Exporting Overview

InkSpire allows you to export your entire manuscript to several common formats for editing, sharing, or backup.

Exports are designed to produce clean output without editor-only elements.


Available Export Formats

InkSpire currently supports exporting the entire book to the following formats:

  • DOCX – For editing in word processors
  • PDF – For reading and sharing
  • HTML – For web or further processing
  • TXT – Plain text without formatting

All exports operate on the full project, not individual scenes or chapters.


How to Export

To export your work:

  1. Open the project you want to export
  2. Go to the Edit menu
  3. Choose the desired export format
  4. Select a location to save the file

InkSpire exports the current state of your project.


What Is Included in Exports

Exports include:

  • Scene content text
  • Basic text formatting (where supported)
  • Chapter and scene order

Exports do not include:

  • Scene titles
  • In-editor headings
  • Planning panels (World, Research, Characters)
  • Editor-only metadata

Exports are intended to produce clean manuscript output.
