Vellum is Mac-only software for creating ebooks and print books from a single manuscript. It generates validated EPUB 3 and EPUB 2 ebooks with ACE-approved accessibility, plus print-ready PDF/X-1A files in 24 trim sizes, including large print, paperback, and hardcover with full-bleed support.

Is Vellum available for Windows?

No. Vellum runs on macOS 13 or newer, and the company has not announced a Windows version.

How can a Windows author use Vellum?

Vellum's official guide directs Windows authors to MacinCloud, a cloud Mac rental service with pay-as-you-go plans. After a short learning curve, generating final files typically takes well under an hour per project.

What retailers does Vellum support?

Vellum produces specialized files for Amazon (Kindle), Apple Books, Kobo, Barnes & Noble, and Google Play, plus a Generic option suitable for other retailers and aggregators such as Draft2Digital. For print, Vellum outputs a print-ready PDF/X-1A.

Can I add custom scene-break ornaments in Vellum?

Yes. Vellum's Ornamental Break feature lets you choose from built-in ornaments or upload your own custom image by configuring the Ornamental Break Style.

Can Vellum create a box set?

Yes. Vellum has a built-in Box Set workflow that combines multiple completed books into a single ebook or print file in a few steps.
