Step 1: Create your account

Go to formswrite.com and click Sign Up. You can create an account using:
  • Google OAuth (recommended) — one click, automatically connects your Google Drive
  • Email and password — you’ll verify your email before accessing the dashboard
To convert documents and create Google Forms, Formswrite needs access to your Google account. You’ll be asked to grant the following permissions:
  • Google Forms — so Formswrite can create forms in your account
  • Google Drive — so Formswrite can read your documents and save created forms
If you sign up with Google, these permissions are granted automatically.

Step 2: Complete onboarding

After signing up, you’ll go through a quick 3-step onboarding:
  1. Select your role — Teacher/Educator, Student, or Other
  2. Choose your goals — Select which platforms you want to export to (Google Forms, Kahoot, Canvas, etc.) and which AI tools you’re interested in
  3. Organization info (optional) — Add your school or organization name
You can skip onboarding and come back to it later from your account settings.

Step 3: Convert your first document

From the dashboard, you have two ways to get started:
  1. Click Select from Google Drive
  2. Choose a document (Google Doc, PDF, Word, or spreadsheet)
  3. Formswrite analyzes the document and extracts questions using AI
  4. Review and edit the extracted questions
  5. Choose your destination platform and click Convert
PDF tip: PDF conversion uses OCR and may not always preserve formatting perfectly. For best results, use Google Docs or Word documents (.docx) as your source — these formats give Formswrite the most accurate text extraction.

Step 4: Choose your destination

After reviewing your questions, select where you want to export:
  • Google Forms — creates a form directly in your Google Drive
  • Formswrite Form — creates a native form with built-in analytics and timer support
  • LMS platforms — Canvas, Moodle, Blackboard, Brightspace, Schoology, and more
  • Quiz platforms — Kahoot, Quizizz, Blooket, Gimkit, Socrative, and more
  • Standard formats — QTI, GIFT, Aiken for universal LMS compatibility
