Turn any form into a true web app.
Paper, Word, Excel, or PDF — rebuilt as a fillable, database-backed web form that looks exactly like your original.
Self-hostable on your own server. Done for you. Workflow and e-signatures added only where your process needs them.
One platform, from paper to live data.
FormVera converts any form into a live, database-backed web app — preserving the exact layout, with workflow as an optional layer.
Any source
Paper, scans, Word, Excel, or PDF — if it's a form, it becomes a web app.
Exact layout
Your form, not our template. The rendered app matches the original, field for field.
Your database
Every submission is structured, searchable data — not a flat file or an inbox.
Optional workflow
Add routing, approvals, and e-signatures only where your process needs them.
Send a form. Get a working app.
A done-for-you path from the form you already have to a live, auditable web application.
Send us your form
Hand over the form you already use — paper, PDF, Word, Excel, or a scan.
We rebuild it, true to the original
We reproduce the exact layout as a fillable, responsive web app — done for you.
It writes to a database
Submissions become structured, searchable records you can report on and export.
Add workflow if you want it
Routing, approvals, e-signatures, dashboards, and integrations — layered on as needed.
Your form, not a generic copy.
Most tools extract your fields and drop them into their own template — so the result looks nothing like the form your team and your auditors know. FormVera reproduces the original layout exactly. For government and regulated forms, that fidelity is the difference between a form people trust and one they don't.
- The same structure, sections, and field order as the source document
- Print output that matches the official form when a paper copy is still required
- Keep your exact format — or choose a modern redesign. Your call.
same structure · same field order · field-for-field
Install it on your own server.
FormVera can be self-hosted on your infrastructure, so submission data never touches the cloud or the public internet. You decide where data lives, who can access it, and how it's backed up — the trust signal regulated buyers screen for first.
Accessible and auditable by design.
FormVera is built to meet the accessibility standards public-sector and healthcare procurement asks for, with an audit trail on every record.
Accessibility, by name
Built to meet WCAG 2.1 AA — the standard behind AODA (Ontario) and Section 508 (US federal).
Two-dimensional audit trail
Track both the form version a record was submitted on and every change to the submission afterward.
Data residency you control
With self-hosting, you decide the jurisdiction and the deployment boundary — not a vendor.
Workflow is a layer, not the headline.
Many forms just need to be filled and saved. When a process needs more, FormVera adds it without forcing you into an enterprise automation suite.
How FormVera compares
Most form tools sit in one of two camps: SaaS builders that rebuild your form into their template, or developer toolkits you self-host but have to build yourself. FormVera is the combination regulated teams actually need.

Frequently asked
What kinds of forms can FormVera convert?
Paper forms, scanned images, Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, and PDFs. If it's a form your team fills in, it can be rebuilt as a live web app.
Will the web form look exactly like my original form?
Yes — reproducing the exact layout is the core of FormVera. The rendered app matches the structure, sections, and field order of your source document, which matters most for government and regulated forms.
Can FormVera be self-hosted on our own server?
Yes. FormVera can be installed on your own infrastructure so that submission data never has to touch the public internet or a third-party cloud.
Where is our data stored — does it leave our network?
With self-hosting, your data stays inside your network. You control the deployment boundary, the data-residency jurisdiction, who has access, and how it is backed up.
Are FormVera forms accessible (WCAG / AODA / Section 508)?
FormVera is built to meet WCAG 2.1 AA, the conformance standard behind AODA in Ontario and Section 508 in the US federal government.
Do I have to use approval workflows?
No. Workflow is optional. Many forms simply need to be filled and saved; routing, approvals, and e-signatures are added only where a process requires them.
Can it connect to our existing database or systems?
Yes. Submissions are stored as structured data and can be integrated with the systems you already use.
How is FormVera different from Jotform, Formstack, or Microsoft Forms?
Those tools rebuild your form into their own template and run in their cloud. FormVera reproduces your exact form, can be self-hosted on your server, and is delivered done-for-you — with workflow as an optional layer rather than a required suite.
