How to use Contact Form 7 to HTML Converter
Contact Form 7 shortcodes describe fields compactly, but a static site needs ordinary HTML with labels, names, values, and a backend action. Convert a form definition, then review the generated markup before connecting it to a live endpoint.
Translate fields into HTML
A required CF7 tag becomes a required HTML control, while select, radio, checkbox, textarea, and file tags become semantic elements with explicit values. Keep the original field names when downstream workflows depend on them.
[text* full-name autocomplete:name]
becomes
<label for="full-name">Full name</label>
<input id="full-name" name="full-name"
autocomplete="name" required />Review the static form
The converter handles structure, not your business policy. Set the real endpoint, access key, subject, consent copy, upload limits, and success behavior after conversion, then submit a synthetic test from the deployed page.
<form action="https://api.formsfort.com/submit" method="POST">
<input type="hidden" name="access_key"
value="YOUR_ACCESS_KEY" />
<!-- converted fields -->
<button type="submit">Send</button>
</form>
