ihateforms exists because everyday forms break in predictable ways: previews look filled but save blank, scans are not fillable, upload photos fail size checks, signatures sit on white paper, and web forms ship without labels. We built focused tools that fix one step at a time, in your browser, without an account or file upload. Fix the annoying parts of PDFs, scans, signatures, photos, and HTML forms—in your browser, without an account.

Why this exists
ihateforms exists because everyday forms break in predictable ways: previews look filled but save blank, scans are not fillable, upload photos fail size checks, signatures sit on white paper, and web forms ship without labels. We built focused tools that fix one step at a time, in your browser, without an account or file upload. We built a small set of tools for the moments where a form is almost done—but not quite.
Viewers often show fields on screen without writing values into the file. When you email or upload it, the recipient sees empty boxes. Our fill tool writes answers into the form so they stay when you download.
Use Fill PDF Form →Many document forms are flat PDFs or scans. Draw text, checkbox, and signature boxes on the page, then download a fillable copy you can type into.
Use Add Form Fields →Load the filled file, change the values that are already there, and export a new copy—without redoing the entire form.
Use Edit Filled Form →Some portals want a form where answers cannot be changed in a viewer. Flattening turns field values into normal page content.
Use Flatten Form →Phone photos and scans are rarely the right size. Resize to common box dimensions while keeping aspect ratio, then use the PNG on your form.
Use Resize Signature →Upload portals and PDF viewers look better with a transparent PNG. Remove near-white paper from a scan before placing the signature.
Use Remove Signature Background →Online forms enforce pixel dimensions and file size limits. Resize and compress to common passport and visa presets locally.
Use Compress Form Photo →Prototype an intake or request form, set field labels and names, then download standalone HTML or JSON to host yourself.
Use HTML Form Builder →Audit what is in a form, back up answers, or pull a field list into a spreadsheet. Export runs locally as CSV or JSON.
Use Export Form Fields →Inspect every field name, type, value, and on-page position before you fill, export, or rebuild the form.
Use Field Inspector →Paste HTML markup and catch missing labels, names, and duplicate ids before you publish—not a full WCAG audit, but fast.
Use Form Accessibility Checker →Simple by design
