What is Google Forms?

Editorial review
Google Forms is a free, no-frills form builder that's part of Google Workspace (formerly G Suite). It's the go-to choice for educators, small teams, and anyone who needs simple surveys or quizzes without the complexity of dedicated form tools. The killer feature is seamless integration with Google Sheets - responses automatically populate a spreadsheet in real-time. Google Forms supports multiple question types, image uploads, quiz scoring with automatic grading, and basic conditional logic. While it lacks the visual polish and advanced features of Typeform or JotForm, its simplicity and zero cost make it ideal for internal surveys, classroom quizzes, and quick data collection.
