InkVault Studio interface for book layout, ebook editing and publishing exports

The short version

From draft to publishing files, without scattering the work.

1

Shape the book

Import or write chapters, then organize front matter, back matter, notes, characters and places.

2

Clean the manuscript

Catch imported-text problems, duplicate titles, broken structure, missing data and risky images.

3

Export with checks

Prepare paperback PDF, EPUB-oriented files, DOCX and proof outputs with practical preflight warnings.

What it replaces

Fewer side files. Fewer manual checks. Less guessing before export.

Book structure

Chapters, sections, metadata and table of contents stay in one project.

Connected planning

Notes, characters and places can be linked to the chapters where they matter.

Preflight checks

Margins, gutter, cover state, images, structure and export tools are checked early.

Print layout

Trim size, typography, page numbers, headers, drop caps and presets are built in.

Image workflows

Inline, full-page and full-bleed images get export-aware checks and optimized variants.

Local ownership

Projects, assets, backups and exports stay in a workspace controlled by the author.

Different by design

InkVault is not only a pretty export button.

It is built for the messy middle: imported drafts, notes, layout decisions, images, proofing, backup snapshots and final file preparation.

  • SmartFlow can improve awkward chapter endings during PDF generation.
  • Chapter cleanup fixes common import and paste problems before layout.
  • Full-page and full-bleed image modes are checked before export.
  • Experimental PDF/X-1a and CMYK ICC paths support print-production testing.
