Build a document from blocks: headings at three levels, paragraphs aligned left, centre or right in bold or italic, bullet and numbered lists, quotes, tables of up to eight columns with an optional header row, images, dividers and page breaks. Move blocks up and down with the arrows. Images can be PNG, JPG, WebP or GIF, sized from 20% to 100% of the text width. Choose A4, US Letter, US Legal or A5, portrait or sideways pages, narrow, normal or wide margins, body text of 10, 11 or 12pt, and page numbers. The title can appear on the first page and is saved as the PDF title. Text is set in DejaVu Sans, so it stays selectable and handles accents, Greek, Cyrillic and currency symbols.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need Microsoft Word to create a PDF?

No. You write and arrange the content here and the PDF is generated in your browser. The fonts are embedded in the file, so it looks the same on any device, and the text stays selectable and searchable.

Can I add images to my PDF?

Yes. Add an Image block and pick a PNG, JPG, WebP or GIF from your device, then set its width from 20% to 100% of the text area. Images are embedded in the PDF without being uploaded anywhere.

Can I mix bold and normal text in one paragraph?

No. Bold and italic apply to a whole paragraph, and you can choose one or the other but not both. For a bold phrase, split it into its own paragraph or use a heading. Links and font choices are not available.

Is there a page limit?

No fixed limit. Content flows onto new pages as needed, and a Page break block starts the next content on a fresh page. Very long documents with many large images take longer to build and use more memory.

Is my document saved if I close the page?

No. Nothing you type is stored, either on a server or in your browser, so closing or refreshing the page clears your work. Download the PDF before you leave, and keep your text elsewhere if you may need to edit it.
