Upload your manuscript
Upload your Word file, or one saved from Google Docs or Pages. Koberger finds your chapters and builds the book around them. If it gets one wrong, you can fix it.
Book formatting software for indie authors
Turn your manuscript into a book you’re proud to publish.
Upload your Word document, choose a design you like, and download your ebook and paperback 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 how your book will look at each one.
Add the extra pages
Add a title page, copyright page, dedication and acknowledgements. Koberger fills in the title and copyright pages from your book’s details.
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 ebook and paperback files.
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
Save your bio, copyright page and list of other books once, then add them to every book. Change one, and it changes everywhere.
Keep every series matching
Book five should look like book one. Koberger checks your books against each other and lets you change them all at once.
Start from your own design
Happy with how your finished book looks? Save it as your own design, and your next book can start with the same look in a single click.
Update every book at once
Changed your bio or your website? Make fresh files for every one of your books in one go, rather than one book at a time.
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.”

Works on the computer you have
Nothing to download and nothing to buy first. Koberger opens in a browser on Windows, Mac, Linux or a Chromebook.
No AI, ever
Koberger lays your book out. It doesn’t write it, and your manuscript is never used to train AI.
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’re ready to download the finished files.
What happens if I cancel my subscription?
You can cancel at any time, with no contract. 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. KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing) is how you publish on Amazon. Koberger’s files pass the stores’ own checks, so they upload without errors to KDP, Apple Books, Kobo and other stores, and to IngramSpark for black-and-white books.
How is Koberger different from Vellum and Atticus?
Koberger runs in the browser on any computer, 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.
Upload your manuscript, choose a design, read every page and download your files. Then save your design, and your next book will be even quicker.
