Social media poll maker with a shareable voting link
Ask your audience a question and give every option its own picture. OutReply hosts the poll on a public page you can link from any post, story, bio or DM, counts one vote per visitor, and closes voting at the time you choose.
- An image or icon for each option
- Two-colour gradient backgrounds
- Optional closing time with a live countdown
- One vote per visitor (IP-based)
- Results in votes and percentages
How to run a poll for your followers
Write the question
Give the poll a title and a short description so voters know what they're choosing and why.
Add the options
Add two or more options and upload an image or icon for each one. Pick the two gradient colours for the page.
Set a closing time
Leave the poll open, or set an end date and time. Voters see a countdown until it closes.
Share and read results
Copy the poll link into your posts, bio or DMs. Voters see the results after they vote, and the winner is highlighted when it closes.
Why run polls outside the app
Native polls are stuck on one network and usually allow text only. A linked poll works everywhere you can paste a URL, so Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn and email subscribers all vote in the same place and you read one set of results.
Pictures on each option make visual choices easy: which colour, which design, which dish. When voting closes, the page highlights the winning option for everyone who visits.

Poll maker FAQ
Where can I share an OutReply poll?
Anywhere you can paste a link: post captions, Stories link stickers, your link in bio page, DMs, emails or your website. Each poll has its own public page on outreply.com.
Can people vote more than once?
Not from the same connection. The poll records one vote per IP address, so a visitor who has already voted can't vote again from that network.
Can I add pictures to poll options?
Yes. Each option can have its own uploaded image or icon, which makes visual choices like designs, colours or dishes easy to compare.
Can a poll close automatically?
Yes. Set a closing time when you create the poll. The public page shows a countdown, stops accepting votes at that time and highlights the winning option.
Is the poll maker free?
Yes. Polls are included on every OutReply plan, including Free, alongside the scheduler, link shortener and link in bio page.
