Everything you need to know about creating, designing and exporting ebooks with Ebookerr.

Plans

Lite vs Pro — What's Included

Lite ($19.97/mo) covers the whole ebook-making side: the AI Writing Assistant, Generate Full Ebook, AI cover & chapter image generation, 50 designer templates, Word import, and one-click PDF/EPUB/Word export — unlimited ebooks and chapters. Pro ($29.97/mo) includes everything in Lite, plus 50 more designer templates (100 total) and the AI publishing suite that goes beyond the manuscript: Metadata AI (ranked KDP titles/descriptions/keywords), Audiobook Studio (AI narration), Translation AI (50+ languages) and the Publishing Prep checklist. You can see exactly which panels are Lite vs Pro from the left sidebar in the ebook creator — Pro-only tools show a small "PRO" badge until you upgrade.
You can create up to 3 ebooks completely free with the full Lite feature set — AI Writing Assistant, AI cover generation, 50 templates, PDF/EPUB/Word export — just a free account, no credit card required. A usage bar on your "My Ebooks" dashboard shows how many you have used. Upgrade to Lite for unlimited ebooks, or straight to Pro for 100 templates and the full AI publishing suite.
Yes. Both plans are month-to-month with no long-term contract — upgrade, downgrade or cancel anytime from your account. There's also a 30-day money-back guarantee on either plan.
No — Metadata AI, Audiobook Studio, Translation AI (and AI image generation on either plan) all run on your own AI provider key instead of a credit system, since they call a third-party AI directly — see the "AI Writing & API Keys" section below for how that works. Audiobook Studio always shows you the exact cost before it spends anything.
Getting Started

Create Your First Ebook

Open the ebook creator and click "New Ebook". Give your book a title in the top bar, then click the big "Add Chapter" button in the middle of the screen to start writing. Everything is saved automatically in your browser as you type — look for the "✓ Saved" indicator in the top bar.
Your ebooks are stored locally in your own browser — nothing is uploaded to any server, and nobody else can see your content. This also means your books are tied to this browser on this device: clearing your browser data will remove them, so export your finished books as PDF, EPUB or Word to keep permanent copies.
Click the "My Ebooks" button in the top-left corner of the editor. Your work is saved automatically before the view changes.
Chapters & Writing

The Editor, Chapters & Highlight Boxes

Click "Add Chapter" in the chapter sidebar (or the big button in the middle when the book is empty). Rename a chapter by editing the title field at the top of the editor. Each chapter also has its own optional image — click the image zone above the text to add one. Drag the handle on any chapter (or Part) in the sidebar to reorder it anywhere in the book.
Yes. Click "Add Part" in the chapter sidebar to insert a Part divider — it groups the chapters that follow it into a section and appears as its own styled page in the exported PDF, EPUB and Word file. Drag it anywhere in the chapter list to control which chapters belong to it.
Yes. Click "Import Word Document" in the chapter sidebar and choose your .docx file. Paragraphs styled as Heading 1 become new chapters automatically, and if your document uses a Part/Chapter structure (Heading 1 for Parts, Heading 2 for chapters), that is detected too. Bold, italic, underline, lists and images carry over into the editor.
The importer finds chapter breaks by looking at Word's built-in paragraph styles, not just bold or large text — so before importing: (1) In Word, select each chapter's title line and apply the "Heading 1" style from the Home tab (not just bold/font size). (2) If your book has Parts with chapters underneath, apply "Heading 1" to Part titles and "Heading 2" to chapter titles — the importer detects this nested pattern automatically. (3) Delete any manually-inserted Table of Contents field before importing — Ebookerr builds its own automatically, so a leftover one just becomes clutter at the top of your first chapter. (4) Remove decorative section labels like a standalone "CHAPTER 2" line sitting above the real title — fold the number into the heading itself (e.g. "Chapter 2: Your Title") so the importer doesn't treat it as a separate paragraph.
The toolbar gives you headings (H1–H4), bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, bullet and numbered lists, blockquotes, horizontal rules, text alignment, links and inline images. Use the dropdown on the left of the toolbar to switch between paragraph and heading styles.
The five emoji buttons in the toolbar insert decorative boxes that make important passages stand out: 💡 Tip (purple), ⚠️ Warning (amber), ✨ Key Point (gradient frame), 📌 Note (blue) and ❝ Quote Spotlight (dark). Select text first and click a button to wrap it in a box — or click without a selection to insert an empty box you can type into. The boxes look identical in the PDF, EPUB and Word exports.
Click the image icon in the toolbar to insert an image at the cursor. Click any inserted image to open a mini toolbar for aligning, resizing or deleting it. Images are automatically compressed so they don't fill up your browser storage.
AI Writing & API Keys

Generate Ebooks with AI

Click "AI Assistant" in the top bar to open the chat panel. Tell it what you want — a topic, an outline, or "continue this chapter" — and it drafts clean, ready-to-use content. Click "Insert into chapter" under any reply to place it at your cursor.
Simply select any passage in your chapter with the mouse. A floating menu appears with Expand, Shorten, Rewrite and Delete. The AI rewrites just the selected passage and replaces it in place — the rest of your text is untouched.
Click "Generate Book" in the editor's top bar — it's a full-fledged AI ebook writer, not just a chat assistant. Step 1: describe what your ebook is about and choose how many chapters you want, then either click "Suggest Chapters with AI" to get a proposed outline, or type your own chapter headlines in the box below (you can mix both — edit, reorder with the arrows, or delete any row). For longer outlines, AI automatically inserts Part section dividers to group the chapters (shown with a pink "Part" label) — you can also add your own Part dividers with the "Add Part" button next to the chapter input. Step 2: once you have at least one headline, the "🚀 Generate Full Ebook" button unlocks — click it and every chapter is created and written by AI in order, one at a time, with full continuity between chapters and a progress bar showing which one is being written (Parts are inserted instantly with no AI writing needed). When it finishes, your whole book — chapters, Parts and all — is ready to review and export.
Yes — every AI feature in Ebookerr (AI Assistant, Generate Book, Metadata AI, Translation AI, AI image generation, Audiobook Studio) requires your own API key. There is no free or shared AI usage of any kind. This keeps you in full control of what you spend, directly with the provider you choose — Ebookerr never sees or bills your usage.
Ebookerr supports six providers for text: OpenAI (ChatGPT), Anthropic (Claude), Google (Gemini), Mistral, DeepSeek and xAI (Grok). Pick any of them in the AI Assistant settings or the Generate Book API key box, then choose a model — from the cheapest fast models to the most capable ones (dropdown labels show which is which). Image generation, Audiobook Studio and Translation AI have their own provider choices — see their own sections below.
  1. Pick a provider. OpenAI is the most common choice; Google Gemini has a genuinely free usage tier with no card required, which makes it a good first key to try.
  2. Create an account with that provider if you don't already have one: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, Mistral, DeepSeek, or xAI.
  3. Generate an API key on that provider's own dashboard: OpenAI → API Keys, Anthropic → Settings → API Keys, Google AI Studio → Get API key, Mistral → API Keys, DeepSeek → API Keys, or xAI Console → API Keys. Click "Create" / "Generate" and copy the key it shows you immediately — most providers only show the full key once.
  4. Add billing if the provider asks for it. OpenAI, Anthropic, Mistral, DeepSeek and xAI generally require a payment method on file before a key will actually work (even though usage itself is pay-as-you-go, often just a few cents per book). Google Gemini is the exception — it has a free tier with no card needed, so it's the easiest one to test with first.
  5. Paste it into Ebookerr. Open API Keys in the left sidebar of the ebook creator, click "+ Add API Key", choose the matching provider, paste your key, and click Save. You can also add a key from inside the AI Assistant panel's gear icon, or the key box inside the Generate Book window — they all save to the same place.
  6. That's it. The key is stored only in your browser and sent directly to that provider when you use an AI feature — Ebookerr itself never stores or sees it. Every AI feature that needs a key will now work with it.
AI image generation uses your Google Gemini or OpenAI key (whichever you pick in the image generator's provider dropdown). Audiobook Studio always uses your OpenAI key. Translation AI uses whichever text provider key you've added (OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Mistral, DeepSeek or xAI). All of these are billed directly to you by the provider — see the "How do I add my own AI API key?" steps above for how to get one.
AI Cover & Images

Gemini, gpt-image-1 & gpt-image-2

Click "Generate AI Image" in the editor's top bar (for an inline image at your cursor), the cover zone's AI button (for the cover), or the AI button on any chapter's image zone. Describe what you want, pick a provider from the dropdown, and click "Generate Image". Your short description is automatically expanded into a detailed prompt first — the same trick ChatGPT's own image tool uses — before the image is generated.
One dropdown lists three options: Google Gemini 2.5 Flash Image ("Nano Banana") at a flat ~$0.04/image, OpenAI gpt-image-1 (the same model chatgpt.com itself uses, ~$0.17/image at high quality), and OpenAI gpt-image-2 — OpenAI's newest model, with a built-in "thinking" pass before it draws (it plans layout and self-checks) and noticeably more reliable text rendering, ~$0.21/image. Your last choice is remembered for next time. An estimated cost is shown right above the Generate button before you click it.
Image generation always runs on your own key (never the site's), since it costs meaningfully more per request than a chat message. Add a key under API Keys in the left sidebar, or directly in the image generator window: for Gemini, get a free key at aistudio.google.com/apikey (free usage tier, no card needed); for OpenAI, get one at platform.openai.com/api-keys. The same OpenAI key works for both gpt-image-1 and gpt-image-2 — you only switch the model dropdown, not the key.
Yes, for gpt-image-2 specifically. Its "thinking" pass at high quality can take a few minutes, noticeably longer than gpt-image-1. The button shows "Generating… (can take a few minutes, especially gpt-image-2)" while it works, and a Cancel button appears below it if you want to stop. Clicking outside the window or the ✕ won't close it mid-generation — this is intentional, so you don't lose (or silently keep paying for) a request that's still in progress.
Metadata AI

KDP Titles, Descriptions & Keywords

Open Metadata AI in the left sidebar, pick a book, and click "Generate Metadata". You get 4 title options, 4 subtitles, 3 back-cover-style descriptions, 5 KDP category suggestions and 10–15 keyword/phrase suggestions — all generated from your book's actual title and chapter content.
Each title/subtitle/description option shows a 0–100 Visibility Score — an estimate of how well that specific option balances clarity, keyword relevance and click appeal. Scores vary realistically across options rather than all scoring the same, so you can see which one to actually use, not just a list of options with no guidance.
Yes — click "Use as title" or "Use as subtitle" under any option to apply it straight to the selected book, whether or not that book is currently open in the editor. Descriptions and keywords have a 📋 Copy button instead (and a "Copy all" button for the whole list) since they're meant for your Amazon listing, not a book field.
Yes — everything you generate is saved per book and reloads automatically next time you open Metadata AI for that book, along with a "Saved — generated X ago" note. Generating again for the same book overwrites its saved result.
Audiobook Studio

Narrate Chapters with AI Voices

Open Audiobook Studio in the left sidebar, pick a book and chapter, choose a voice and quality (Standard or HD, ~2× cost), then click "▶ Preview voice" to hear a sample before committing. Click "Check cost" to see the exact price for that chapter, then "🎙 Narrate this chapter" — you'll be asked to confirm the exact cost before anything is generated.
Narration always runs on your own OpenAI key (the same one used for AI Writing), billed directly to your OpenAI account — never the site's. The exact cost is calculated and shown to you before every generation, so there's never a surprise charge.
Yes — every finished narration is saved automatically (in your browser) with its own waveform player, and reloads the next time you open that book/chapter. A "Saved audiobooks" list at the bottom of the panel shows every narration you've ever generated across all your books, each with its own ✕ to delete it, and clicking a row opens it straight into the player.
Yes — a "💾 Download MP3" button appears next to every finished narration.
Translation AI

Translate Your Book into 50+ Languages

Open Translation AI in the left sidebar, pick a book and a target language (50+ built-in, or "Other…" to type any language), and click "🌐 Translate this book". The title, subtitle and every chapter are translated one at a time into a brand-new book — your original is never modified — with a progress bar showing which chapter is being translated.
Yes — click "Stop" at any point. Whatever chapters were already translated stay saved in the new book; you just won't have the rest until you either finish the job or copy remaining chapters yourself.
A custom language must be tested first: click the "Test" button next to the text field, which runs a small sample translation and shows ✓ or ✕. This confirms the AI can actually handle that language before you commit to translating the whole book. Editing the text afterward clears the test, so you'll need to test again.
Click "Open in Editor Studio" in the result banner — it switches straight to the new translated book in the editor, whether the translation finished completely or you stopped it partway through.
Publishing Prep

The Readiness Checklist

Open Publishing Prep in the left sidebar and pick a book to see four checks: Manuscript (real content, not just empty chapters), Cover (is one set), Metadata (has Metadata AI been run) and Audiobook (has any chapter been narrated) — each shown as ✅ ready, ⚠️ thin, or ❌ not done, with a progress bar across the top.
The checklist itself is available on every plan — Manuscript and Cover checks work for everyone. The Metadata and Audiobook rows show a 🔒 upgrade prompt on Lite, since those specific tools are Pro-only; on Pro, all four rows check real status.
Yes — every row has a button ("Open Editor", "Go to Metadata AI", "Go to Audiobook Studio") that jumps straight to the right panel with the same book already selected.
Yes — EPUB, PDF and Word buttons at the bottom export the currently selected book directly, the same as the Downloads panel.
Templates & Design

100 Templates, Covers & Footers

Open the settings panel on the right side of the editor (on smaller screens, tap the Settings button in the top bar) and pick a template from the dropdown under "Book Details". There are 100 designer templates in total — 50 available on every plan, and 50 more exclusive to Pro — from Modern, Midnight and Ocean to Royal, Noir, Sapphire, Jade and dozens more, plus a clean classic default. Each template has its own font pairing and styles the cover, chapter titles, table of contents, drop caps and accent colors throughout the book, including in the EPUB export.
Click "Browse templates" to open the full visual picker with a live preview. Swatches are grouped by color family (Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Teal, Blue, Purple, Pink, then Neutral for black/white/gray templates) with a heading above each group, so you can jump straight to "something blue" instead of scanning all 100 in an arbitrary order. Lite accounts can browse and preview every template, including Pro-exclusive ones — you just can't apply a Pro-only template until you upgrade.
In the settings panel, click the cover zone under "Cover Image" and choose a picture (JPG, PNG or WebP). Use the position slider that appears below it to fine-tune which part of the image shows. Large photos are automatically resized so they always fit in browser storage.
The Footer text (e.g. "© 2026 Your Name") and Footer link fields in the settings panel appear on the last page of your book — in the preview, the PDF, and the EPUB and Word exports.
Browsers skip background colors when printing unless you enable them. In the print dialog, open "More settings" and check "Background graphics" — then every gradient, cover pattern and tinted box prints beautifully.
Downloads & Export

PDF, EPUB & Word Export

Click "Preview" in the editor's top bar to see the finished book — cover, table of contents and all chapters — exactly as readers will see it. Use "✕ Close" to return to the editor.
Open Downloads in the left sidebar, pick a book, then click Download EPUB, Download PDF or Download Word. This works without needing to open that book in the editor first, and is available on every plan (Lite and Pro both get unlimited exports — only the free/no-account trial has the 3-download cap).
Clicking Download PDF opens a new tab with a print-ready version of your book and the print dialog appears automatically — choose "Save as PDF" as the destination. Remember to enable "Background graphics" in More settings for full template colors.
Click "Download EPUB" for an EPUB 3 file that works on Kindle, Apple Books and Kobo, or "Download Word" for a .docx file you can keep editing in Microsoft Word or Google Docs. Both include a clickable table of contents and download instantly.
Ebookerr's print styles remove the browser's date/time header automatically in current browsers. If you still see one, open "More settings" in the print dialog and uncheck "Headers and footers".
Troubleshooting

Fixes for Common Problems

Your browser gives each site a limited amount of storage. Ebookerr automatically compresses every image when you add it — and if storage still fills up, it re-compresses all previously stored images and retries. If you keep seeing the message, delete an old ebook from "My Ebooks" or remove some images from your chapters.
Your browser is blocking pop-ups for the site. Click the pop-up icon in the address bar and choose "Always allow pop-ups from this site", then click Export PDF again.
Every AI feature requires your own API key — there's no free or shared AI usage. Add one under API Keys in the left sidebar, or via the gear icon in the AI panel, or the key box inside Generate Book. See how to add your own AI API key, step by step.
Ebooks are stored in the browser you created them in. They can disappear if you clear browsing data, use incognito mode, or switch to a different browser or device. Always export finished books as PDF, EPUB or Word to keep permanent copies.
