Do I need to sign up?
You need an account to build and manage forms, but there's no password — just an email and a one-time code we send you.

Frequently asked questions
Frequently asked questions about TinyForm: OTP login, submissions, storage, and templates.
Why do you need my email?
It's your login (via a one-time code), and it's where every submission on your forms gets sent.
Where do submissions go?
Straight to your inbox, the moment someone submits. TinyForm doesn't give you a dashboard of past responses to check — it emails you instead.
Do you store the answers people submit?
No. A submission is emailed to you and a response counter goes up by one — the content of the answers themselves is never saved.
Is it really free?
Yes — creating and managing forms is free.
What kind of fields can a form have?
Text, email, paragraph, number, phone, date, URL, a dropdown with your own options, and a checkbox for consent-style questions.
Can I start from a template instead of building from scratch?
Yes — there are 20 built-in templates for common school and organization forms (registration, permission slips, RSVPs, and more). Pick one and it pre-fills the builder; you can still edit everything before saving.
Can I see what a form looks like before publishing it?
Yes — the builder has a Preview button that shows the form exactly as a visitor would see it, without saving anything.
Can I reorder or remove fields?
Yes — each field has up/down arrows to reorder it and a ✕ to remove it, right in the builder.
