Easy Tech TutsHow to Remove Jotform Branding From a Website Easily 2026
By Impran M NLast checked against official docs
The default "Powered by Jotform" footer is a small thing, but it undercuts an otherwise polished, custom-branded site, especially if you're an agency handing a form off to a client. Turning it off isn't buried in the form builder itself; it's an account-wide setting, which means it's easy to look in the wrong place. This guide covers finding the branding toggle, the specific plan tiers that unlock it, and the branding this setting doesn't touch even after you've turned it off.
Before you start
- A Jotform account on Bronze, Silver, or Gold — branding removal isn't available on the free Starter plan
01Open Settings from your profile menu
Click your avatar in the top-right corner of any Jotform screen to open the account dropdown. It shows your plan tier at a glance, a Forms usage bar, an Upgrade Your Plan button, and links to Admin Console, Settings, and Logout.
Click Settings. Branding controls live here, at the account level, not inside any individual form's build view, which is the detail that sends most people looking in the wrong place first.
02Uncheck the Jotform Branding checkbox
On the Settings page, scroll past general account options such as Sender Emails, Form Caches, and Bounce List until you reach the Jotform Branding section. It has a single checkbox labeled "Show 'Powered by Jotform' on my forms," next to an Upgrade Account button.
Uncheck it and the footer tag comes off your forms, your Visual Reports, your apps, and your Sign Documents going forward. Right below it is a separate White Label Jotform option, a bigger, Enterprise-level feature for building your own brand into the platform itself, and it's not required just to drop the footer text.
03Know what this toggle does not remove
This one setting is narrower than it looks. It doesn't touch autoresponder emails that were already set up before you unchecked it; those keep the old branding until you open and resave each one by hand.
It also can't remove the Jotform name from your form's own URL, from the Jotform logo in email digest headers, or from the terms-of-service and policy links a respondent sees if they click through from your form. None of that is a bug. It's simply outside what the branding checkbox controls, and only the Enterprise White Label option changes it.
04Confirm the change on the form, then refresh embeds
The Upgrade Account button next to the checkbox is a real signal: branding removal requires moving off the free Starter plan to Bronze, Silver, or Gold. If the checkbox won't stay checked, or reverts after you save, that's your plan tier, not a bug, and upgrading is the fix.
If your form is embedded on a website, WordPress or otherwise, the embed frame can keep showing the old footer even after your account setting updates. Refresh the page it's embedded on, and clear any caching plugin on a WordPress site, so visitors see the change right away instead of after their next cache expiry.
When it doesn't work
The checkbox won't stay unchecked
Why: The account is on the free Starter plan, which doesn't support branding removal.
Fix: Upgrade to Bronze, Silver, or Gold; the checkbox will hold once the plan supports it.
A confirmation email still shows 'Powered by Jotform' after you turned branding off
Why: That particular autoresponder email was created before you changed the setting, and existing autoresponders don't update retroactively.
Fix: Open that autoresponder in the form's own Settings and resave it.
The old footer still shows on an embedded WordPress page
Why: The embed frame or a WordPress caching plugin is still serving a cached copy of the form.
Fix: Refresh the page and clear the site's cache, or the cache plugin specifically if one is active.
Frequently asked questions
Is removing Jotform branding available on the free plan?
No. It requires upgrading from the free Starter plan to Bronze, Silver, or Gold.
Does this also remove branding from confirmation emails?
Only partly. It clears branding going forward, but autoresponder emails that already existed before you turned the setting off keep the old footer until you open and resave each one. The Jotform logo in account-level email digest headers is unaffected either way.
Will removing branding affect an already-embedded form on WordPress?
You may need to refresh the embed, and clear any WordPress caching plugin, before the unbranded version shows to visitors.
Can I remove branding from individual forms only?
No, the toggle is account-wide. It applies to every form on the account at once, not one at a time.
Does this remove the Jotform name from my form's URL?
No. The branding checkbox only removes the visible footer tag. Jotform's name stays in the form's own URL and in the linked terms-of-service and policy pages regardless of plan, unless you move to Enterprise's White Label option instead.
Sources and last check
Click path and plan-gating re-checked against Jotform's own help article in September 2026. That check corrected the original draft's claim that this setting fully clears branding from confirmation emails: it only applies going forward, and pre-existing autoresponders, form URLs, and email digest headers are unaffected.
