The rumors are true. While you were sleeping and resting well, Team Jotform has been working hard, day and night in the last 6 months, to bring you an exciting new feature- the New Jotform Form Designer.
This ambitious project gives our users complete control of their form designs. Our previous form design options were limited to basic sizing, color selection, and font selection.
Replacing this is an attractive new WYSIWYG interface where users can design the form however they like.
Jotform’s New Form Designer Example Using the form designer is simple:
1.Build your form as you always have with Jotform’s world renowned form builder.
2.Click the Form Designer Icon on the Form Style toolbar. (Pictured below)
3.Design your form using the many options in our Form Designer’s intuitive interface.
The major categories include:
- •Color Scheme. Select from numerous professionally designed themes, or select your own colors.
- •Background Image. Select both form and page background images.
- •Form Layout. Establish widths of form and elements, padding, and corner styling.
- •Font Options. Select font and sizing.
- •Label Styles. Customize the labels for your form inputs.
- •Line Layout. Adjust line spacing, along with its vertical/horizontal layout.
That’s just the beginning. Once the basic design and layout of the form is established each field can be selected allowing you to customize it further. Here are the options specific to the text box field, for example:
The many customization options on the design tab will allow users to set up the basic design of the form and its fields. Sometimes more granular control is needed. For this we provide the CSS interface. Our CSS helper makes it easy for users to find the fields they would like to provide specific styles to. If users want even more control, they can enter any CSS they like.
The Form Designer marks an exciting new phase in Jotform’s Story. Our forms can now readily match any website. Unlimit your imagination: Try the new form designer today!

Is form designer available into free version?
How do we revert back to the template we originally chose to build the form with? The designer is both restrictive and frustrating as you cannot revert back should you dare to play with it.
Can you export the design to be used with other forms?
I have the same problem as brinbro. Doesn't seem to work right. Is this a released product feature?
Aytekin you guys haven't got bought out yet? Lol remember our comments from like 5 years ago?
Trying it now - doesn't work and the settings won't save but I see a lot of potential. Will rework a few of my forms once the bugs are worked out!
LOOKS AMAZING!
I CAN'T WAIT TO DESIGN SOME NEW JOTFORMS! THANKS JOTFORM TEAM!
I like it; great job.
It is excellent. I like it. thanks.
Love it guys and very pleased to see it's responsive. Well done!
Looks easy to use, love it boys...thanks!
When will this be available and included in my form builder? I don't see the beta as of yet.
Amazing! Thanks Jotform!
Pl offer payment gateway integration in Indian currency
Excellent good work guys looks so much easier to use especially changing sizes of boxes ...love it
Well DoneThis is amazing! Currently, I'm designing my forms in such a way that the background image would complement the static fields.
It's in beta right now, but I can't wait for the new form design to transition to the current editor. It'll be possible now to create more flat/metro style forms, which I was hoping for some time now.
Great work guys. Luv Jotform + use it all over my website. Thank you:
FYI: I get tolled often by my website users that there is no way to 'CLOSE' the form/page afterwards ie., an 'X' in the right hand corner. Would love it even more if there was an option for all forms of: 1. Make this form a pop-up 2. Add a close 'X' button to the top corner.
How do you add the icons next to the form fields. For example the person icon next to name, and envelope icon next to email.
I've been in the internet marketing space for a little over 10 yrs. now and I think Jotform by for is the best out there, However, I would like to see you come up with a way to copy an old Doc, PDF form and convert it somehow, because it time consuming to create a form from scratch. Thanks, Alvin
changes i've made in the new form designer are not being saved.
EXCELLENT!!!... JUST WHAT THE DOCTOR ORDERED!!... GREAT JOB JOTFORM TEAM... THANK YOU VERY MUCH...
Mobile friendly is great! Well done and thanks.
Aytekin. Perfect timing. Solved an issue with a new mobile form straight away!
Will this be included in Jotform application?
Thanks
You guys are a life saver! Forms have always been the bane of my existence.
Are these forms responsive?
It's nice in a very simplistic way. What I still see lacking is a method of creating complex forms with side by side layout.
For example, think of a contact from with First name and last name text fields, side by side, with a title pulldown at the end of the same line (ex. Sr., Jr).
How often would you rather see the fields for City, State and Zip Code on the same line rather than as three distinct lines?
Supporting this, especially with the ability to drag the fields into place, would be amazing.
I would love to be able to do this using JotForm.
Great Job JotForm.... Thanks for everything!!!
Excellent!!! You guys are fantastic!!!
Beautiful. Fantastic work. Thanks for leading the way and rocking the form design world.
Now, for my one and only request: css/js transistions. A simple cross-fade between pages on a multipage form would be great. Maybe a simple fade effect for individual elements (onEnter, onFocus).
Or at least point me to where we can add a css fx lib to our account and expose it in the editor?
:-)
Loving it.
Please we really need Sage Pay payments.
I would really love it if you made a way where I can upload a pdf, highlight areas to be filled in by clients and be done. :) honestly it would be so much easier that way and I would love you forever!
