Getting Started

Getting started

FormGenius is free to use with no account required. Go to formgenius.co.uk and click Create New Form — you’ll go straight into the editor.

To save your forms and return to them later, you need a paid subscription. Sign-up happens as part of subscribing — visit the pricing page to get started. Payment details are only collected at the point of upgrade.

Understanding your tier

FormGenius has four tiers:

A full comparison is on the pricing page and compare page.

The dashboard

When you sign in, you land on your dashboard. This is where all your projects live.

From the dashboard you can create new forms, open existing ones, see submission counts, and manage your account settings.

Creating a new form

From the home page, click Create New Form. If you’re signed in, you can also click New Form from your dashboard. You’ll be asked to choose:

• Form name — defaults to “Untitled Form”; sets the name shown in your dashboard.
• Page size — A4, A5, Letter, Legal, or custom dimensions in millimetres.
• Orientation — portrait or landscape.
• Margins — 5 mm to 25 mm.
• Snap-to-grid — 1 mm, 2 mm, 5 mm, or 10 mm.
• Document language — sets the language attribute on the exported PDF, which screen readers use to apply the correct pronunciation rules. Defaults to your browser’s language.

Once confirmed, you land in the form editor. Your form is saved automatically every 5 seconds if you’re on a paid tier. On the free tier, your form exists for the current session only — complete and export your PDF before leaving the editor.

Keyboard shortcuts

The form editor is fully keyboard-navigable. Use these shortcuts to work faster. Ctrl+S saves to the cloud and only applies on paid tiers.
