What you get

Turn your text and images into publications ready for print or digital sharing.

You can turn your writing and images into a book, booklet, magazine, or brochure, or make smaller pieces such as holiday cards and business cards with QR codes. You can start from a template rather than a blank page, then adjust the layout and artwork to suit your project.

For longer publications, you can keep pages consistent with reusable master pages and align elements with grids and guides. Your text can flow between pages, run in columns, and wrap around pictures, so you can arrange words and images without forcing everything into separate blocks. Built-in artwork and image editing help you finish the visuals in the same app.

When your layout is finished, you can export it for digital sharing or prepare it for professional printing with bleeds. You can also convert text to curves to preserve its appearance when the recipient doesnโ€™t have your fonts.

  • Get past the blank page

    You can adapt ready-made templates for publications, brochures, and cards instead of building every layout from scratch.

  • Keep longer publications consistent

    You can reuse master pages and align text and images across your book or magazine.

  • Fit words around pictures

    You can flow text across pages, arrange it in columns, and wrap it around images.

  • Prepare layouts for printing

    You can add bleeds and convert text to curves to avoid missing-font problems when sharing your finished work.

Best for

  • Youโ€™re self-publishing a book, booklet, or magazine
  • You need brochures or business cards for your business
  • You want to design personal holiday cards

Skip it if

You donโ€™t need it if you only write plain documents and have no need to control page layouts or prepare designs for print.
