What Our Users Say

"You've Built Something Incredible"

I've spent years searching for a document formatting tool that actually delivers. Most of them promise a lot, but end up being clunky, confusing, and disappointing. Then I found Format Magic and everything changed.

From the moment I started using it, I knew this was different. The interface is clean, the process is intuitive, and the results? Pure magic. It does exactly what I've always wanted a document formatter to do - and then goes way beyond that. Features I never even thought to ask for have now become things I rely on daily. This tool hasn't just improved how I format documents, it's transformed how I create them.

And when I hit a snag and reached out, I got a response fast - real help from a real person who genuinely cared. That kind of support is rare, and it says everything about the kind of team behind this product.

I usually don't write reviews. But when you come across a company that nails the product, nails the support, and just gets it - you say something. So here it is: You've earned a lifetime customer. And if anyone out there is thinking about trying it, do it. You won't look back.

Our tool focuses solely on applying the selected template and formatting to your text, ensuring that the output is exactly what you input. This feature is particularly valuable for users who want to maintain full control over their content or for those working with specialized text where automated corrections might be inappropriate. With Format Magic, you can be confident that your words remain your own, just beautifully formatted. **Note, while we endeavour for the AI to be 100% accurate it may correct spelling mistakes and other minor changes from time to time. We encourage you to always check the output.

For input, you can upload a .txt, PDF or .docx file and the text will be extracted. Alternatively you can copy and paste your text into the text box. Your formatted document will be output as a PDF. If you need a MS Word version then you can open your PDF in Word and Word will give you the option to extract it as a Word document.

You certainly can. You can upload images to your image library and then use the image placeholders in your text to insert the images into your document. You can also upload images directly to your document by dragging and dropping them into the text box. PDF or Word documents with images will extract the images to your image library, and the images will be added to your document as placeholders. When formatted, the placeholders will be replaced with the actual images.

Please ensure you log out and back in again using the tab in the top right where your email address is to reset your token counts.

Yes, clickable web links will work in the outputted PDF but you need to ensure that your input format includes 'https://' at the beginning. i.e. https://formatmagic.ai or https://www.formatmagic.ai

You can change the page size when editing your document in the "Revise Output" section. Look for the page size dropdown in the editor toolbar that shows options like "Letter", "A4", "Legal", "A3", and "6×9" (book size). Simply click the dropdown and select your preferred page size. The page size you choose will be saved with your document. New documents automatically default to Letter size for US users and A4 for international users based on your location.

Yes! You can customize margins for each page size individually. In the "Revise Output" editor, click the page size dropdown and select "⚙️ Customize Margins..." This opens a dialog where you can set custom top, right, bottom, and left margins (measured in inches). Each page size remembers its own margin settings. You can also reset margins back to optimized defaults at any time. This is perfect for adjusting margins for binding, printing requirements, or personal preferences.

Additional Options with Instructions

While in most cases Format Magic will work completely automatically, you may sometimes need more control over how some aspects of your text are formatted. You can try the below options.

Use trigger symbol to Provide Text Formatter Control

The AI text formatter has been trained to recognise commands related to formatting that precede this combination of characters !!!*!!!

Bold Text

!!!*!!! Make the below text bold.
The line of text/paragraph directly under this command will be formatted in bold.

Highlight Blocks

!!!*!!! Make the below text a highlight block.
The text/paragraph below this command will be formatted as a highlight block. Note that this highlight option only applies to document templates and not resume templates.

Change Page Background Color and Color Schemes

!!!*!!! Make the page background white.
You can add commands like this at the top of the text box, useful for if you like a template but need minor color changes to suit your style or for printing. You can also specify a particular color such as #ccffff (This will make the page a light blue) You can use this color picker to find the exact colors you need.

You can also try commands like this:

!!!*!!! Make H1 #009900, H2 #ff00ff, H3 ##0000ff

This command is telling the AI to make heading one green, heading two pink and heading three blue. This will usually be interpreted as a color scheme change and can give some interesting and useful results.

Cover Page and Table of Contents

Click the 'Add Cover Page & Table of Contents' selection box and type your desired cover page content in the text area that appears.

The 'Add Page Numbers' option will be automatically selected, as page numbers are required for the TOC. The Table of Contents will be created from all H1 and H2 heading tags found in the output.

The table of contents itself will not be generated until the PDF is generated. If the Table of Contents is empty when created, check to see if you have any H1 or H2 headings. It will be empty if there are no headings to create it from.

We hope you find this useful and please get in touch if you have any questions or unexpected issues. We will continue to work to add new features and controls to perfect the output, but please remember, AI is not perfect, and to double check the output.
