Common questions

Do I need to sign up?
No. You can edit and export without an account. Signing in is only needed if you want to save to the cloud and continue on another device.
Is there a watermark on the export?
No. No format gets a watermark, and there is no download limit.
Which formats can I export to?
DOCX · PDF · Markdown · HTML · TXT. In the editor, choose File ▸ Download.
Can I edit it on my phone?
Yes. The interface adapts to phones and tablets with the same features as on desktop — it is not a cut-down version.
Where is my work stored?
While you are signed out it stays in your own browser and is never uploaded — clearing browser data loses it. To keep it or continue on another device, sign in and choose “Save to cloud”.
Will you start charging later?
The templates and all three editors are free and unlimited today. We avoid absolute promises nobody can back, and there is no hidden sign-up wall or usage cap either.
How should a formal letter be structured?
Three paragraphs, as in the template: why you are writing, the details and your request, then thanks and the next step you want. One subject per paragraph makes it easy to reply point by point.
Does it include the recipient’s address?
No address block is built in. For posted or formal correspondence, add the recipient’s name, organisation and address between the date and the salutation.
Print it or send it digitally?
Either. Print it if it needs a handwritten signature; for email, export a PDF attachment so the layout holds on the recipient’s computer.
