Why Inkforge

Medium can't display tables, ASCII diagrams, Mermaid charts or highlighted code — and pasting a PDF loses its structure entirely. Inkforge rebuilds that structure and redraws the visuals, then shows a Medium-accurate preview you can edit in place before you paste it in, piece by piece.

What it does

Import from anywhere

PDF, Markdown, text or HTML files, or paste straight from Google Docs, Word, Notion or any web page — headings, lists, tables, links and images stay intact.

True PDF recovery

Headings, bold text, callouts, lists, tables, code blocks and indentation are recovered, not just dumped as flat text.

Diagrams rebuilt, not flattened

ASCII and box-drawing diagrams are reconstructed even when the source PDF collapsed them onto one line.

Modern redrawn visuals

Diagrams, tables, code, file trees and cover images are redrawn as crisp 1400px Retina PNGs, in 5 selectable themes.

Diagram Studio

Edit any diagram as plain text with a live preview — no separate design tool needed.

Tag Radar

Suggests a balanced mix of 5 Medium tags — broad, best-fit and niche — entirely offline.

Medium-ready formatting

Two heading levels, split long paragraphs, captions, alt text and an estimated read time, matched to how Medium renders.

Paste panel

Opens a new Medium story with every part listed, ready to insert or copy one piece at a time.

Publish anywhere

Copy as rich text for Medium, Substack, Ghost or LinkedIn, or publish images to your own GitHub Pages first.

Optional AI assist

Bring your own key — Claude, an OpenAI-compatible endpoint, or a local Ollama server — with an automatic AI-disclosure line added for you.

Private by design

Everything runs in your browser. No account, no tracking, no server — Inkforge sends nothing to its developer. Optional features (AI assist, GitHub publishing) talk only to the services you configure, with your own keys. See the privacy policy for the full details.
