Features

A complete overview of what Autype can do — from writing and styling to automation and security.

​

Editor and authoring

Autype supports familiar Markdown syntax with extensions for professional documents. You can also use the visual editor if you prefer clicking over typing — switch between views anytime. What you can write: Headings, paragraphs with rich formatting, ordered and unordered lists, tables, LaTeX math (inline and block), code blocks with syntax highlighting, images, and more.

​

Citations and bibliography

Academic-grade citation management built right into the editor. Add citations with a simple inline syntax and Autype handles the rest.

• 6 citation styles — APA 7, Harvard, IEEE, Chicago, MLA, Vancouver
• Import your existing bibliography — BibTeX, RIS, EndNote XML, Zotero
• Automatic bibliography — Only cited sources appear, always in the correct format
• Cross-references — Reference any heading, figure, or table by anchor. Autype keeps them correct as your document changes.

​

Automatic indices

Autype generates and maintains all indices automatically as you write:

• Table of contents — with configurable depth
• List of figures — auto-numbered with clickable links
• List of tables — auto-numbered, same as figures
• List of abbreviations — define once, reference everywhere
• Bibliography — generated from your citations

All indices update in real-time. Page numbers are inserted on export.

​

Reusable document styles

Define your corporate design once — fonts, colors, heading styles, headers, footers — and apply it across every document in your organization.

• Global defaults — Set font, size, color, and element styles for the entire document
• Custom headers and footers — Three-column layout with logos, titles, and page numbers
• Style presets — Save and share styles across your team. Apply with one click.
• AI-generated styles — Describe the look you want in plain language, and AI generates the matching style

​

Flexible page layouts

Mix portrait and landscape orientations within the same document. Full control over how content flows across pages.

• Page orientation per section — Switch between portrait and landscape anywhere in the document
• Page sections — Flow sections, multi-column layouts, and precise positioning
• Page breaks — Insert breaks with optional orientation changes
• Margins and spacing — Configurable per section or globally

​

Embedded visualizations

Create charts and QR codes directly in your document — no external tools needed.

• Charts — Bar, Line, Pie, Doughnut, Radar, Polar, Scatter, Bubble
• QR codes — For URLs, WiFi credentials, vCards, and custom data
• Auto-captioned — Figures are numbered and appear in the list of figures automatically

​

Dynamic variables

Insert placeholders anywhere in your document and fill them dynamically — via the UI, API, or bulk import.

• Text variables — Names, dates, amounts, any text
• Image variables — Logos, signatures, photos
• List variables — Dynamic bullet points from data
• Table variables — Invoice rows, product lists, any tabular data
• Built-in variables — Page number, total pages, and more

Variables make every document a reusable template. Fill them once in the UI, or fill them thousands of times via API.

​

Real-time collaboration

Multiple users can edit the same document simultaneously with live cursors and selection awareness. Built on CRDT technology — no conflicts, ever.

• Live cursors — See where everyone is editing
• Comments — Line-anchored with threaded replies, resolve/reopen workflow
• Offline support — Keep working without internet, changes sync automatically on reconnect

​

Version history

Every change to your document is tracked — automatically. Autype creates automatic versions in the background so you always have a safety net, even if you never think about versioning. Need more control? Create named versions at any point — before a major rewrite, after a milestone, or before sending to a client.

• Automatic versions — created in the background as you work, no action required
• Manual named versions — create a snapshot with a custom name at any time
• One-click rollback — restore any previous version instantly
• Side-by-side diff — compare any version against the current document to see exactly what changed, in Markdown or JSON view
• Author tracking — every version records who made the change and when

​

Export formats

Export your documents to the format you need:

​

Automation and bulk generation

Autype is built for automation from the ground up:

• Complete document generation — Create entire documents via REST API
• Bulk jobs — Generate up to 100 personalized documents per job from CSV or spreadsheet data
• Template variables — Fill templates dynamically via UI, API, or bulk import
• Webhooks — Get notified when jobs complete
• No-code integration — Works with n8n, Make, Zapier, and any HTTP-capable platform

​

Real-time validation

Autype validates your document as you type — no waiting for a compile or export to discover errors:

• Broken references — highlighted immediately
• Undefined abbreviations — flagged as you type
• Missing citations — caught before export
• Invalid syntax — instant feedback

​

Security and hosting

All data is stored and processed on secured servers within the European Union. Autype is fully GDPR-compliant with encryption at rest and in transit, role-based access control, and audit logs.
