How it works
Three steps. No technical knowledge required.
Describe the form you need
Tell Exepad what kind of form it is — intake, registration, survey, application — and what should happen when someone submits it.
Take a photo of the paper form
Snap a photo with your phone or upload a scan. OCR extracts the field labels; computer vision detects the input types — text, checkbox, dropdown, date.
Publish in minutes
Your digital form is generated, live, and ready to share with a published URL. Share the link, embed it in a website, or send it directly to respondents.
Not a scanned image.
A working form.
The photo is the reference. The result is a real digital form with input validation, data capture, and a database — built to be filled in and managed.
Real form fields with validation
Text fields, email inputs, phone fields, dropdowns, checkboxes, and dates are recreated as real inputs — with validation, required markers, and proper types.
Submissions go straight into a database
Every submission is captured into the app's database — searchable, filterable, exportable. No more retyping from paper.
Reply to paper-form submissions
Every digital submission fires a confirmation to the respondent and a notification to your team. Built-in — no SendGrid, no Mailchimp plugin chain.
Search and filter every submission
Find any submission instantly. Filter by date, status, or any custom field. Export filtered results to CSV with a click.
Submission analytics
See submissions over time, completion rates, drop-off points, and field-level statistics. Built in.
Works on every device
Respondents fill out the form on desktop, tablet, or phone. Responsive layouts replace squinting at a printed form.
Built for form photos
Exepad understands the structure inside your image — not just the pixels.
OCR for field labels
Optical character recognition reads every label and instruction printed on the form, then matches them to the right input next to them.
Input type detection
Computer vision identifies text fields, checkboxes, radio buttons, signature lines, and date fields from their visual appearance — no manual mapping.
Section grouping
Sections, headings, and field groupings on the paper form are recreated as form sections in the digital version. The layout intent carries over.
Hand-drawn forms work too
Even rough sketches and hand-drawn forms are recognised. Whiteboard sketches, napkin drawings, and informal mockups all become real digital forms.
Paper form vs. Exepad form
A paper form is a bottleneck. A digital form captures the data automatically — no typing, no filing, no lost paperwork.
Everything a paper form can't do
A paper form is a stack on a desk. A digital form is a tool that captures, validates, stores, and reports — without anyone retyping anything.
From paper photo to digital form
in one sitting
The image already shows the form. Exepad turns that into a working digital version — not a scanned image, not a fillable PDF.
Visible fields become real inputs
Text boxes, checkboxes, dropdowns, and signature lines on the paper form become working form inputs with validation and proper types.
Section labels become form sections
Headings and section dividers on the paper form become section breaks in the digital form, preserving the visual organisation.
Submissions become structured records
Every submission is stored as a structured record in the app's database — searchable, filterable, and exportable.
