Introduction
Google Forms is a powerful tool that allows you to create online surveys, questionnaires, and more. By default, Google Forms are private and can only be accessed by individuals you invite. However, in some cases, you may want to make your Google Form public so that anyone with the link can access and fill it out. In this article, we will guide you through the process of making a Google Form public.
Step 1: Create a Google Form
The first step is to create your Google Form. Sign in to your Google account and navigate to Google Forms. Click on the "Blank" option to start creating a new form. Give your form a title and add the desired questions and options.

Once you have created your form, click on the "Settings" icon (the gear-shaped icon) located at the top-right corner of the page. A drop-down menu will appear.
Step 3: Configure the Form Settings
In the settings menu, you will find various options to customize your form. Scroll down until you see the "General" section. Here, you will find the "Form visibility" option.
