How long should form fields be?

For form fields with a variable input (name or email) length but within a standard average, you should find a suitable width based on the average length of possible inputs. Studies show that those input fields typically range from 18 to 33 characters.

What makes a good online form?

Use multi-step forms if you have a high number of fields—it can reduce friction. Make your form fields different sizes based on the length of answer you expect. A form for zip code should be shorter than once for phone number. If you have error messages, it might be a good idea to add inline validation.

How wide should a form be?

A 45 to 75 characters width is considered as good, with 66 characters being optimal.
