Storyloft’s print formatting tool removes one of the most technical parts of self-publishing. Instead of manually formatting in Word or hiring a formatter, the platform automatically generates a professional, print-ready book.

The tool applies professional typography to your manuscript. This includes:

• Correct trim size and margin setup
• Dynamic gutter margins based on page count
• Consistent chapter headings and section breaks
• Front matter and back matter formatting
• Headers, footers, and page numbers with proper alignment

You control the design inputs. Choose your trim size, paper type, fonts, and chapter styles — Storyloft handles the execution.

The output is a print-ready PDF. Files are generated to meet KDP and IngramSpark requirements, including:

• Embedded fonts
• Correct page dimensions
• Bleed and safe zone handling
• Proper layout for printing

Professional typesetting is built in. The tool manages details like spacing, hyphenation, and widow/orphan control — the elements that make a book look traditionally published.

Gutter margins are handled automatically. Storyloft calculates inner margins based on your page count and trim size, preventing the common issue of text disappearing into the spine.

Everything happens in one workflow. You write, edit, and format inside the same platform. Updates to your manuscript carry through to your formatted layout, and you can preview before exporting.
