What is the purpose of a poll maker?

Our free online poll creator adds an interactive element to your design. Polls help you gather instant feedback from an audience or group. They allow you to better understand the thoughts and opinions of your participants. The great thing about polls is that they’re versatile. Whether you’re collecting comments on a product or deciding on your next team activity, our poll creator is perfect for getting multiple responses quickly.

Is the Canva poll maker free?

Yes, our poll maker feature is completely free to use. Add polls to make your designs more interactive and dynamic. Simply go to the Elements tab and choose from the free poll templates under Polls and Quizzes. You can add more than one poll to your design.

How do you write a good poll question?

Keep your question straightforward and concise, and stick to one topic. Use engaging language that your poll participants can easily understand. To write a question on a Canva poll, click Edit on the toolbar on top and type your question. Take note that Canva polls can only accommodate a single text-based question at the moment.

How many options can I add to my poll?

You can add up to 10 options to your poll. You can also add, delete, and rearrange poll options.

How can participants answer my live poll?

Once you share the design with the participants, they just have to look for the poll and click on their choice. Their answers will automatically be recorded — it’s as simple as that!

Can I add polls on any Canva design?

At this time, you can add polls to any design except Canva Docs and Websites.

How can I find the results of my poll?

Everyone can see the results on the poll itself. Canva Pro accounts with editing permissions can access more poll insights by clicking the Responses tab on the toolbar. This will show the total poll responses, the number of people who chose each poll option, the responders, and their individual answers.

Can I download my poll results data?

Yes, you can easily download the poll results and export them as a CSV file. Just click Responses from the toolbar, and look for the Download as CSV button.

What’s the difference between a quiz and a poll?

Although polls and quizzes look similar, they have different purposes. Polls gather the opinions of a group and show what the majority thinks. On the other hand, quizzes test their knowledge and familiarity with a topic. In addition, a quiz has a “correct” answer, while a poll doesn’t. The good news is that polls and quizzes are available on Canva, so you can add either (or both) to your designs for free.
