The 100% beginner friendly WordPress form builder. Drag & drop form fields to build beautiful, professional contact forms in minutes.
As one of WordPress’ oldest form builders, we’re proud to serve users from around the world, from all walks of life, and from different stages of online growth. From the small businesses and local nonprofits that make up the core Ninja Forms user base to universities, hospitals, and even Fortune 500 companies, we’ll scale with you from startup to wherever you’re aiming for.
We’re committed to offering as many free, open source tools as we can get away with to back you up in the extremely price-conscious early days. As you grow, pick and choose only the premium features you need as you need them. We’ll grow with you from there for as far as you want to take us.
We’re also committed to respecting your privacy and time. No unsolicited emails or aggressive marketing. No paywalling basic features or scraping private data. We offer a fully staffed team of support experts and a comprehensive library of plugin documentation for all users, free and paid, to help keep you collecting the submissions that move your business forward.
We look forward to seeing where you’ll take us!
When you’re starting out, even little expenses add up quickly. That’s why Ninja Forms core will always be free and open source. It’s why we try to offer as much in core as we can to cover your basic needs at no cost. Here’s a peek at some of what core has to offer.

Ninja Forms® is a registered trademark of Saturday Drive INC. We are a WordPress forms or WP forms builder, not to be confused with the independent WPForms brand for WordPress. All official Ninja Forms add-ons and memberships can be found on our official website, ninjaforms.com.
This section describes how to install the plugin and get it working.

Yes. All user submitted data is stored locally on your server only, unless you expressly configure the plugin to send it elsewhere, for example via an email action. We never see or collect any user submitted data, nor do we act as Data Controllers or Data Processors per GDPR Article 4 for any data submitted by users of the forms you create. Your forms can be configured to flag and/or not record Personally Identifiable Information (PII) on a per form basis. If you do collect PII using Ninja Forms, you can automate export or delete data requests.
Ninja Forms can be and is used on sites that require HIPAA compliance, but overall compliance depends on factors outside of the control of any WordPress form builder.
Yes! Any number of emails can be sent to any number of recipients anytime a contact form is submitted. Every email triggered by a contact form submission can be customized in the form builder, including the presentation of the form submission data. Attachments are supported (and can include file uploads from the form). These form emails can also be sent conditionally based on specific triggers, and can be set up to include a PDF copy of the form.
Almost certainly. The contact form builder integrates directly with over a dozen email marketing and CRM services including MailChimp, Constant Contact, ActiveCampaign, HubSpot, Salesforce, Insightly, Zoho, and many more.
Ninja Forms also integrates with 1,000+ other popular services through our Zapier integration.
