Free poll maker

Type your question, add the options and publish a poll with its own results page, with no account needed to start.

Make a poll

The poll editor loads here and needs no account. If it does not load in your browser, the button below takes you to a free sign-up, and you can build the poll from your dashboard.

What a poll includes

How it works

  1. Step 1

    Write the poll

    Type the poll title and your options in the editor above. Change the poll type underneath if you want a rating, a ranking or a word cloud.

  2. Step 2

    Publish it

    Open the Share tab and press Publish. The poll goes live straight away and you get its link, QR code and embed snippets.

  3. Step 3

    Collect votes

    Send the link, show the QR code or embed the poll. Open the results link to see the counts change as people vote.

  4. Step 4

    Keep it

    A poll published without an account is kept for 7 days. Sign in with an emailed link to keep it longer, edit it and export the votes.

When you need more than a poll

A poll is built for one quick question. For several questions, skip logic or file uploads, start from a form instead. It uses the same free account.

Poll maker questions

Is the poll maker free?
Yes. All 9 question types, the results page, the QR code and the 8 embed styles are on the Free plan. A free account can have 5 open polls at a time, so close an old poll to make room for a new one. There is no set cap on votes per poll. Our fair-use policy applies. Paid plans remove the "Made with PulseFormCreator" badge, and the details are on the pricing page.
Do I need an account to make a poll?
No. Build the poll on this page, open the Share tab and publish. A poll published without an account is kept for 7 days. To keep it longer, edit it or see the votes in a dashboard, sign in with a link we email you. There is no password.
Do voters need to sign up?
No. Voters open the link and vote. A poll does not ask for a name or email unless you add the optional contact step, and that step shows your consent text before anything is sent.
Can someone vote more than once?
You choose between two settings. The standard setting allows one vote per browser, using a cookie. The stricter setting also checks a one-way hash of the voter's IP address and browser, and blocks a second vote from the same source for 24 hours. PulseFormCreator saves the hash. The IP address itself is never stored.
How do the results update?
Every poll has a results page at its own link. It shows the current counts and changes as each vote arrives, so you can leave it open without reloading. Voters are shown the results after they vote.
Can I put a poll on my website?
Yes. After you publish, the Share tab gives you 8 embed styles: inline frame, full page, popup, slide-in panel, popover, side tab, chat bubble and feedback button. Pick one, copy the snippet and paste it into your page.
Can I download the votes?
Yes. Sign in to attach the poll to your account, then export the votes as a CSV or Excel file from the dashboard. Export is included on the Free plan.
