How it works
1. Upload
Upload your manuscript as a .docx file. Rigel scans it for likely chapter breaks — bold text, a larger font size, or real Word heading styles all count — and shows you what it found so you can confirm, adjust, or add any it missed before you pay anything. No named styles required.
2. Choose your formatting
Pick your target platform — Amazon KDP, IngramSpark, Barnes & Noble Press, or Draft2Digital — a trim size, and one of 7 chapter-opening styles — Drop Cap, Raised Initial, Small Caps, and more. Margins and gutter are calculated automatically for your chosen platform and manuscript length.
3. Download
Get back a print-ready DOCX and PDF, saved to your account. Up to 3 exports of the same manuscript with different settings, within 30 days — try a different trim size or opening style without paying again.
No subscriptions — ever
Pay once per manuscript, or go Unlimited for every manuscript you ever format.
Per Manuscript
Up to 3 exports of the same manuscript, within 30 days
Coming Fall 2026Unlimited
Every manuscript you format, indefinitely — no per-manuscript charge, no expiring exports. A per-manuscript purchase in the last 12 months credits 50% of its price toward this.
Coming Fall 2026Personal license: format your own manuscripts and publish them freely. Not licensed for formatting other authors’ books as a service.
