Photograph a paper form, upload the picture, and Formms rebuilds it as an online form. PNG, JPEG, WebP, and HEIC work, up to 8 MB. You can fill the preview without an account.
The tool is at form.ms/tools/image-to-form-converter. This walkthrough uses a photo of a Maya and Ben wedding RSVP.
1. Open the converter
Go to the Image to Form Converter. You will see a drop zone for a photo or scan.
2. Upload a readable photo
The sample card asks for guest name, whether they are coming, a meal choice, and optional dietary notes. Lay paper flat, fill the frame, and keep it the right way up. A straight-on phone photo in normal light is enough.
Click Choose an image or drop the file. The file is sent to Formms, read once, and is not kept.
If the result comes back empty, the page was usually upside down, cropped, too dark, or too blurry. Retake it. A PNG with a transparent background can also read as blank. Save as JPEG if you exported from a design tool.
3. Preview the rebuilt form
When conversion finishes, the same questions appear as a live form. Guest name is a short text field. Attending and meal choice are multiple choice. Dietary notes is a longer text field. Fill it in to check. You do not need an account. The draft is deleted after 7 days unless you save it.
4. Save if you want a link
Click Save this form free to keep it in a Formms account. Then you can edit questions, share a form.ms link or QR, and collect answers.
