Import, export, and migrate forms

​

How to import forms

In the side menu, under Fillout, open My forms and click New form. In the popup, click Import existing forms. Then, choose your preferred import type.

​

Import Fillout form

Choose this option if you have an exported Fillout form that you want to import into your account. This is useful when you need to reuse a form created in a different organization. The imported form will include the form structure, such as questions and fields, but submissions from the original form will not be included. Update connections (if necessary) If you’re importing a form that has a connection to Airtable, Notion or another integration, be sure to reconnect them after importing. In the Integrate tab on top, + Connect new account. You won’t need to set field mappings anymore. If some fields are missing or if the table isn’t showing up, refresh the connection.

​

Migrate forms from Typeform, Jotform, or SurveyMonkey

Click 3rd Party, then choose Typeform, Jotform or SurveyMonkey. Fillout lets users import existing forms from these 3rd party tools. The editor will read the forms as is and import the structure as is, including labels, multiple-choice options, workflows and email notification settings including recipients. Other items, like backend settings, aren’t included. Typeform questions that allow several answers are imported as Checkboxes fields, so respondents can pick more than one option. If a form you imported earlier has a single-choice Multiple choice field instead, import it again or replace the field with Checkboxes. After connecting the tool, choose to import All forms or Select forms only. When you import from Typeform, the Import responses switch is on by default and brings the form’s past submissions into Fillout too. Turn it off to import only the form. If your organization isn’t verified, you can import at most 200 forms at once.

​

Import a Google Form

Click 3rd Party, then Google forms. Fillout’s AI form builder opens on fillout.com in a new tab, where you can turn your Google Form into a Fillout form.

​

Convert your PDF into a form

You can upload a PDF, and Fillout will automatically convert it into an editable form.

​

Use AI

Click With AI. A blank form opens with the Agent panel. Describe your form or paste your questions, and the Form Agent builds the fields. Learn more about creating forms with AI.

​

Start with a template

You can use pre-built designs as a starting point for your new form.

​

Export a form

You can share your form as a template for your team or others to use. In the side menu under Fillout, open My forms or the Fillout workspace your form is in. Hover over the form and click the ellipsis icon followed by Export form. A copy will automatically be downloaded to your device.

​

Move forms

To move a form to My forms or another Fillout workspace, click the three dots on the form followed by Move to. See Move a form.
