Open your layouts

AIM Design
Lay out catalogues, magazines and brochures ready for print.
Open your IDML and even your INDD files, with their master pages, styles and images, and carry on laying out where you left off. From first draft to print PDF, without leaving the browser.
Free, no sign-up, no card.

What usually gets in the way
Files only one program can open
AIM Design opens IDML, INDD and PDF directly, with nothing to convert first.
Pricey subscriptions for occasional use
AIM Design is free and complete, with no time limit and no card.
Heavy software to install
AIM Design opens in a browser tab: nothing to download, install or update.

Why you can trust it
Everything in your browser
AIM Design runs inside your browser: it opens and saves on your computer. Your files are never uploaded to a server and nobody else sees them.
Spanish company, servers in the EU
AIM CREATE belongs to Biomag, a Spanish technology company since 1987. The website and accounts run on servers in the European Union.
Tested with real files
Before every release we open real IDML and INDD files (one of them 187 MB) and check that the text and pages are kept.
No watermarks
Not even on the free plan: what you export is yours, as it is, and video goes up to 4K.
Clear pricing
Free forever. CREATE Plus is optional: €1.99 a month on the yearly plan (€23.88 a year) or €2.49 a month paid every 6 months, VAT included.
Questions about AIM Design
Does it really open INDD files?
Yes. We test with real catalogues of hundreds of megabytes: they open with their pages and save as a copy.
Can I deliver to a printer?
Yes: print PDF, preflight and imposed booklets.
Are my documents uploaded anywhere?
No. AIM Design works inside your browser, with the files on your computer.
