In motion

From your Word to Amazon KDP or Kindle, in minutes

Upload your Word as-is —with its images, tables and chapters. The AI understands your book's structure and shapes it: typography, margins, table of contents and covers. You get a print interior and an ePub, validated and ready to upload.

No templates, no quotes, and no need to know a thing about layout.

Transparency

Why is there no quote by email?

Because it isn't necessary. Book formatting is usually quoted by email because the price depends on things you can only see by opening the file: how much correction it needs, what format it is in, how much manual work it takes. None of those variables exist here. The rate is per page, the same for everyone, and the only adjustments are the book type and the €15 minimum. That is solved with a fixed formula, not with an assessment. The examples table below shows the whole thing: you can do the maths yourself and get exactly what the calculator gives you.

The middle option is cheap and immediate, but the work is still yours: you pick the margins based on the thickness of the book, you check the DPI of the images, and you find out about the mistakes when Amazon sends the file back. That is the difference between a tool that lets you format and one that formats and validates.

FAQ

Before you ask

How much does it cost to format a book?

From €15, at a base rate of €0.15 per page. A 225-page book averages €34.

Why is it cheaper than a manual formatter?

A manual formatter charges €250-450 and takes days to quote. Gutter automates and validates instantly.

What formats do I get the book in?

A print-ready interior PDF for the printer and for KDP, and an ePub that comes out clean, with no cleanup steps afterwards, included free in the same payment.

What if Amazon KDP rejects the file?

If KDP flags something related to the layout, it is reprocessed free until it validates.

Can I see the result before paying?

Yes. You upload your Word for free, see the full layout with a watermark and can ask for as many changes as you want by chatting with the AI. You only pay to download the clean version.

What if I need to keep editing after paying?

The editing chat stays available after you pay, with a generous allowance of edits included in the price of the book. If you run out, the chat offers you an optional paid top-up with additional edits. Only changes that actually modify the layout count: questions and clarifications do not use up an edit.

Is the ePub for Kindle included in the price?

Yes, always included in the same payment, at no extra cost.

Is there a price difference between a novel, poetry, a thesis or an illustrated book?

The base rate is the same; poetry and theses carry a surcharge (a ×1.3 and ×1.25 multiplier respectively) because their layout has more specific rules (poetry: line-break control; theses: academic standards). An illustrated book carries no multiplier, but it does add €0.15 per page for image handling. The calculator above already applies all of these adjustments.
