Question 1

How do I convert a PDF to a Google Form?

Accepted Answer

Sign in with Google, upload your PDF or Word document, and Doc2Form uses Gemini AI to extract questions and create a native Google Form in your Drive — usually in under 60 seconds. No copy-paste. Your first conversion is free.

Question 2

What file formats does Doc2Form support?

Accepted Answer

PDF (.pdf) and Microsoft Word (.docx) files up to 5 MB. Scanned PDFs and image-based documents work too — Gemini AI reads them visually (AI vision / OCR-style extraction).

Question 3

Can you convert a scanned PDF to a Google Form?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Doc2Form uses AI vision to read scanned PDFs, photos of paper forms, and image-heavy documents — not only digital text PDFs. Messy scans and many handwritten layouts often work worse in tools that only handle clean text.

Question 4

Is there a free PDF to Google Form converter?

Accepted Answer

Doc2Form includes one free conversion when you sign in — no credit card. After that you buy credit packs; credits never expire and there is no subscription. The open-source Google Apps Script on GitHub is free forever if you self-host.

Question 5

How does the conversion work?

Accepted Answer

Your document is sent to Gemini AI, which identifies questions, answer options, and sections. Then the Google Forms API creates a properly structured form in your Drive with the right question types — multiple choice, short answer, scales, checkboxes, and more.

Question 6

Can I describe a form instead of uploading a document?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Type a description like "10-question customer satisfaction survey with rating scales" and Doc2Form generates the form. No file needed.

Question 7

Does Google Forms have a PDF import feature?

Accepted Answer

Google Forms cannot import a PDF directly. Gemini "Help me create" can reference files on some paid Workspace plans, but it is not a simple upload for every account and is limited for scanned PDFs. Doc2Form is built to convert PDF and Word files — including scans — into a real Google Form in your Drive.

Question 8

Can AI create a Google Form from a document?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Doc2Form sends your file or description to Gemini AI, which detects questions, options, scales, and sections. The Google Forms API then creates an editable form with the appropriate field types.

Question 9

Do I need a Google Workspace add-on to use Doc2Form?

Accepted Answer

No. Doc2Form runs in your browser at doc2form.dev - sign in with Google and upload your PDF or Word file. Many tools in this category are Drive sidebar add-ons; Doc2Form is a URL-first flow with pay-as-you-go credits that never expire, strong support for scanned PDFs via AI vision, documents processed not stored, and optional self-hosting from the open-source Apps Script repo.

Question 10

Where does the form appear?

Accepted Answer

In your Google Drive, under Google Forms. You get an edit link and a share link. The form works with Google Sheets, Classroom, and all Google Workspace features.

Question 11

Can I edit the form after generation?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. It is a standard Google Form in your Drive. Add questions, change settings, add collaborators, adjust the theme — everything works the same as a form you would create manually.

Question 12

Does Doc2Form store my documents?

Accepted Answer

No. Documents are processed to extract the form structure and then discarded. Only the form title and links are saved to your account — a strong fit for HR, legal, and healthcare workflows that worry about retention.

Question 13

Is it free?

Accepted Answer

Your first form is free — no credit card needed. After that, credit packs start at $5 for 10 forms. Credits never expire; there is no subscription. The open-source version on GitHub is free forever.

Question 14

What is the open-source version?

Accepted Answer

Doc2Form is built on open-source Google Apps Script you can install in your own Google account for unlimited free use. The hosted version is for people who prefer to skip the setup.
