FormSubmit is the missing backend for static sites built with Hugo, Jekyll, Eleventy, Astro, Gatsby, Next.js static export and more.

The problem

Static hosting is fast, cheap and secure precisely because there's no server — which also means nothing to receive a form POST.

How FormSubmit helps

Your form posts directly to your FormSubmit endpoint from the browser. You get a redirect or JSON response, an email, a searchable inbox and integrations, and your site stays 100% static on any host.

Host-independent

Move from Netlify to Vercel to Cloudflare Pages to GitHub Pages without touching your forms.

Get started

  1. Sign in with Google — the free plan includes one form.
  2. Create a form, or start from a template in the form generator.
  3. Paste the snippet into your site and send a test.
