Answers arrive structured
Every response lands as data you can filter, summarise, and export to CSV, instead of a folder of scans somebody has to read.

Why convert a PDF instead of emailing it
A PDF has to be printed, filled by hand, scanned, and typed back out. An online form skips all four steps and the answers arrive already sorted.
Field types, not just text boxes
Dates become date pickers, choices become radio buttons, ratings become scales. The form validates as people fill it.
Works on a phone
A PDF is close to unusable on a phone screen. The converted form is built mobile first, so people finish it.
Nothing retyped
Manual transcription is where the errors and the hours go. Removing that step is usually the whole reason to convert.
What people convert
Client intake forms
Clinics, salons, studios, and agencies turn the printed first-visit sheet into a link sent before the appointment.
Job applications
An application PDF becomes a form candidates can complete on a phone, with every answer in one place.
Registration and sign-up sheets
Course, event, and membership sign-ups stop living on paper at a front desk.
Order and request forms
Order sheets, maintenance requests, and internal approvals become something you can track.

Frequently asked questions
What kinds of PDF work best?
Any PDF where the questions are visible on the page. Both born-digital PDFs and scanned ones work, because the file is read as a page rather than as text.
Does it handle a PDF that is not a form?
Yes. If the document describes a topic rather than listing questions, such as a brief or a policy, it designs a short form that fits the document instead of inventing a questionnaire.
Is it free?
Yes. Converting and previewing costs nothing and needs no account. You only sign up if you want to keep the form and collect answers, and Formms is free for that too.
Do I have to create an account to see the result?
No. The preview above is the real form, fully fillable, before you decide anything. An account is only needed to save it and start collecting responses.
What happens to my file?
It is sent to our servers, read once by the AI, and used to build the form. We do not keep the file itself. The draft form it produces is deleted automatically after 7 days unless you save it to an account.
How many can I convert?
A few per hour without an account, which covers normal use. Sign in if you need to work through a stack of files in one sitting.
Can I edit the questions afterwards?
Yes. Save the form to a free account and every question, type, and option is editable, on the web or in the phone app.
