Your form links can now carry data. Two new tricks, on every plan:

• Hidden fields capture query parameters invisibly. Add a hidden field named utm_source, share formbear.app/f/abc123?utm_source=newsletter, and every submission from that link records where it came from: in the response table, the summary, and CSV exports. Perfect for UTM tags, campaign names, or your own user ids.
• URL prefill fills visible questions ahead of time. A parameter matching a question's label becomes its editable default: [email protected]&Color=Blue prefills the email question and selects the Blue option. Values that don't fit a question are simply ignored, so a mistyped link never breaks a form.

Both work with choice questions too (match options by label, comma-separate multi-select values), and hidden fields are never required, so a link without parameters submits as usual.

Read the details in the hidden fields & URL prefill docs.

Formbear is out. A design-led form builder, hosted in the EU, with a free plan that doesn't run out: unlimited forms and responses (within our Fair Use Policy), on infrastructure that keeps every answer in Europe.

What ships in 1.0:

• A document-style builder. Type / to add questions, drag blocks to reorder, split long forms into pages. Twelve question types, from short text to ratings and file upload.
• Forms that look like yours. Themes with full control over color, type, radius, and layout; light and dark; custom fonts; a guided one-question-at-a-time mode; custom CSS and custom domains on Pro.
• Fast, accessible public forms. Server-rendered, keyboard-friendly, and working even without JavaScript. Share a link or embed anywhere.
• Results you can read. A response table, per-question summaries, CSV export, and privacy-friendly traffic analytics built in.
• An AI assistant (Pro). Ask questions about your responses and get grounded answers, aggregated on the server so raw answers never leave it.
• European by default. EU-owned hosting, response answers encrypted at rest, GDPR compliance without an asterisk.

Thanks for building with us. This page is where every release lands from now on.
