SimpleFormat is a professional document formatting tool that transforms raw text into submission-ready documents instantly.

We automate 95% of formatting work - applying margins, spacing, fonts, and layout according to professional standards. You provide the content; we handle the presentation.

SimpleFormat uses a guided wizard to walk you through formatting:

  1. Create Account: Free signup, no credit card required
  2. Choose Style: Select from 8+ professional standards (APA, MLA, Chicago, etc.)
  3. Paste Content: Add your text through our guided wizard
  4. Preview: See your fully formatted document (free PDF preview)
  5. Pay & Download: When satisfied, pay and get your clean DOCX

We handle document formatting only - applying correct margins, spacing, fonts, headings, page layout, and structural elements according to your chosen style guide:

Margins, spacing, fonts, headings
Page layout and structural elements
We do NOT edit content, validate citations, or check grammar

You write the content; we make it look professionally formatted.

No. Documents up to 5 pages are completely free. For longer documents, you pay once per document based on length (6–25, 26–100, or 101–500 pages).

It's a single, fixed price per document — not per page, not per word.

You'll be prompted to upgrade to a higher tier before download — no surprise charges. You can see exactly which tier your document requires before you pay.

Yes - this is how SimpleFormat works. Complete the wizard, preview your fully formatted document in our secure viewer, make changes until it's perfect. You only pay when you're ready to download the clean DOCX. No credit card required to preview.

Ephemeral Processing

We process your document in real-time and do NOT store your content. Your text is wiped from memory immediately after formatting.

We retain only metadata (file name, page count, timestamp) for your usage history. Your intellectual property stays yours.

5-15 Minutes

Most documents complete in 5-15 minutes depending on length and complexity.

Long books may take up to 30 minutes. You'll see progress throughout the wizard.

Preview Before You Pay

Because you can preview your fully formatted document before paying, refunds are not offered.

You see exactly what you're getting - unlimited previews and revisions, then pay only when satisfied. If you encounter technical issues, contact us at hello@simpleformat.pro and we'll make it right.
