How it works
Pirai AI handles the formatting. SurveyMonkey handles the import. You paste once and review.
Go to platform.piraiai.com. Upload your file or paste text. Select SurveyMonkey as the output platform. For scanned paper surveys, enable Advanced PDF Processing. Pirai AI generates correctly formatted text for SurveyMonkey Paste Your Content.
Download the Pirai AI .txt file. Open it, select all the content, and copy it. Review the converted survey in the workspace first if needed — use Smart Fix, AI Survey Editor, or Table View to make changes before downloading.
In SurveyMonkey, click Create Survey and select Paste Your Content. On the Import Questions screen, paste your copied content. Use the Preview section on the right to check how questions are being recognised in real time. Click Add Questions. You can then give the survey a title, edit question types, and customise as needed.
SurveyMonkey recognises Multiple Choice and Single Textbox question types via paste. After import you can edit, switch question types, and add additional formatting in the survey editor. SurveyMonkey official Paste Your Content documentation ↗

After import, all question types can be edited and switched inside the SurveyMonkey designer. Pirai AI structures the text to maximise accurate detection by SurveyMonkey's AI.
