JotForm is a San Francisco-based online form building company.[2] JotForm's software creates forms with a drag and drop creation tool and an option to encrypt user data.[3] As of 2015, JotForm had 2 million registered users and 7,000 form templates.[4] The forms can be integrated on external sites including MailChimp, PayPal, Stripe, and Salesforce.[5]

History

JotForm was founded in 2006 by Aytekin Tank.[4][6][7]

In 2011, JotForm released Wishbox, a feedback tool that annotates screenshots.[8][9]

By 2012, JotForm had over 700,000 users and published over 2 million user forms.[10]

In February 2012, the United States Secret Service shut down the JotForm site as part of an undisclosed investigation of user-created forms. After two days, the site was back up.[2][11][12]

JotForm released an Adobe Document Cloud eSign Widget in June 2015 for embedded esigning into forms.[13][14]

In April 2016, JotForm announced that its software was available on Weebly.[15] In December 2016, the company partnered with IFTTT to integrate an "Applet" to create forms in other applications.[16][17] Tech Times recognized JotForm online form integration on Slack as one of the "Best Productivity Apps" of 2016.[18]

In 2018, JotForm acquired Noupe[19] an online magazine.
