FormGenius

Switching to FormGenius doesn't mean starting from scratch

If your forms already exist, in Word, another form builder, or on paper, you can bring them across instead of rebuilding them by hand.

Most form platforms assume you are starting from nothing. FormGenius assumes the opposite, that you probably already have forms somewhere, in a Word document, a PDF, another form builder, or a stack of paper in a filing cabinet. Document Import reads an existing form and turns it into an editable, accessible FormGenius form. If you are starting fresh instead, AI Generate builds a complete form from a plain description. Either way, you end up with the same thing, a form that exports as an accessible PDF/UA tagged PDF and, if you want it, a live WCAG 2.2 AA web form too.

Why organisations switch to FormGenius

Import what you already have

Upload a Word document or any PDF, fillable, scanned, or photographed, and FormGenius maps it into an editable, accessible form. Your fields, headings, and layout carry across, not just the text.

Or start from a plain description

No existing form to import? Describe what you need and AI Generate builds a complete set of accessible fields and sections for you to review and adjust.

Edit once, both outputs update

The same design produces your PDF and your web form. Change a word six months later and you update it in one place, not two.

Accessible from the first export

Every form meets WCAG 2.2 AA and PDF/UA (ISO 14289-1) standards by default, with no extra tools or specialist knowledge required.

What people bring across when they switch

Forms built in another form builder

Recreate or import forms from JotForm, Typeform, Google Forms, or similar, and get accessible PDF and web form outputs from the same design.

Word documents and fillable PDFs

Application forms, referral forms, and information sheets built in Word or Acrobat import directly, fields and structure included.

Scanned or photographed paper forms

If the only version left is a paper form, a photo or scan is enough for Document Import to map it into an editable form.

Survey and feedback forms

Move existing surveys onto FormGenius and collect responses as encrypted web form submissions, with CSV export included.

Consent, declaration, and safeguarding forms

Documents carrying legal obligations import with their reading order and field structure preserved, ready for a final review.

Reports and checklists

Multi-page inspection or audit documents import with their sections and headings intact.

How switching works

From design to published form in minutes — no technical knowledge required.

Bring your form across

Upload an existing Word document or PDF, or describe a new form in plain language with AI Generate.

2

Review on the canvas

Land straight in the editor with a usable form and a short summary of anything worth checking.

Check accessibility

The built-in Accessibility Wizard checks heading hierarchy, alt text, tab order, and colour contrast, and tells you exactly what to fix.

Export or publish

Export a tagged PDF/UA accessible PDF, publish a live WCAG 2.2 AA web form, or both from the same design.

What happens to your data when you switch

Moving to a new platform can feel like handing your data to yet another vendor. FormGenius is built to minimise that concern.

Free tier stays on your device

PDF generation on the free tier happens entirely in your browser. Your form and its content never reach our servers unless you choose a paid tier.

Encrypted submissions

Web form submissions on paid tiers are encrypted at rest with a unique key per form. Only you can read your own responses.

Data minimisation by default

FormGenius only stores what a form needs to function. Auto-delete is available on the Business tier for submissions you do not need to keep.

UK GDPR

As a UK-operated service, FormGenius is built around UK GDPR principles, purpose limitation and data minimisation included.

Frequently asked questions

Can FormGenius import forms from JotForm, Typeform, or Google Forms?

Not directly from those platforms' own formats. Export or print your form as a PDF first, then use Document Import to bring it into FormGenius. If you would rather start again, AI Generate can rebuild an equivalent form from a plain description in a fraction of the time.

What file types does Document Import accept?

Word documents (.docx) and any PDF, fillable, scanned, or a photo of a paper form. If your form was built in Google Docs, export it as a .docx file first.

Will my imported form look exactly the same?

Accessible defaults take priority over pixel-perfect copying. Layout, spacing, and page breaks are recalculated for accessibility rather than copied exactly, so review the result and adjust anything you want changed.

How long does Document Import take?

Usually under a couple of minutes, even for longer or more complex forms.

Do I need an account to try it?

No. The free tier needs no account and includes the full Accessibility Wizard and unlimited PDF exports. Document Import and AI Generate are available on Growth and Business plans, since they need cloud processing.
