Bring in your manuscript
Bring in your Word, Pages or Google Docs file. Koberger finds your chapters and builds the book around them. Anything it gets wrong, you can fix.
Book formatting software for indie authors
Turn your manuscript into a book you’re proud to publish.
Bring in your Word document, choose a design you like, and download EPUB and print PDF files, ready for Amazon, Kobo and every other store. No design skills needed, nothing to install.
From Word document to finished book.
Four steps, and you can see exactly what your book will look like at every one of them.
Add the other pages
Title page, copyright page, dedication, acknowledgements. The pages every book needs, and Koberger writes the ones it can for you.
Choose the look
Start from a ready-made design, then change the fonts, spacing, and chapter headings to suit your book.
Check it, then download it
Read every page as it will appear on a Kindle and as it will look in print. When you’re happy, download your EPUB and print PDF.
Book formatting built for authors who publish more than once.
Most formatting tools treat every book as a fresh start. Koberger remembers what you did last time, so your second book is quicker than your first.
Write your author bio once
Your bio, your copyright page, your list of other books: save them once and drop them into every book you publish. Change one, and it changes everywhere.
Keep a series looking the same
Book five should look like book one, and it will. Koberger checks your books against each other and lets you make one change across all of them at once.
More than plain paragraphs
Text message conversations, poetry, tables, letters and quotes, all laid out properly instead of typed in and hoped for.
Send review copies safely
Send early copies to reviewers with their own name printed on the file, so you know where a leaked copy came from.
Made with Koberger
“Koberger was a fantastic experience. I was quite nervous about how to format my first book, but was amazed at how easy the programme was to use. I’m really impressed with the quality and format. Will definitely use when I write my next book.”

Files that upload first time
Your files pass the checks Amazon, Apple Books, Kobo, IngramSpark and the printers run, so you’re not sent back to fix them.
Works on the computer you have

No AI, ever
Koberger lays your book out. It doesn’t write it, and we never train anything on your manuscript.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a Mac to use Koberger?
No. Koberger runs in any web browser on Windows, Mac, Linux, or a Chromebook, with nothing to install.
Is Koberger really free to try?
Yes. You can bring in your manuscript, design your book and read every page for free, with no card required. You only pay when you export the finished files.
What happens if I cancel my subscription?
You can cancel at any time, with no lock-in. Your books stay in your account, so nothing’s lost, and you can pick up again whenever you like.
Will my files work with Amazon KDP and other stores?
Yes. Koberger’s files pass the stores’ own checks, so they upload without errors to Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, Apple Books, Kobo, and other stores and printers.
How is Koberger different from Vellum and Atticus?
Koberger runs in the browser on any device, and you pay monthly or yearly rather than one large fee up front. It’s also built for authors who keep publishing: you save pages like your bio and copyright page once and reuse them, and you can keep a whole series looking the same.
Do you use AI or train on my manuscript?
No. Koberger is a formatting tool, not an AI writer, and we never train on your manuscripts. Your writing stays entirely yours.
Your book is closer than you think.
Bring in your manuscript, choose a design, read every page, and download your files. Then keep the design, and you’ll do the next one faster.
