Form Templates - Build Faster with Ready-Made Designs

What Are Form Templates?

Form templates are pre-built, professionally designed forms that you can use as a starting point for your own projects. Instead of starting from scratch, you can browse FigForm's template library at figform.com/templates, pick a template that matches your use case, and customize it to fit your brand and requirements.

Every template is fully editable - change colors, typography, spacing, copy, and fields without writing a single line of code.

Why Use Templates?

Save Time

Starting with a template means you don't have to think through every field, label, and layout decision from zero. Templates give you a solid foundation that you can customize in minutes instead of building from scratch.

Professional Design

Every template is designed with best practices in mind - clear hierarchy, readable typography, appropriate spacing, and logical field ordering. You get a polished starting point that looks professional out of the box.

Learn by Example

Templates show you what's possible in FigForm. Browse the library to discover field types, layout patterns, and design approaches you might not have considered.

Focus on Your Brand

Instead of spending time on structure and flow, you can focus on what matters: making the form match your brand and speak in your voice.

How to Use a Template

Step 1: Browse the Template Library

Visit figform.com/templates to browse available templates.

Each template includes a preview so you can see the layout, fields, and overall structure before choosing.

Step 2: Choose Your Template

Click on any template to see the full preview. When you find one that matches your needs, click "Use Template".

If you're not logged in, you'll be prompted to sign in or create a free account. If you're already logged in, the template will be added to your workspace immediately.

Step 3: Customize Everything

Once the template is in your workspace, it becomes yours to edit. The FigForm editor opens with the template already loaded, and you can:

• Change colors and typography to match your brand
• Edit all copy - labels, placeholders, helper text, and instructions
• Add, remove, or reorder fields based on what you need to collect
• Adjust spacing and layout to match your design preferences
• Add your logo and imagery to reinforce your brand
• Configure validation rules and field settings
• Set up webhooks to send responses where you need them

No code required - everything is visual and editable on the Figma-like canvas.

Step 4: Publish Your Form

When you're happy with your customized form, publish it with a single line of code:

Or share the hosted embed link: https://figform.com/embed/FORM-ID.

Your form is now live and ready to collect responses.

Creating Your Own Templates

If you've built a form that you're proud of and think others might find useful, you can turn it into a template that appears in the FigForm template library.

Step 1: Build a Great Form

Create a form that:

• Solves a common use case
• Has clear, professional design
• Uses best practices for field ordering and labels
• Includes helpful placeholder text and instructions
• Works well on both desktop and mobile

Step 2: Save as Template

From the Form page in your dashboard, look for the "Create Template" option. This creates a snapshot of your form that can be shared as a template.

When saving as a template, you can:

• Give it a descriptive name
• Add a short description of what the template is for
• Choose a category (contact, survey, registration, etc.)
• Add preview image to help others discover it

Step 3: Submit for Review

Once you've saved your form as a template, submit a request on https://figform.com/embed/1O to request publication in the template library.

Include:

• The template id you can find in the URL of the form page
• A brief description of the use case it solves
• Why you think it would be valuable to other FigForm users

Our team will review your template and, if approved, publish it to figform.com/templates so others can benefit from your work.

Template Best Practices

When building a form that might become a template (or just want to build a great form in general), keep these guidelines in mind:

Keep It Focused

Good templates solve one specific problem well. A contact form should focus on contact information. A survey should focus on feedback collection. Don't try to make a template that does everything.

Use Clear Labels

Write field labels that are immediately understandable. Avoid jargon, acronyms, or industry-specific terms unless the template is specifically for that industry.

Add Helper Text

Use helper text to provide context, examples, or instructions. This helps users understand what you're asking for without adding clutter to the main labels.

Test on Mobile

Always preview your form on mobile devices. Templates should be responsive and work well on small screens.

Start Simple

It's easier to add fields than to remove them. Start with the minimum viable set of fields and let users customize from there.

Make It Brandable

Choose colors, fonts, and spacing that look professional but are easy to customize. Avoid highly specific brand colors or imagery that won't work for most users.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are templates free to use?
Yes. All templates in the library are free to use on any FigForm plan, including the free plan.

Can I edit everything in a template?
Absolutely. Once you use a template, it becomes your form. You can change every aspect of it - design, fields, logic, everything.

Do templates come with responses?
No. When you use a template, you get a fresh form with zero responses. It's a clean slate.

Can I use the same template multiple times?
Yes. You can create as many forms from the same template as you need. Each one is independent.

What happens if a template is updated?
Templates are snapshots. If the original template is updated, your forms won't change. This means your live forms stay stable and predictable.

Can I share my templates with just my team?
Absolutely, you can share your templates with your team by inviting them to your workspace.

How long does template review take?
We typically review template submissions within 2-3 business days. We'll email you at the address associated with your account once we've made a decision.

The Takeaway

Templates let you start with a solid foundation instead of a blank canvas. Browse the library at figform.com/templates, choose a template that matches your needs, customize it to your brand, and publish in minutes.

And if you build something great, share it back with the community - your template might be exactly what someone else needs.
