A custom link for your Google Form
Google Forms can only shorten a form to a random forms.gle address. With FormURL you choose the words: formurl.com/to/open-day-rsvp instead of a string of random characters. Paste your form’s link, type the words, and share it. It’s free, and your first link needs no account.
Make your custom link
- 01
Copy your form’s link
In Google Forms, click Send and copy the link from the link tab.
- 02
Paste it into FormURL
Paste it into the Form URL field on formurl.com.
- 03
Type your words
Choose the words for the end of the link. FormURL tells you right away whether they’re taken.
- 04
Create and share
Copy the link, or download its QR code for print.
Choosing good words
- Say what the form is for: staff-survey, open-day-rsvp, volunteer-signup.
- Keep it short enough to read aloud and type on a phone.
- Separate words with hyphens so they’re easy to read.
- Add a year or term if you run the same form again, like summer-signup-2027.
Links under your own name
Sign in and pick a username, and your new links can live under it: formurl.com/your-name/open-day. If you change your username later, links under the old name keep working and lead to the new address.

Questions
Can I use my own domain for Google Form links?
Not yet. Custom domains, like links.yourcompany.com, are planned for a future Pro plan. Today every link is on formurl.com.
What if the words I want are taken?
FormURL tells you as you type. Try adding a place, a date, or your organization’s name.
Do I need an account?
No. Your first link needs no account. Sign in with email or Google to keep your links on any device, edit them, and see their analytics.
