How it works

How to make a contract online

Your client fills in a form and signs it. Formester puts their answers and signature into your contract and creates the PDF.

01

Build the contract form

Generate it with AI above, start from a contract template, or add the fields yourself: client name, project, fee, start date, and a Signature field.

02

Add your contract PDF

Open the PDF Editor on the form. Upload the contract you already use, design one from scratch, or describe it and let AI lay out a first draft. The PDF Editor is part of the Business plan.

03

Place the answers and signature

Drag each form field onto the line where its answer belongs, and put the Signature field on the signature line.

04

Share the link

Send the form link to your client. When they sign and submit, Formester creates the filled contract PDF and sends it where you chose.

Real output

One contract, filled in by every client

You set up the contract once. Each client who fills in the form gets the same contract with their own details and signature in place.
