete draft you can then edit. ### Can I export the questionnaire as a real web form? Yes. The HTML export gives you a single self-contained file with your chosen theme colour that opens in any browser or hosts on your own site — connect the submit handler to start collecting responses. ### Can I print the questionnaire? Yes. The PDF export lays out a professional paper form with answer lines, choice circles, and numbered scales in your theme colour — ready to photocopy and distribute. ### Can I reuse or export the structure? Yes — export a JSON file that captures every question, option, help text and setting so you can back it up or import it into another tool. ### Is it free and private? Completely. There's no signup, and your questionnaire saves locally in your browser — nothing is uploaded to a server. --- ToolNova — free, privacy-first browser tools.
