The .dform file format
One file. Everything included.
Your writing, styles, and images stay together in one portable document. Move it to another computer and pick up where you left off, with your formatting intact.
Under the hood, a .dform file is an open, ZIP-based
format containing your document, styles, and images.

Your files. Your folders.
Draftform works offline. Save locally, sync with your usual service, or send a file directly.
Markdown in. Markdown out.
Import and export Markdown for use elsewhere. Keep styling in .dform, or export a PDF to share the finished page.
Fonts that follow.
Built-in themes use fonts supplied with Draftform. Custom fonts need to be installed on the receiving computer; otherwise, Draftform uses a fallback.
