What Is WPForms?<\/h2>\n

\"wpforms\"<\/p>\n

WPForms<\/a>\u00a0is a freemium WordPress form builder plugin which is handled by the Awesome Motive, Inc. They also got the\u00a0OptinMonster<\/a>,\u00a0MonsterInsights<\/a>,\u00a0SeedProd<\/a>, etc. The basic version of WPForms is free. You can search for\u00a0WPForms Lite<\/a>\u00a0in the WordPress plugins repository and simply install it from there.<\/p>\n

However, like every free WordPress plugins, you will see some limitations in the free plan. For creating simple contact forms and suggestion forms, the free version is good enough. When you need more advanced features and power, we recommend you using the premium version.<\/p>\n

When Do You Need a File Upload Form?<\/h2>\n

For improving your business.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s say that you are running a software troubleshooting business and also have a website for easy communication. When someone needs to show you a screenshot or send you a file, they need to upload the item to cloud storage like Google Drive, get the sharable link and send it to you via your contact form.<\/p>\n

It will take some more time.<\/p>\n

When you have WPForms in your hand, you can easily create a file upload form in your WordPress blog. So, the users will be able to upload files through the form directly. You can allow uploading images, documents, audio, video through the forms.<\/p>\n
