Professional Multi-Format Export & Typesetting

Generate Professional Book Files Without External Software

I spent years fighting with broken page breaks and hidden formatting characters in Word. I built the Verkilo engine to handle the technical heavy lifting, so authors can focus on their narrative while the software handles the mathematical precision of book design.

Typesetting Built for Print and Digital

Most writing apps rely on basic web-view converters, leading to floaty text and inconsistent spacing. Verkilo uses a dedicated typesetting engine that maintains the crisp typographic clarity required by professional retailers and literary agents.

• Clean EPUB 3. Generate valid, retail-ready eBooks with a semantic Table of Contents automatically mapped from your binder hierarchy.
• Print-ready PDFs. Export with professional line heights, ornamental scene breaks, and embedded fonts.
• Agent-standard DOCX. Produce clean files stripped of hidden metadata, formatted for traditional publishing submissions.

The Interior Designer

You shouldn't need a degree in graphic design to produce a beautiful book. The Interior Designer provides a visual interface for complex typographic settings, so you can control the feel of your book without touching code.

• Automated gutter calculation. Select your trim size and page count. Verkilo calculates the gutter and margins so your text never disappears into the spine.
• Use any font on your machine. Load any OpenType or TrueType font to build a unique brand identity for your books.
• Design templates. Choose from professionally curated templates or clone them to create your own house style for a series.

One Manuscript, Multiple Formats

The export engine works with your binder structure. Maintain one manuscript that exports correctly to multiple formats with different requirements.

• Format-specific sections. Toggle visibility at the scene or folder level. Include a Click here page in your eBook while replacing it with a QR code page for print.
• No post-processing needed. Generate files ready for KDP, IngramSpark, or Apple Books immediately. No cleanup in external tools.
• Proper metadata. Every export includes correctly structured metadata so your book is searchable by retail algorithms.
