The quickest free Gravity Forms templates are already in your plugin: go to Forms → New Form and pick one of the 23 built-in templates. For anything more specific, download a ready-made form export (a .json file) and bring it in under Forms → Import/Export → Import Forms. Below are all the free templates I’ve built and tested for Gravity Ranger, each with a tutorial that explains how it works, plus the other good places to find templates.
Where to Find Gravity Forms Templates

1. The Built-In Template Library
Since version 2.7, Gravity Forms opens a template library every time you click Forms → New Form. Pick a template, give the form a name, and it opens in the editor ready to change. The same 23 templates are listed on the Gravity Forms website.
The templates are: Simple Contact, Advanced Contact, Contest Entry, Donation, eCommerce, Stripe Checkout, PayPal Checkout, Employment Application, Event Registration, Gift Certificate, Newsletter Signup, Request a Quote, Survey, User Registration, Webinar Registration, Signature Consent, Testimonial, Stripe Membership, Stripe Event Sponsorship, Support Request, Square Course Registration, Square School Enrollment and Agency Project Inquiry.
Templates that take payments or signatures need the matching add-on (Stripe, PayPal, Square, Signature, User Registration) to work fully. They’re good starting points, but they’re general. For a form that solves a specific problem, start with one of the templates below.

How to Import a Gravity Forms Template
A downloaded template is a .json file (sometimes inside a .zip with a small plugin or CSS file; unzip it first).
- In WordPress, go to Forms → Import/Export and click Import Forms.
- Click Choose Files and select the .json file. You can pick several at once.
- Check Import Images if the form uses images (in HTML fields or image choices), so they’re copied into your media library instead of pointing at someone else’s site.
- Click Import. The form appears in your Forms list with a new ID.
Check these after importing
- Notifications: change the To, From and Reply-To addresses to your own.
- Confirmations: a confirmation that redirects to a page needs one of your pages selected.
- Add-on feeds: Stripe, PayPal, Mailchimp and other feeds come across with the form but use your site’s own add-on settings, so connect the add-on first and then open each feed and save it.
- Snippets: if the template came with a small plugin, upload and activate it under Plugins.
- Test it: preview the form, submit a test entry, and check that the notification arrives.
