About FormForge

Every existing way to make a fillable PDF form asked for something I wasn't willing to give. The desktop apps wanted a subscription for a task that takes two minutes. The free web tools wanted me to upload the document first — contracts, HR paperwork, intake forms, the exact kind of file you'd never paste into a random website. And the "simple" editors buried the one feature I needed under menus built for something else entirely.

I'm a developer. I knew the whole job — reading a PDF, drawing form fields onto it, and writing those fields back into the file — could run entirely inside a browser tab. No upload. No account. No server that quietly keeps a copy. So I built FormForge to prove it: import a PDF, drag the fields you need onto the page, export a real fillable form that works in Adobe Reader, Preview, and every major browser. The document never leaves your machine, and you can confirm that yourself by watching the network tab while you use it.

It's free because it costs almost nothing to run — the work happens on your device, not mine. That's the whole pitch: an honest tool that does one job well and respects the files you feed it.
