Auto Form Builder is a powerful, fully free WordPress form plugin that gives you everything you need to create professional forms — without touching a single line of code.

Whether you’re building a simple contact form, a multi-step feedback form, a file upload form, or a complex form with conditional logic, Auto Form Builder handles it all from an intuitive drag-and-drop interface.

Every feature listed below is included in the free plugin. No upsells hidden behind core functionality.

Why Auto Form Builder?

Most form plugins lock their best features behind expensive subscriptions. Auto Form Builder gives you conditional logic, form analytics, spam protection, submission management, webhooks, import/export, and full visual customization — all completely free.

Drag & Drop Form Builder

Building a form takes minutes. Open the builder, drag your fields onto the canvas, and you’re done. The builder supports undo/redo, a live preview with desktop, tablet, and mobile views, and instant shortcode generation so you can embed your form anywhere on your site.

10+ Field Types

Every common field type is included:

Text Input
Textarea
Email
Phone
Number
Date & Time
Checkbox
Radio Buttons
Dropdown
Name Field
Address
File Upload

Pre-Built Templates

Start faster with ready-to-use form templates including Contact Form, Feedback Form, Support Request, Newsletter Signup, Event Registration, and more. Every template is fully customizable after creation.

Conditional Logic

Show or hide any field based on what a user has already entered. Set multiple conditions per field using AND or OR logic. Build smart, dynamic forms that adapt to each visitor — all without any code.

Full Visual Customization

Make your forms match your brand perfectly. The Customize tab gives you control over:

Theme presets — Corporate, Minimal, Modern, Eco, Friendly, Luxury, Neutral, Creative, Feminine, Fresh, and more
Header image / banner per form
Background, colors, fonts, layout
Field styling and button design
Visual effects

Every change is previewed live across desktop, tablet, and mobile.

Submission Management

All your form submissions are organized in a clean inbox-style interface with Unread, Starred, Read, Spam, and Trash tabs. Search submissions by any field value — name, email, phone, or any custom field. Filter by form or date range, sort by newest or oldest, and print submissions directly from the dashboard.

Email Notifications

Get notified instantly when a form is submitted. Admin notification emails and user confirmation emails are both supported and fully configurable per form.

Form Analytics (Built-In Add-On)

Track exactly how your forms are performing. The analytics dashboard shows total views, total submissions, average conversion rate, and per-form breakdowns — all with a 30-day activity chart. Sync historical submissions, and reset data anytime. Form analytics is included free and activatable from the Add-Ons page.

Spam Protection (Built-In Add-Ons)

Two spam protection options are included free:

Google reCAPTCHA — industry-standard bot protection
Cloudflare Turnstile — a privacy-first, user-friendly CAPTCHA alternative with a better experience for real visitors

Both are activatable from the Add-Ons page. Use one or both on any form.

Import & Export

Export your forms and entries for backup or migration. Import forms onto any WordPress site in seconds. Perfect for agencies managing multiple client sites.

Webhooks

Connect your forms to any external service or automation platform using built-in webhook support. Send submission data to Zapier, Make, or any custom endpoint the moment a form is submitted.

Extend with Paid Add-Ons

The free plugin is complete and fully functional on its own. For teams and agencies that want to go further, premium add-ons are available to extend specific functionality.

And don’t forget — watch the video above to the end. There’s a bonus waiting for you: 2 premium add-ons worth $38, completely free.
