How to Use Form Templates

September 1, 2026

Jotform makes it easy to create a form without starting from scratch with Form Templates. You can choose from a wide range of ready-made templates, search for one that fits your needs, and filter the gallery by layout, type, or popularity. Once you find a template you like, you can preview it and start customizing it for your needs.


You can find and use a Form Template in just a few steps. Here’s what to do:

  1. On the top-left side of your Workspace page, click on Create.

Note

You can browse and use form templates straight from our Form Templates Gallery.

  1. Here, if you’re looking for a specific template, just enter it into the Search box.
  2. Or, in the menu on the left, select one of the following filtering options:
    • Sort By — Choose from Popular, Trend, or Recent to find the most relevant templates.
    • Form Layout — Select between Classic or Card layouts to suit your design preference.
    • Type — Filter templates by the form type to match your specific needs.

Note

When you use a template, our system will create the forms included in it, and those will count toward your form limit. You can learn more about that in our guide about Understanding Your Account Usage and Limits.

You’re all set! Now that you know how to use Form Templates, you’re ready to dive in. Have fun customizing and creating your forms!
