Form builder questions, answered

Search or browse the questions below to learn how the builder, sharing and PDF export work.

General

Is Fieldwork free?

Yes, completely. There is no sign-up, no watermark, no limit on the number of fields and no paid version. The builder runs in your own browser, so there are no server costs to pass on to you.

Do I need to create an account or install anything?

No. Open the page, pick a template or start from a blank form, and begin adding fields. There is nothing to register and nothing to install.

What can I make with this form builder?

Contact forms, event RSVPs, job applications, feedback and survey forms, order forms, workshop sign-ups, newsletter sign-ups, and any other form that collects answers from people. You add the questions, style it, preview it and export it as a ready-to-use web page.

How do I make a form?

Choose a template or Blank form, then click fields on the left to add them, or drag them onto the form. Click any field to change its question, options and settings in the Edit panel. When it looks right, press Preview to test it and Export to get the finished form.

Can I use it on my phone or tablet?

Yes. It works on Android phones, iPhones, iPads and tablets, as well as Windows, Mac, Linux and Chromebook computers. On a phone, the tabs at the bottom switch between Add, Form, Edit and Preview.

Which browsers does it work in?

Current versions of Chrome, Edge, Safari and Firefox. Some styling uses modern browser features, so very old browsers may show a plainer layout. If something looks wrong, update your browser first.

Is there a limit on fields or forms?

There is no limit on fields, options or questions. One draft is autosaved at a time; to keep several forms, save a backup file of each one from the Export window.

Does it work without an internet connection?

You need a connection to load the builder. After that, editing and previewing work on your device. The exported form needs a connection to send answers and to load its web font.

Is it a replacement for Google Forms or Typeform?

It covers the everyday job of building a good-looking form that you own outright, with no account and no branding. It doesn't include a built-in response dashboard, multi-page forms, conditional logic, payments or calculations.

Are there keyboard shortcuts?

Yes. Ctrl+Z (Cmd+Z on a Mac) undoes the last change. On the form, Enter or Space selects a field, Alt+Up and Alt+Down move it, and Delete or Backspace removes it. Press ? to open these questions and Escape to close a window.

Where can I find help while I'm building?

Click Help in the top bar at any time to open these questions in a window over your form, with search and categories, without losing your place.

Building forms

How do I add a field?

Click a field type in the Add panel and it appears below the field you have selected, or at the end of the form. On a computer you can also drag a field type to the exact spot you want.

How do I change the order of fields?

Drag a field to a new position on a computer, or select it and use the up and down arrows in its toolbar. With the keyboard, select it and press Alt+Up or Alt+Down.

How do I edit a question?

Click the field on the form. The Edit panel opens its settings, where you can change the question, placeholder, help text, options, width and whether it is required. Changes appear on the form as you type.

How do I duplicate or delete a field?

Use the copy or bin button in the field's toolbar, or the Duplicate and Delete buttons at the bottom of the Edit panel. A deleted field can be brought back with Undo.

How do I change the form title and description?

Click the title area at the top of the form, or open the Form tab in the Edit panel. You can also change the button text and the thank-you message there.

What does making a field required do?

People can't send the form until they answer it. Required questions are marked with a star, and if someone misses one, the form scrolls to it and points it out.

What is the difference between full and half width?

A full-width field takes the whole row. Two half-width fields sit side by side on larger screens, which suits pairs like first and last name. On phones, half-width fields stack automatically so they stay easy to fill in.

What are placeholder and help text?

Placeholder is a light grey example inside an empty box, such as jane@example.com. Help text is a short hint shown under the question, such as Use the email you check most often. Help text stays visible while people type, so put anything important there.

How do I add, remove or reorder options?

Select a dropdown, single choice or checkbox question. In the Options list, type to rename an option, use the arrow to move it up, the cross to remove it, and Add option for a new one. Pressing Enter in an option adds a new one right below it.

How do I split my form into sections?

Add a Section title field where each part begins, with an optional subtitle. A Divider adds a simple line, and a Text block adds instructions or notes between questions.

How do I undo a mistake?

Press Ctrl+Z (Cmd+Z on a Mac) or the undo arrow in the top bar. Many recent steps are kept, including deleted fields, template changes and style changes.

How do I start over?

Open Templates and choose Blank form, or remove every field from the Form tab with Remove all fields. Both can be undone straight away if you change your mind.

Can I print my form?

Yes. Download the PDF from the Export window and print it. Turn off Fillable fields if you only want a paper version.

Can I make a multi-page form or show questions based on answers?

Not at the moment. Every form is a single page. Section titles and dividers help break a longer form into clear parts.

Field types

Which field types are available?

Short answer, Long answer, Email, Phone, Number, Website link, Dropdown, Single choice, Checkboxes, Star rating, Agreement, Date, Time and File upload, plus Picture, Section title, Text block and Divider for layout.

When should I use a dropdown instead of single choice?

Use single choice when there are a few options people should see at a glance, roughly up to six. Use a dropdown for longer lists, such as products or countries, so the form stays compact.

How do checkboxes work when they are required?

At least one box must be ticked before the form can be sent. If none are ticked, the question is outlined and a short message asks the person to choose an option.

Does the email field check addresses?

Yes. It checks that the answer looks like an email address, such as name@example.com, before the form is sent. It can't check that the address actually exists.

Does the phone field check the number format?

No, because phone formats vary so much between countries. On phones it opens the number keypad to make typing easier. Add help text if you need a particular format.

Can I set a minimum and maximum for numbers?

Yes. Select a Number field and fill in Minimum and Maximum. Answers outside that range are pointed out before the form is sent.

How do the date and time fields work?

They use the date and time pickers built into each person's browser and phone, so they feel familiar and work well with touch.

How does the star rating work?

People tap or click a star to choose a score. You can offer 3, 5, 7 or 10 stars, and the answer is sent as a number, such as 4.

What is the Agreement field for?

It is a single tick box for things like accepting terms or agreeing to be contacted. Make it required when people must agree before sending. A ticked box is sent as Yes.

What does the Website link field accept?

A full web address, including https:// at the start. The form points out answers that aren't a valid link.

How do file uploads work?

People choose a file from their device, and you can limit it to images, documents or PDFs. Files are only delivered if your response address belongs to a service that accepts file uploads; some services offer this only on paid plans, so check yours first.

What name is each answer sent under?

Each answer is labelled with its question text, so responses are easy to read in your email or dashboard. If two questions have the same text, the second gets a number, such as Email (2).

Pictures & design

How do I add a picture to my form?

Add a Picture field from Layout and pictures, then click Upload picture in the Edit panel. You can add a caption and set it to full or half width.

Which picture formats can I use?

JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP and SVG. Large photos are resized to a sensible width automatically so your form stays quick to load.

Are my pictures uploaded anywhere?

No. Pictures are read on your device and built straight into your form, so the exported file contains them and doesn't depend on any image host.

What is the picture description for?

It describes the picture for people using screen readers, and it is shown if a picture can't load. A short sentence about what the picture shows is enough.

How do I add my logo?

Open the Style tab and click Upload logo. It appears above the form title and follows the title alignment.

How do I change the header picture?

In the Style tab, pick one of the patterns, such as Waves, Dots or Confetti, which take on your accent colour. Choose Upload to use your own banner picture, or None for no header.

Can I use my brand colours?

Yes. Pick a colour theme in the Style tab, then use Custom accent color to set your exact brand colour. Buttons, stars, ticks and header patterns all follow it.

Will text on my buttons stay readable?

Yes. The button text switches between dark and light automatically, depending on how light your accent colour is.

Which fonts can I use?

Sans-serif fonts such as DM Sans, Outfit, Nunito, Space Grotesk and IBM Plex Sans, the serif fonts Fraunces and Playfair Display, or System, which uses each device's own font and needs no download.

Can I make a dark form?

Yes. Choose the Midnight or Pine night theme in the Style tab for a dark background with light text.

What do the corner and alignment options change?

Corners set how rounded the card, boxes and button are, from Sharp to Pill. Title alignment puts the title, description and button on the left or in the centre.

Templates

Which templates are included?

Contact us, Event RSVP, Job application, Customer feedback, Order form, Workshop sign-up, Quick survey and Newsletter sign-up, plus a Blank form.

Can I change everything in a template?

Yes. Every question, option, colour, font, header and message can be edited, removed or added to. Templates are just a starting point.

What happens to my current form if I choose a template?

The template replaces what is on the form. Press Undo in the message that appears, or Ctrl+Z, to get your previous form back. Your response address is kept when you switch.

Can I save my own form as a template?

Save a backup file from the Export window. Open it whenever you want to start a new form from it, then change what you need.

Preview & testing

How do I test my form before sharing it?

Press Preview and fill it in like a visitor would. Required questions, email checks and number limits all work, and after sending you see exactly what would be submitted.

Are preview answers sent anywhere?

No. In Preview, answers stay on your device and are only shown back to you. Nothing is sent until you export the form with a response address and someone fills it in.

Can I see how it looks on a phone?

Yes. On a computer, switch Preview between Desktop and Phone. On a phone, the Preview tab already shows the phone layout.

How do I fill it in again?

Click Fill it out again on the thank-you screen, or Clear answers at the top of the preview.

Should I send a real test after exporting?

Yes. Once the form is online, send one test answer to make sure it reaches your email or dashboard. Some services ask you to confirm the first submission before they start delivering.

Receiving responses

How do I receive the answers people send?

Create a free form endpoint with a service such as Formspree, Getform or Basin, then paste its web address into Where responses go in the Form tab. Every submission then arrives in that service's dashboard and usually in your email too.

What is a form endpoint?

It is a web address that receives form answers and stores or forwards them for you. Form services create one for each form you set up, usually in a few clicks and with a free plan.

Why doesn't Fieldwork store responses itself?

Because it runs entirely in your browser with no account and no database. That keeps it free and private, and lets you choose where your answers are kept.

What happens if I don't add a response address?

The form works and shows your thank-you message, but answers aren't sent anywhere. The Export window reminds you when no address is set.

Will I get an email for each response?

That depends on your form service. Most send an email notification for each submission and let you choose the address it goes to.

Can I download my responses as a spreadsheet?

Yes, through your form service. Most offer CSV or Excel downloads, and some connect to Google Sheets, Slack or other tools.

Does it work with any form service?

It works with services that accept a standard HTML form sent by POST and reply with a success status, which covers the popular ones. The exported form sends answers in the background and shows your thank-you message when they arrive.

How do I stop spam?

Use your form service's spam protection, such as filtering, a hidden honeypot field or a captcha, which most services offer in their settings. Fieldwork doesn't add its own spam filter.

What does someone see after sending the form?

Your thank-you heading and message, which you can change in the Form tab. If sending fails, they are told the response couldn't be sent and can try again, and their answers stay filled in.

Is there a limit on how many responses I can get?

Not from Fieldwork. Your form service may limit monthly submissions on its free plan, so check its pricing if you expect a lot of answers.

Export & sharing

How do I export my form?

Press Export, then choose Download HTML or Copy HTML code. You get one complete file with the design, pictures and checks built in.

How do I put the form on my website?

Upload the HTML file to your website or hosting and link to it, or show it on a page inside an embed or iframe block. You can also paste the code into a custom HTML block if your website builder supports full pages.

Where can I host the form for free?

Free static hosting services such as GitHub Pages, Netlify and Cloudflare Pages can host the file and give you a link to share.

Can I embed it in WordPress, Wix, Squarespace or Shopify?

Yes. The most reliable way is to host the file and add it with the platform's embed or iframe block, so the form keeps its own styling and doesn't affect the rest of your site.

How do I share my form with people?

Press Share for a link you can copy, send by email or WhatsApp, post on X, Facebook or LinkedIn, or turn into a QR code. You can also host the exported HTML file and share its address.

Can I edit the form after exporting it?

Yes. Your draft stays in this browser, or you can open a backup file. Make your changes, export again and replace the old file on your website.

What is the backup file?

A small .json file with everything about your form: questions, settings, style and pictures. Open it from the Export window with Open a backup to keep editing on any device.

Can I work on a form with someone else?

Send them your backup file. They can open it in Fieldwork, make changes and send a new backup back to you.

Can I customise the exported code?

Yes. It is plain HTML, CSS and JavaScript, and the form's styles all use class names starting with fx-, so they are easy to find and change.

Will the exported form work on phones?

Yes. It adapts to any screen size, stacks half-width fields on narrow screens, uses large tap targets and opens the right keyboard for emails, numbers and phone numbers.

Sharing & PDF

How do I share my form without a website?

Press Share and copy the link. Anyone who opens it sees your form, ready to fill in, on any phone or computer. Their answers go to the response address you set in the Form tab.

What do people see when they open my link?

Just your form, full screen, with your colours, header and thank-you message. They don't see the builder and don't need an account.

How does the link work without a server?

The whole form is compressed and stored inside the link itself. Nothing is saved online, so the link keeps working as long as the page it points to is available.

Why is my link so long?

Because it carries the complete form. Pictures make it much longer, so they are left out automatically when they would make the link too long. You can switch them on or off with Include pictures and logo.

Can I share on WhatsApp, email and social media?

Yes. The Share window has buttons for email, WhatsApp, X, Facebook and LinkedIn, and on phones a Share button that opens your phone's own share menu.

How do I make a QR code for my form?

Open Share. A QR code of your link is made automatically; click Download QR code to save it as a PNG for posters, flyers, menus or slides.

If I change my form, does the old link update?

No. Each link holds the version of the form it was made from. After changes, share the new link from the Share window. A hosted HTML file can be replaced instead if you want one address that never changes.

Do share links expire?

No. There's no server and no account, so there's nothing to expire.

Can I embed a shared form on my website?

Yes. Copy the embed code from the Share window and paste it into an HTML or embed block on your site.

What is an editable copy link?

A link that opens the form inside Fieldwork so someone else can change it, for example a teammate. Opening it doesn't change your own form.

Where do share links point?

To the copy of Fieldwork you made them in. If you upload the Fieldwork file to your own website, links you share from there use your own web address.

How do I download my form as a PDF?

Open Export, choose A4 or US Letter, and press Download PDF. You get a clean, printable version of your form with your header, logo and pictures.

What is a fillable PDF?

A PDF with real boxes people can type into and tick in Adobe Acrobat Reader, Preview on Mac, Edge or Chrome, then save and send back. Turn off Fillable fields for a plain version to print and fill in by hand.

Are answers in a filled-in PDF collected automatically?

No. People save the filled-in PDF and return it to you, for example by email. For automatic collection, share the link or the exported HTML form.

How do the questions look in the PDF?

Text answers become boxes, choices become circles, checkboxes become squares, star ratings become numbered choices and file uploads ask people to attach their file separately. Half-width questions sit side by side.

Which fonts does the PDF use?

Helvetica for sans-serif themes and Times for serif themes such as Fraunces and Playfair Display, so the PDF opens the same everywhere.

Why do some characters look wrong in the PDF?

The standard PDF fonts cover English and other Western European languages. Scripts such as Hindi, Arabic, Chinese or Cyrillic can't be shown in them, and you'll see a message when that happens. Share a link or the HTML form for those languages instead.

Privacy & storage

Is my form uploaded to a server?

No. Your form is built, previewed and exported entirely inside your browser, on your own device. When you share a link, the form travels inside the link itself rather than being stored on a server.

Where is my draft saved?

In your browser's own storage on the device you are using. It is saved automatically as you work, and it won't appear on other devices or in other browsers.

Why did I get a message that my form is too large to autosave?

Browsers limit how much each page can store, and large pictures fill it quickly. Use smaller pictures, or save a backup file from the Export window so you don't lose your work.

Why wasn't my form there when I came back?

Private or incognito windows forget everything when they close, and clearing your browsing data removes saved drafts too. Save a backup file to keep your work safe.

How do I delete my saved draft?

Open Templates and choose Blank form, or remove all fields. Clearing this site's data in your browser settings removes the draft completely.

Who can see the answers people send?

Only you and your form service. Answers go straight from the visitor's browser to the address you set, without passing through Fieldwork.

Is it suitable for personal or sensitive information?

Your form service handles the answers, so choose one that meets your privacy needs and local rules. For health, financial or identity details, check the service's security and data location before collecting them.

What does the page download from the internet?

Web fonts from Google Fonts, and, only when you use them, a PDF maker (jsPDF) and a QR code maker from jsDelivr. Your form, pictures and answers are never sent anywhere by the builder.

Accessibility

Are the forms accessible?

Every question has a proper label, choices are grouped with their question, required fields are marked, and the forms work fully with a keyboard and screen readers. Clear focus outlines show where you are.

How can I make my form easier for everyone?

Write short, plain questions, add help text instead of relying on placeholders, describe every picture, keep enough contrast between text and background, and only make the questions you really need required.

Can people fill in the form with a keyboard only?

Yes. Tab moves between questions, arrow keys move between choices and stars, Space ticks boxes and Enter sends the form.

Can I write my form in another language?

Yes. Type your questions, options, button and messages in any language. Browser messages, such as a reminder to fill in a required field, appear in each visitor's own browser language.

Troubleshooting

I see a message that the response couldn't be sent.

Check that the response address is copied exactly from your form service and that the form is active there. Some services ask you to confirm your email or the first submission before they accept answers.

The Download button is missing in the Export window.

Downloads aren't available in some views. Use Copy HTML code, paste it into a text editor and save the file with a name ending in .html.

My shared link opens a message saying it isn't complete.

Part of the link was cut off when it was copied or sent, which happens most with long links. Copy it again with the Copy link button, turn off pictures to shorten it, or host the exported HTML file for a short address.

The QR code says the link is too long.

QR codes can only hold a limited amount of text. Turn off Include pictures and logo, shorten long help texts, or host the exported HTML file and make a QR code of its shorter address.

The PDF won't download.

The PDF maker downloads the first time you use it, so check your internet connection and try again. If your browser asks whether to allow downloads, choose Allow.

I can't type into the fillable PDF on my phone.

Some phone PDF viewers only show forms. Open it in Adobe Acrobat Reader, which is free, or fill it in on a computer.

Copy HTML code didn't copy anything.

Your browser may have blocked copying. Click inside the code box, select everything with Ctrl+A (Cmd+A on a Mac) and copy it with Ctrl+C (Cmd+C).

Dragging fields doesn't work on my phone or tablet.

Dragging is for mouse and trackpad. On touch screens, select the field and use the up and down arrows in its toolbar.

My picture won't upload.

Make sure it is a JPG, PNG, GIF, WebP or SVG file. Photos straight from some phones, such as HEIC, need converting to JPG first.

The fonts in my exported form look different.

The exported form loads its font from Google Fonts. If a network blocks it, a similar standard font is shown instead. Choose System in the Style tab for a font that never needs downloading.

File uploads aren't arriving with responses.

Check that your form service accepts file uploads and that your plan includes them. Some services ignore files on free plans.

A required checkbox question won't let me send the form.

At least one option must be ticked. If none of the options fit, add an option such as None or Other.

My form looks squashed in my website's page.

Give the embed or iframe enough width and height, ideally full width. The form adapts to the space it gets, and narrow spaces use the phone layout.

Open a backup says the file isn't a Fieldwork backup.

Only .json files saved from Fieldwork's Export window can be opened. Make sure you chose the backup file, not the exported HTML file.

Tips

How long should my form be?

As short as possible. Ask only what you will use, put the easiest questions first, and use sections to break up anything longer than about ten questions.

How do I get more people to finish my form?

Say in the description how long it takes, keep required questions to a minimum, pair short fields side by side, and make the button say what happens, such as Send my RSVP.

How do I write a good thank-you message?

Confirm that the answer arrived and say what happens next and when, for example: We'll reply within one working day.

How do I make my form look professional?

Use your logo and brand colour, stick to one font, keep questions consistent in style, and add a header picture that suits your brand.

What is the quickest way to build a form?

Start from the closest template, delete what you don't need, rename the rest, then set your colour and logo. Most forms are ready in a few minutes.
