What it is
typesetting.ai is web software that formats Word manuscripts for authors and self-publishers. Upload a DOCX to produce files such as PDF, EPUB, and DOCX. Its five formatters cover Shunn-standard manuscripts, Kindle/KDP ebooks, validated EPUB 3, print interiors, and poetry layouts. AI identifies manuscript structure, including chapters, scene breaks, and headings styled as bold text instead of marked as headings. The maker says the software does not rewrite, reorder, or shorten prose; punctuation styling changes are counted in a report. Supported work includes front and back matter, contents pages, ebook navigation, KDP print geometry, poetry line breaks, and plain-English layout changes. Free tools include EPUB validation, front matter generation, and margin, gutter, and spine calculations without an upload limit. It does not support footnotes or endnotes, indexes, structured bibliographies, images inside print interiors, fixed-layout books, or hardcover-specific interiors. The Free plan is free; One file costs $5 once, and Pro costs $12 a month. The operator is based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.
