Why in5

If you're like many designers we know, you're able to produce some fantastic designs using InDesign.

But now clients are asking for digital magazines, mobile apps, ebooks, and web banners.

Unfortunately, there hasn't been an easy way to translate your designs into web and mobile experiences—unless you want to learn to code.

Now you can use in5 to export your InDesign layout with rich interactivity—and no coding!

"I’m not sure you know what this means, or how completely excited I am. Game changer."

- Julie Archibald, Sr. Manager of Presentation Design & Data Vis at Avid

How in5 works

in5 translates your InDesign layout to an interactive HTML experience.

The exported files that are produced are yours to keep and modify as you please.

Total flexibility because you own your content

The files are exported to your hard drive just like a PDF.

You can then post your files to the web, or package them into a mobile app.

Unlike a PDF, you can easily open and make changes to the HTML5 files without re-exporting them.

Create as many apps or sites as you like!

Easily create different types of interactive documents

Create a flipbook, a one-page scrolling website, a presentation, a banner ad or more using the Easy Export Wizard.
