In short: Upload a PDF or Word template and get a Google Form in your Drive. Built for healthcare professionals. Files up to 5 MB. First form free.
Paper forms slow down intake - and digital rebuilding takes time you don't have
Healthcare professionals have carefully designed intake and assessment documents. Converting them to digital forms manually - field by field in Google Forms - takes hours that could go toward patient care.
Doc2Form reads the structure of your existing PDFs and Word documents and builds the matching Google Form in your Drive. Text fields, checkboxes, dropdowns, and rating scales are detected from the source document. Upload a file up to 5 MB or use describe mode to generate a form from a brief description.
Forms stay in your Google account
Every form Doc2Form creates is a standard Google Form in your Drive. Responses stay within your Google account - they're not stored by Doc2Form after the conversion. Share the form by link, set response limits, and require sign-in if appropriate for your setting.
For clinical data collection, review your obligations under applicable privacy and data protection regulations before using any digital collection tool.
Based on a sample of 1,775 Google Forms generated by Doc2Form users, containing 55,761 questions across 47 languages. That is an average of 31 questions per form - roughly 21 minutes saved per form versus rebuilding each question by hand in the Forms editor (assuming ~40 seconds per question).

Common questions
Is patient data secure?
Doc2Form uses Google OAuth. Uploaded documents are processed to create the form and are not stored afterward. Responses go directly into your Google Drive. You are responsible for your account's security settings and compliance with applicable regulations.
Can it handle complex multi-section intake packets?
Yes. Documents with clear section headings - personal information, medical history, medications - produce forms with corresponding sections. Well-structured source documents improve accuracy.
What question types does it detect?
Multiple-choice, checkboxes, dropdowns, short-answer text, paragraph text, and linear scales - when clearly formatted in the source document.
Does it cost anything?
The first form is free, no credit card required. Credit packs are available after that. The project is open source for practices that prefer to self-host.
