Description

Never lose form data again — automatically save users’ input across all WordPress forms (Elementor, CF7, Gravity, JetForm & more).
Lightweight, privacy-safe, and beautifully simple.

Form Auto-Save ensures your users never lose the information they enter in your site’s forms.
Whether they refresh the page, close it by mistake, or lose connection — their data is safely restored next time they open the same form.
Works seamlessly with all major form plugins, including Elementor, Contact Form 7, Gravity Forms, JetForm and any standard HTML form.
Lightweight, privacy-friendly (uses only localStorage), and requires zero setup — it just works.

Upgrade to Pro:
Unlock extra features including custom storage type (local/session), expiration days, user-based saves, and admin management tools.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this plugin store any data on the server?

No. All form data is stored locally in the user’s browser using localStorage. It never leaves their device.

Does it work with Elementor forms?

Yes, it works with Elementor Pro forms, Contact Form 7, JetForm, Gravity Forms, and any HTML form that uses <form> tags.

Can I control how long the data is saved?

In the Lite version, data is stored indefinitely until the form is submitted successfully.
In the Pro version, you can set expiration days and choose between localStorage and sessionStorage.
