# Quickstart
> Create your first Autype document in under 5 minutes — from sign-up to PDF export.
Get from zero to your first exported PDF in under 5 minutes.
## 1. Create your account
Go to [app.autype.com](https://app.autype.com) and sign up with your email or use Google / GitHub OAuth.
After verifying your email, you'll land in your **Workspace**.
## 2. Create a project
Click **New Project** in your workspace. Give it a name — for example, "My First Document".
Projects are folders that contain your documents, variables, and version history.
## 3. Create a document
Inside your project, click **New Document**. You'll be taken directly into the editor.
## 4. Write your content
Start typing using Markdown syntax — or use the visual editor toolbar if you prefer clicking.
Here's a simple example to get you started:
```markdown theme={null}
