Import forms from Typeform

Connect your Typeform account and import any of your forms in one click (questions, logic, and structure included).
 

Import forms from a file

Upload a PDF, image or screenshot, JSON, CSV, or Markdown file, and Tally turns it into an editable draft form. Upload multiple files at once and Tally creates a form for each one.
This is the import to use when you're moving from a builder Tally doesn't connect to yet, digitizing a paper form, or turning existing content like a spreadsheet, a Markdown doc or a form you found online into something people can fill out.

How it works:
Click + New form, select Import from, then choose your file type.
 
  • One file → your draft form opens in the builder so you can review and edit it.
  • Multiple files → each file becomes its own draft form, and you land in your workspace to review them.

Importing a file generates the form's questions. Conditional logic and calculations aren't extracted automatically, add these after import if your form needs them.
 

Use Tally AI

Prefer a more conversational approach? Tally AI builds a complete form from a plain-language prompt, or recreates one from a screenshot or PDF shared directly in the chat, logic, structure, and branding included.
