# idmly

> idmly converts a self-contained HTML/CSS design into a native, fully editable Adobe InDesign file (.idml). Drop in an AI-generated or hand-coded HTML layout (a report, deck, or one-pager) and get back real text frames, named paragraph and character styles, charts redrawn as editable vectors, and fonts bound by name. It is **not** a flattened PDF and not a screenshot — every frame reflows and every style is editable. The first two pages of any file convert free with no signup; a one-time **$49 lifetime license** unlocks unlimited full-document conversions on up to 10 devices.

## Key facts

- **What it does:** HTML/CSS → native InDesign `.idml`. The output also opens in Affinity Publisher.
- **How it works:** idmly renders your file in a real browser (Chromium) and reads the *computed* layout — it never parses your CSS. Any framework works: Tailwind, Bootstrap, plain CSS. If Chrome can render it, idmly can convert it.
- **What you get back:** real text frames, named paragraph/character styles, editable vector charts and tables, images placed and linked (designs with images arrive as a zip with a Links folder).
- **Not a PDF:** there is no PDF anywhere in the chain. idmly builds the InDesign document directly.
- **Pricing:** one-time $49, lifetime license, unlimited conversions, up to 10 devices. No subscription. 14-day fix-or-refund if a file can't convert.
- **Free trial:** the first two pages of any file convert free — no signup, no card.
- **Privacy:** uploaded files are converted then deleted. No storage, no training on user files, no analytics on the site.
- **Made by:** Kelly Fraser, operated by Nomadic Social CC. Support: support@idmly.com

## Who it is for

Designers, studios, and report/brochure/deck makers who design in AI tools or in the browser but must deliver an editable InDesign file — and are tired of rebuilding AI-generated layouts by hand, box by box and font by font.
