Format Magic is a web-based AI document formatter that turns plain text into styled Word documents. A user pastes text or uploads a Word or PDF file, picks a template, and the tool applies headings, lists, paragraphs and tables. The company says it does not change the wording, only how the document looks.
The product is run by Format Magic Pty Ltd, based in Perth, Western Australia. Its site points to business proposals, client reports, consultant deliverables and résumés, and also to people who paste output from ChatGPT, Gemini or other AI tools and need a readable, shareable document.
The process has four steps. You select a category, choose a template, then paste your text or extract it from a Word, PDF or text file. Finally you click the format button. Long documents can take several minutes, and the site lets you keep working in other tabs and request a notification when it finishes.
The result opens in an editable preview where you can change the text, drag in images or switch templates. Options for cover page, table of contents, page numbers, orientation and page size can be changed after formatting, and downloading again applies them without reprocessing. Cover pages work best when set before formatting.
Two toggles control how much of your own structure is kept. Keep source emphasis preserves bold, italic, underline and strikethrough, while Keep source headings preserves heading levels. Lists and tables are always kept. A third option indents numbered headings by level, aimed at policies and contracts with several heading levels.
Beyond formatting, the product includes an image library with extraction from Word and PDF files, saved documents, share links, and a Word template customizer for fonts, colors, bullets and logos. Plain-text notation such as $E = mc^2$ or \ce{2H2 + O2 -> 2H2O} becomes editable Word equations on every plan.
