There are small and big steps to creating a masterpiece and here we are going to focus on how each step plays a role in customizing the form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before starting with the customization process, first, create and <a href=\"https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/make-google-forms\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/make-google-forms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">set up Google Forms<\/a>. Once you&#8217;ve created a new form, go through the below steps to customize it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"1-customize-questions\">1. Customize Questions<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>STEP 1<\/strong>. To elevate your Google Form, you can first start by customizing your question tab. Aside from all the question types available in Google Forms, you can add images and videos to make it more engaging, especially in the case of a quiz form. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can add photos through Webcam or upload them from your device or add them from Google Photos. In it, users can align the image, resize it, or even add a caption to it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"647\" src=\"https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/customize-google-forms-questions-1024x647.webp\" alt=\"customize-google-forms-questions\" class=\"wp-image-3696\" srcset=\"https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/customize-google-forms-questions-1024x647.webp 1024w, https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/customize-google-forms-questions-300x190.webp 300w, https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/customize-google-forms-questions-768x485.webp 768w, https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/customize-google-forms-questions-1536x970.webp 1536w, https:\/\/extendedforms.io\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/customize-google-forms-questions.webp 1944w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>STEP 2:<\/strong> Then you can also take it up a notch with the &#8216;File Upload&#8217; question field, it is great to use if you want a document or portfolio file from your public. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>STEP 3:<\/strong> Further, you can add a title and description in between questions to make it more systematic and organized.
