Desktop publishing for Word and Google Docs
Make it look printed, not typed.
Offizin puts a publishing studio inside the word processor you already use. Pick a brochure, newsletter, flyer, card, or calendar, and it arrives in your colors, your fonts, and your business details, ready to print and fold.
Moving on from Microsoft Publisher? Publisher reached its end of life in October 2026. Offizin keeps the parts people loved: a gallery of publications, color and font schemes, business information sets, page parts, a design checker, and folding guides.
Eighteen publications, ready in seconds
Every template adapts to Letter or A4 paper and to the colors, fonts, and information you set once. Click one to open it in the live demo.
Everything Publisher users reach for
Publication gallery
Tri-fold and bi-fold brochures, newsletters, flyers, posters, signs, business cards, postcards, greeting cards, invitations, programs, menus, letterhead, labels, calendars, certificates, and a resume.
Color and font schemes
Twelve color schemes and eight font pairings, or your own brand colors. Change the scheme later and the whole publication follows, with your text kept.
Business information
Enter your name, organization, address, phone, website, and logo once. Every card, letterhead, and brochure fills them in. Keep separate sets for work, a club, or home.
Page parts
Drop in pull quotes, sidebars, coupons, attention getters, event details, schedules, contact blocks, and testimonials, all styled to match.
Design checker
Finds sample text you forgot to replace, picture placeholders still waiting for photos, and business details you never filled in. One click takes you to each one.
Print and fold guides
Fold lines on screen, never on paper. Step by step help for tri-folds, half-folds, cards, and labels, plus picture placeholders you swap with one right-click.
Install it your way
Microsoft Word
Word on the web, Windows, and Mac
Add Offizin with a small manifest file: about two minutes for one person. IT administrators can deploy it to a whole organization from the Microsoft 365 admin center with a single link.
Google Docs
Personal Google accounts and Google Workspace
Offizin for Google Docs is a short script you paste into a document once. Keep that document as your starter, and every copy you make comes with Offizin built in.
Free for everyone, private by design
Personal, business, and enterprise
Offizin is open source under the MIT License. Use it at home, at work, in schools, and in commercial projects at no cost.
No server, no account
Offizin runs inside Word or Google Docs. Your documents never pass through an Offizin server, because there is none.
No tracking
No sign-up, no analytics, no cookies. Your settings stay in your browser or your own Google account. Read the privacy policy.
What Offizin does differently from Publisher
Offizin builds publications from tables and pictures that Word and Google Docs understand everywhere, including on the web. That keeps documents easy to edit and share. A few things work differently:
- Panels and columns are fixed table cells rather than free-floating text boxes, so they never drift when someone edits the text.
- Text does not flow from one box to the next. The design checker and the demo point out text that runs past the page.
- For mail merge, use the mail merge built into Word, or an add-on for Google Docs.
