Form Matcher › Google Forms custom options

Google Forms custom options, explained

People search for a "custom" Google Form and mean different things: a custom theme, a custom font, a custom link, custom CSS. Here is each one, what Google Forms does on its own, and how to get the parts it doesn't.

Custom theme and header image

Built in. Click the palette icon in Google Forms to pick a header image (your own, or one of Google's), a theme color and a background color. Upload a header around 1600 × 400 pixels so it isn't cropped.

Custom colors

Partly built in. Google Forms lets you add your own theme color, but it applies that one color in its own way. To set separate colors for headings, text, fields, borders and buttons, use Form Matcher.

Custom fonts

Partly built in. Google Forms offers a short list of fonts for headers, questions and text. For any of the 1,939 Google Fonts, your website's own font or your brand font file, see how to use any font in Google Forms.

Custom thank-you message

Built in. In Google Forms, open Settings, then Presentation, and edit the Confirmation message.

Custom redirect after submit

Not built in. Google Forms always shows its own confirmation page. With Form Matcher you can send people to any page on your site after they submit.

Custom link or domain

Google gives you a forms.gle short link, but you can't choose the words or use your own domain. The usual fix is to put the form on a page of your own site, like yoursite.com/contact, using an embed. Every Form Matcher form also gets a clean share link.

Custom CSS

Not possible in Google Forms. Form Matcher lets you add your own CSS to the branded version, targeting .fm-card, .fm-title, .fm-label, .fm-input, .fm-choice and .fm-button.

Custom layout and background

Not built in. Form Matcher adds card, no-card and two-column layouts, a max width, transparent or gradient backgrounds and a frosted glass card, so the form blends into your page.
