Export Responses

Export

Open a survey's report and go to the Exports tab, or use the export action on the responses list. Choose a format and download.

Formats

• CSV — one row per response, one column per question. The right choice for a spreadsheet or another system.
• Excel — the same data, formatted for Excel.
• PDF — a formatted report for sharing with people who will not open a spreadsheet.

Filters apply

Whatever you have filtered the responses to is what gets exported. To export everything, clear the filters first — see Filter Responses.

Large exports

A big export is prepared in the background and you are notified when it is ready, rather than the browser hanging on it.

Handling exported data

An export contains everything your respondents told you, including anything personally identifying. Once it leaves SurveyKar it is outside the access controls here — store it accordingly, and delete copies you no longer need. See Data Privacy.

Tip — Open a CSV of free-text answers with UTF-8 encoding selected, or accented characters and emoji will arrive mangled.
