Overview
Unplain is a PDF publishing tool that converts written content into finished, branded documents in minutes. It accepts input from multiple sources: Google Docs, Word files, Markdown, plain text, or directly from AI assistants like Claude and ChatGPT via its MCP (Model Context Protocol) integration. The tool automatically handles design decisions that typically require hours in layout software, including cover generation, table of contents creation, consistent branding application, pagination, and final CTA pages. Unplain is designed for teams and individuals who need to produce polished PDFs repeatedly and quickly, such as marketing teams creating lead magnets, agencies packaging client deliverables, creators building lead-generation freebies, and anyone prioritizing speed over manual design work. The product explicitly does not generate content or function as a WYSIWYG editor; instead, it assumes content is already written and focuses solely on the publishing and design step. Users can adjust branding, layout, and content settings after generation, then export the final PDF.
