Frequently asked questions

How do I convert a Google Doc to a Google Form?

Paste your Google Doc share link into Formswrite. The AI reads the document, extracts each question and its answer options, maps headings to form sections, and rebuilds everything as a Google Form in your Drive. There is no add-on to install and no file to download - just paste the link and review the result.

Do I need a Google Workspace add-on?

No. Formswrite is a standalone web app. You paste the Doc link, the conversion runs in the cloud, and the finished Google Form is pushed to your Drive. There is nothing to install in Google Docs or Google Forms.

Will my answer key carry over from the Google Doc?

Yes. If you mark correct answers in your Doc - for example with an asterisk, bold text, or a note like "(correct)" - Formswrite detects them and sets them as the quiz answer key in Google Forms. Review the key in the Formswrite editor before exporting to confirm accuracy.

What happens to headings and sections in my Doc?

Heading 1 and Heading 2 styles in your Google Doc map to section breaks in the Google Form, so a multi-part worksheet or multi-topic quiz keeps its structure after conversion. Plain body text before questions is carried across as section descriptions.

Is there a free way to convert a Google Doc to a Google Form?

You can start for free. The native Formswrite form and the flashcard export are free, so you can paste a Doc link and see all the extracted questions at no cost. Exporting the result to Google Forms is available on a paid plan.

What parts of a Google Doc need manual review after conversion?

Tables, footnotes, embedded images, and multi-column page layouts are the most common items to check. Tables are not a native Google Forms field type, so the AI may split them into individual questions - verify the reading order. Footnotes are stripped. Images inside the Doc are flagged for you to add manually.
