You need a new Google Form, and the right starting point depends on whether you want a blank form, a template, a quiz, or a form tied to a spreadsheet. The fastest path is still Google Forms in a browser, but Google also supports Drive, Sheets, mobile web, shortcuts, and Gemini for eligible accounts. Use the route below that matches how you want to start.
1. Start a blank form in Google Forms
This fixes the basic need to create a Google Form from scratch. Open forms.google.com in a web browser, then click Blank form.
Click the untitled form name and rename it. After that, edit the form by adding the questions and fields you need.
2. Pick a template instead of building from nothing
Go to forms.google.com, then open Template gallery. Select a template that matches what you are making, and update the title and questions so the form fits your needs. Template availability can vary by account language, Workspace organization, and administrator-provided templates.
3. Open a new form with forms.new
This fixes the extra clicks when you already know you want a new blank form. Click your browser address bar, enter forms.new, and sign in when Google asks you to.
Once that finishes, edit the new blank form.
4. Create a form from Google Drive
Open drive.google.com. Click New, then select Google Forms.
5. Attach a new form to a Google Sheet
This fixes the need to collect form responses from a spreadsheet you already have open. Open a spreadsheet in Google Sheets, click Tools, and select Create a new form.
Use the new sheet that appears in the spreadsheet. Then edit the form that opens.
6. Turn the form into a quiz
Open a form in Google Forms. Click Settings, then turn on Make this a quiz.
For the quickest quiz start, open g.co/createaquiz and edit the new quiz form.
7. Use mobile web and check account access
On Android, open a mobile browser such as Chrome, go to forms.google.com, tap Blank form, and name the untitled form. Google describes Forms as usable from a mobile browser, and no official Google Forms native mobile app is required. On a work or school account, the administrator controls Forms through Google Admin console > Apps > Google Workspace > Drive and Docs > Google Forms, and Drive must also be turned on.
8. Reuse an existing form or import old questions
To copy a form, open the existing form in Google Forms, open More, choose Make a copy, then save and edit the copy.
To reuse questions, open a form, click Add question, choose Import questions, select the source form, click Select, check the questions you want, and click Import questions. You need enough access to the original form before you can copy it or import questions from it.
9. Draft a form with Gemini
This fixes the blank-page problem when you want Google to generate a starting draft.
- 1.On your computer, open a new form in Google Forms.
- 2.Use the window that opens to enter a prompt describing the form, or click Help me create a form in the toolbar.
- 3.Click Create.
- 4.Review or edit the generated draft.
- 5.Click Create form.
Gemini in Google Forms is desktop only, requires an eligible Google Workspace or Google AI plan, and is rolling out gradually. It can also use Drive files such as Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, or PDFs as source material when you prompt it.
