idmly
HTML design in. Editable InDesign out.
Convert HTML designs to native, editable Adobe InDesign files with real text frames, named styles, and vector charts in under 30 seconds.
About this launch
idmly converts self-contained HTML designs into native Adobe InDesign .idml files that open directly in InDesign with editable text frames, named paragraph and character styles, charts and tables as editable objects, and linked images. The conversion happens through a deterministic Python engine that renders HTML in a headless browser, measures every element's computed properties, and generates proper InDesign markup—not a PDF. Users can preview two pages free, then purchase a lifetime license for $49 for unlimited full conversions. The tool integrates with AI design tools like Claude, ChatGPT, v0 and Lovable through an MCP server, allowing designers to convert HTML directly from their AI agent's workflow.

Shopper questions
What do I get back?
A native .idml file that opens directly in Adobe InDesign with real text frames, named paragraph and character styles, charts and tables as editable objects, and images placed and linked. If your design includes images, it arrives as a zip file with a Links folder that should be kept beside the .idml. The file also opens in Affinity Publisher.
Is my design private?
Yes. Your file is converted and then deleted—there is no storage, no training, and no AI model reads it. The conversion is deterministic engineering, not model-based. The site uses Google Analytics only to count page views and never sees your files.
What if the conversion isn't right?
Try it free first: the two most detailed pages of any design can be converted twice before you pay. If a licensed conversion does not produce a usable, editable file, email support@idmly.com within 14 days with the design file and you will receive either a fix or a refund.
Can I convert HTML or CSS to InDesign?
Yes. idmly converts self-contained .html designs into native .idml files with editable text frames, named styles, and charts as real vector objects—not flattened PDFs.
Can idmly convert a Claude or ChatGPT design into InDesign?
Yes. AI tools produce HTML designs, and idmly converts that HTML into a native, editable .idml with real text frames, named styles, and charts as editable vectors. It works regardless of which AI tool produced the HTML.
