Own the workflow and the data. SurveyKing brings content creation, publishing, responses, grading, practice, analytics, users, and permissions into one deployable system. Start with the embedded H2 database, then move to MySQL when you are ready for production.
Start SurveyKing with Docker and the built-in H2 database:
docker run -d \
--name surveyking \
-p 1991:1991 \
surveyking/surveyking:latest
Open http://localhost:1991 and sign in:
admin123456| Surveys | Exams | Question-bank practice |
|---|---|---|
| Build responsive forms with 20+ question types, conditional logic, themes, and publishing controls | Reuse question banks, configure answers and scores, randomize content, and grade submissions automatically | Offer sequential, random, and incorrect-answer practice with progress tracking on desktop and mobile |
| Create with AI, Excel, plain text, templates, or the visual editor | Analyze scores, answers, rankings, and question-level performance | Add answer explanations, favorites, notes, question flags, and AI-assisted explanations |
The survey and exam editor screenshots are localized in English. The remaining product screenshots currently show the Simplified Chinese interface. SurveyKing's interface can be switched between English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, Japanese, Korean, German, French, and Thai.
Design surveys visually, preview them on mobile, publish a respondent-friendly form, and turn collected responses into live reports.
