Doc2Form gives one free form and then charges $5 for 10 forms, which is hard to beat for occasional use. ## What Doc2Form does Its site says the first form is free, then credit packs start at $5 for 10 forms. Credits never expire and there is no subscription. Accepted inputs are PDF files (including scanned documents), Word documents (.docx), images (JPG or PNG) and plain-text descriptions, with a 5 MB file limit. The output is a native Google Form created in your Drive. Conversions typically finish in under 60 seconds, and documents are processed to extract the form structure and then discarded. An open-source Google Apps Script version is available on GitHub for self-hosting. ## Comparison table | | Doc2Form | Formswrite | | --- | --- | --- | | Pricing model | First form free, then $5 for 10 forms | Free plan with 5 Formswrite Forms per month, paid plans for other exports | | Inputs | PDF, DOCX, images, text prompt (5 MB limit) | Google Docs, Word, PDF, Excel, Google Sheets | | Main output | Google Forms | Google Forms plus Canvas, Blackboard, Moodle, Schoology, Kahoot, Quizizz, Blooket, Gimkit, Socrative, QTI and more | | Quiz generation | Converts existing forms | AI quiz, worksheet and study guide generation | | Grading | Not stated | AI grading of essays and Google Form quizzes | | Live play | Not stated | Formswrite Play timed game | | Self-hosting | Open-source script | Hosted service | ## Pick Doc2Form if - You convert a few documents a month and prefer buying credits to a plan. - Your source is an image or scanned page and Google Forms is the only target. - You want a free route and are comfortable with a Google Apps Script and a Gemini API key. ## Pick Formswrite if - You need the same quiz in several places, such as Google Forms for homework and Kahoot for review. Formswrite exports to 20+ platforms. - You build tests in Word or Google Docs and want the conversion done in one click, with answer keys. - You want AI to write the questions or grade essays.

Our [Word to Google Form converter](/convert/word-to-google-form) is the starting point, and the [Formswrite versus GetMarked comparison](/blog/formswrite-vs-getmarked-which-tool-should-you-choose-in-2025) shows the same logic against another converter. Be aware of the cost model. Doc2Form's credit packs are cheaper for light use, while Formswrite's paid plans cover higher volume and exports. Check the Formswrite pricing page for current plan prices rather than relying on a blog post. ## A quick way to decide Count how many conversions you do in a term. For under ten, Doc2Form's credit packs (one free form, then $5 for 10) are hard to beat on price. For weekly conversion, or when each test must also live in Kahoot, Quizizz or an LMS, the time you save on exports matters more than the price per form. Also consider what you convert: Doc2Form takes images and scanned pages, which suits a photographed worksheet. Formswrite is built around text documents such as Word files, PDFs, Google Docs and spreadsheets, with answer keys carried into the quiz. If you are unsure, convert one real test in each tool and compare how much cleanup the result needs. [Convert a Word file to a Google Form](/convert/word-to-google-form) ## FAQ Is Doc2Form free?
