Add forms and quizzes

Make your designs interactive with forms, polls, or quizzes. Collect feedback, run surveys, test knowledge, or engage your audience with up to 10 questions per form. You can also automatically generate quizzes based on your design's content using AI.

Add a form

Canva forms are available as preset designs, making it easy to quickly add structured, ready-made forms to your design without starting from scratch. These presets help you save time and ensure your form includes common fields and layouts that are easy for your audience to use.

  2. Select Responses. A panel that shows the responses should appear.
  3. Select

Note that if you make changes to your options after your poll/quiz has already collected entries, the data may reflect differently:

  • Deleting an option: The submissions will be labelled as “Inactive” since the deleted option will no longer be available in the poll or quiz.
  • Changing the correct answer in a quiz: The status of previous submissions will be altered to align with the new correct answer. For example, if you initially marked option A as correct and received submissions for option B, those would be marked as incorrect. However, if you later change the correct answer to option B, all prior submissions will now be considered correct.
  • Editing option labels: When you edit an option's label, all submissions will reflect this updated label. If the option is deleted, the label reverts to the one that was in place at the time of submission.

What are the limitations of Polls and Quizzes?

  • You can add up to 10 questions per form.
  • You can add up to 10 options per question.
  • You can insert 10 forms per page, and up to 20 forms per design.
  • Polls and quizzes can be added to all doctypes except Docs and Email.
  • Forms and quizzes must be shared via a Canva link to collect responses.
  • Response anonymity depends on the form’s settings. If name collection is off, responses are anonymous, even from logged-in users. If it’s on, names are collected from logged-in users and may be asked from others. On Canva Websites, responses are always anonymous. Names can’t be collected.
  • Forms won’t collect responses if downloaded as images, videos, or PDFs.
  • If you’re subscribed to Canva Pro, you can see the data insights.

This feature isn’t available to everyone just yet, but we’re working on getting it to the whole community. Keep an eye out for updates, it’ll be available to you soon!
