Filling is free, every time — no account, no watermark, no upload. The form opens from your disk and stays there. Save your details once and every form after that fills itself.

Most form fillers match on the field's internal name. Real government forms don't
use meaningful names — the IRS uses f1_01[0],
Adobe emits Text1 — so those tools fill
nothing and you type it all yourself. FormFill reads the label you can see,
the same one you're reading.
Every one of these exists because of a complaint left on a competing product.
“Spend hour filling a pdf and then right about to print it they asked for money.”
Review of a form filler with 200,000 users, July 2025
“Pointless, all I wanted to do was fill a form on a local file, after opening it from my HDD.”

Fill as many forms as you like and download them. No paywall at the end, no watermark on the page, no account to open first.
The PDF is opened and written inside your browser. There is no server to send it to — which is also why it works with no internet connection.
Works on forms whose fields have no meaningful names, which is most official forms. That is the part other tools skip.
Tax numbers, bank details and ID numbers are never filled automatically. They are shown for you to confirm. A wrong name is an annoyance; a wrong tax number is a filing error.
Fields labelled for a spouse, guarantor, witness or dependent are left for you. Your details don't leak into another person's section.
Flatten the finished form so the values can't be edited afterwards — useful when you're sending it on rather than printing it.
Filling forms is free and stays free. Paying removes the retyping.
Email me the day it's live — one message, nothing else.
One price, billed yearly. Cancel any time and keep using the free tier — your saved details are on your computer, so they don't disappear when a subscription does.
Yes. FormFill reads and writes the PDF inside your own browser, and the extension contains no code that can send a file anywhere. The simplest proof is that it works with your internet disconnected — try it.
In your browser's local storage, on your computer. There is no account and no server holding them, so nobody — including us — can read them. Clearing your browser data clears them too, which is why the extension lets you download a backup.
Both kinds. PDFs that already contain form fields — including the ones whose fields have meaningless internal names, which is most official forms. And flat PDFs with no form fields at all: council forms, court forms and older documents that are just printed lines to write on. FormFill finds those lines, reads the label beside each one, and writes your answer onto the page.
One kind it deliberately refuses: dynamic XFA forms — the ones that show "Please wait… if this message is not eventually replaced by the proper contents of this document" in anything but Adobe Reader. Their fields live in a layer no browser tool can write to. FormFill detects them and stops, rather than filling the visible page and handing you a file that looks complete and opens blank. For those, Adobe Acrobat Reader is genuinely the answer.
More on the two awkward cases: a PDF with no fields at all, and a fillable form that won't let you type.
The exception is a photograph or a scan with no text layer. There is nothing to read on those, and FormFill does not do handwriting recognition.
There isn't one, and the reason is specific: the most common complaint about existing form fillers is being asked to pay after spending an hour filling the form. Charging for the fill is the thing we're deliberately not doing. Pro is for people who fill forms often enough that retyping their details is the real cost.
No, by design. Those are shown for you to confirm before anything is written. A wrong name in a box is an annoyance; a wrong tax number is a filing error, and no time saving is worth that risk.
Yes — within 30 days, no questions asked. The refund policy has the details.
