One of the problems when creating e-books, lead magnets and workbooks is making sure they look professionally designed. Well, no more!
For the busy entrepreneur, small business owner or marketer, Designrr is ideal. It means you don’t have to outsource this part of the process (unless, of course, you want to). And the best thing? You can create an attractive PDF in no time at all with this online software – even if you don’t have much design skill.
Think about it. All of those blogs you’ve created on your website. You could actually create an e-book out of them. Or you could create a branded PDF from a single, long-form blog and include it in your post for visitors to download. If you have online courses imagine how easy it would be to create a simple, professional workbook or other course materials. Hopefully, you’re starting to see the potential.
How does Designrr work?
You can create a PDF e-Book with Designrr in two ways:
- Paste links from one or more of your blogs
- Copy and paste from Microsoft Word or similar software packages
Let’s look at each of these options in turn:
1) Create PDFs from your blog posts
First of all, you’d need to log into your Designrr.io account. Then simply:
1) Select: ‘New Project’
2) Select ‘Import from blog post/s or URL’
3) Type in the website address
4) Choose a template
And that’s it! Designrr imports your blog into the template you’ve chosen.
You can then make any tweaks or changes you want in the Editor. There are plenty of different elements such as font colour, font size, image options etc. You can change the cover image or add images into your document. Designrr has free images available or you could create them yourself and then import them into the document.
Once you’ve finished editing, you simply save and publish. You can then view and download the PDF.
2) Create PDFs from Microsoft Word or Google Docs
All you need to do is type your text into Microsoft Word, Google Docs, or a similar software package (minus any images). Add in any links you want and you’re done.
You basically follow the steps above but choose to import manually instead. You can then copy and paste the text and Designrr will do its magic.

Purchasing Designrr
The Designrr standard edition is available at a special offer price of $27. At the time of writing, this is a one-off payment which gives you access to all the basic tools we’ve talked about. We couldn’t find a date for when the offer is ending.
The standard version also includes 100 project templates, 922 Google fonts, copyright-free image library, table of contents, page numbering, image editor, and draft editor. A flipbook creator has also recently been added (allows up to a maximum of 10 flipbooks).
The Designrr team offer training and in our experience, the support team has been very responsive whenever we’ve had a question. On top of this there’s a 30 day money back guarantee if you find it’s not for you. If you like what you see you can upgrade to a Pro, Premium or Agency plan (we’re signed up to the latter, on an annual subscription). For most small businesses and marketers the standard plan is a good place to start though. As we’ve discussed, it covers the basics of what most people will need.
