How can I change the layout of my Google Forms?

"How to make google form more compact?"- Google Docs Editors Community

In Google Forms, every question sits on its own card in one narrow column, with space around each one. On a long order or registration form, people scroll a long way to reach Submit. Google Forms lets you change the theme but not how the questions are laid out, and its embed code only sets the width and height. With Formfacade, you choose a Default, Comfortable or Compact layout for each form, so your users see more questions at a glance. The responses are still collected in your Google Form.

Create your form and follow the steps below.

How to change the form layout?

  • On the page that opens, name your form, click Build form and click Proceed. Your form opens on the "Preview" tab.
