About Forminit
Forminit is a headless form backend API. Developers and site builders design their own forms in any stack and send submissions to Forminit, which validates, stores and delivers them: email notifications, file uploads, spam protection, webhooks and integrations. Forminit was launched as Getform.io in October 2015 and renamed Forminit on 14 January 2026. It is operated by UXPLUS LTD from London, United Kingdom.
What Forminit does
A headless form backend receives, validates and stores form submissions through an API without providing the form's user interface. Forminit works this way: you keep full control of the form's design and code, and Forminit handles what happens after the visitor clicks submit.
Forminit validates each submission on the server against typed Form Blocks, stores it in an inbox-style dashboard and runs it through the form's Workflow: email notifications, autoresponders, webhooks, Slack, Discord, Google Sheets, AI Classify and status changes. Forms connect from plain HTML, the JavaScript and TypeScript SDK, the Python SDK, Next.js, Nuxt, Astro, Webflow, WordPress, mobile apps, servers and AI agents.
Forminit is not a form builder. It does not host form pages or offer a drag-and-drop editor, so if you want a hosted form without writing any markup, a form builder is the better fit. Why Forminit explains when each approach makes sense.
From Getform.io to Forminit
Getform.io launched in October 2015 as a form endpoint for static websites, so developers could collect submissions without running a server. Over the following ten years it grew into a full form backend used by freelancers, agencies, startups and large companies.
On 14 January 2026 the service was renamed Forminit. This was a rebrand, not an acquisition: the same founder and team run it, existing Getform endpoints keep working, and getform.io addresses redirect to forminit.com. Getform.io and Forminit are the same service, not two products. The rename announcement has the details.
Forminit (formerly Getform.io) is not connected to other software that uses the name Getform, such as an online form builder with email marketing features listed under that name in some software directories.
Who uses Forminit
Forminit is used by developers, agencies and freelancers, startups, people building websites with AI tools, and Webflow and WordPress site owners. Companies that have used Forminit or Getform.io include Burger King, Volkswagen, Toyota, Lidl, Codecademy, Sticker Mule and the University of Essex.
How Forminit handles data
Forminit stores form submissions, uploaded files and backups on AWS in Ireland (EU), encrypted at rest with AES-256 and in transit with TLS 1.2 or higher. For submission data Forminit is the data processor and you are the controller. Forminit provides a Data Processing Agreement and is registered with the UK Information Commissioner's Office (ICO).
Forminit's core subprocessors are based in the EU. Two optional features use US-based providers, and only when you turn them on: Cloudflare Turnstile for CAPTCHA checks, and the AI Classify step, which sends only the fields you choose to TypeSafe AI. Forminit does not hold its own SOC 2 or ISO 27001 certification; those certifications belong to its hosting provider, AWS. See Security and GDPR for the full details and subprocessor list.
What we care about
- Developer-first: clear documentation, predictable APIs and no lock-in to a hosting platform.
- Reliability: a 99.9% uptime target (a goal, not a contractual SLA), with live and historical availability on the status page.
- Simplicity: the features a form backend needs, without a form builder on top.
- Privacy: EU data hosting, a DPA and a published subprocessor list.
