What it is

InPage is page-making software for Urdu and related languages, intended for publishing newspapers, magazines, and books. Its desktop product supports Perso-Arabic scripts including Urdu, Arabic, Persian, Sindhi, Kashmiri, Pushto, and Hazaragi. Layout tools provide linked or separate text boxes and automatic rules between columns; automatic kerning adjusts extra word spacing in Nastaliq text. InPage 4.1 adds character style sheets, multilevel bullets and numbering, spell checking with autocorrection, and word completion. It imports AI and EPS files, exports pages to EPS, GIF, PNG, TIFF, or BMP at selectable resolutions from 96 to 1200 DPI, and can generate ePUB files. The free mobile app creates and edits Nastaliq and Naskh files for use with the Urdu desktop application. Online InPage Tools runs in the cloud without downloads, though conversion limits depend on file version: PDF conversion supports files up to version 4.0, while EPUB and TXT conversion supports versions up to 3.6. The maker says InPage has served publishing needs since its introduction in 1994. The desktop product is for Windows, not Mac.

InPage in depth

Read the full write-up

InPage is specialist page-layout software for Urdu and other Perso-Arabic scripts, aimed at publishers producing newspapers, magazines, and books. It is the stronger choice when Nastaliq composition matters more than broad platform support; the desktop application is for Windows, not Mac.

Overview

InPage combines script-aware typesetting with tools for composing and exporting publication pages. Its maker says it has served publishing needs since 1994. That long-running focus is useful for publishers working in Urdu and related languages, but it does not make InPage a natural fit for general-purpose publishing teams that need a Mac desktop workflow.

Key features

Perso-Arabic typography: The desktop application supports Urdu, Arabic, Persian, Sindhi, Kashmiri, Pushto, and Hazaragi. Automatic kerning in Nastaliq tackles excess spacing between words, a meaningful layout aid for publishers working in that script.

Page composition: Linked and unlinked text boxes, automatic lines between text-box columns, and master pages support structured layouts. InPage 4.1 adds character style sheets, multilevel bullets and numbering, spell check with autocorrection, and word completion. These tools suit text-heavy publications, though the feature set is oriented toward the product’s specialist publishing use.

Import and export: InPage 4.1 imports AI and EPS files and exports pages to EPS, GIF, PNG, TIFF, or BMP at selectable resolutions from 96 to 1200 DPI. It also generates ePUB files, covering both image-based output and digital publication.

Mobile and cloud utilities: The free mobile app creates and edits Nastaliq and Naskh files for use with the InPage Urdu desktop application and works with the InPage keyboard. InPage Tools runs in the cloud without downloads and says it supports Windows, macOS, Linux, and mobile devices. Its platform reach does not change the desktop application's Windows-only compatibility.

InDesign add-on: The InPage Plugin for InDesign provides a Quran Glossary panel with Indo-Pak Quranic text and selection of Surahs or Ayahs, a focused option for Quran-related publishing.

Pricing

InPage has free entry points, paid conversion, and optional annual support. The desktop product is sold separately; its payment guide says it is not for Mac operating systems.

Conversion charges are per word, and the supported input versions vary by output format: PDF conversion reaches version 4.0, while EPUB and TXT stop at 3.6. Annual support costs US$ 50 per user each year and includes upgrades and major releases. Support is free for the first three months after software sale; annual support is optional afterward.

Platforms

The desktop product runs on Windows. Although the free app is available for Android and iOS and InPage Tools says it supports Windows, macOS, Linux, and mobile devices, neither changes the desktop compatibility limit. Mac users needing desktop publishing should choose another application.

Who it's for

InPage is best suited to publishers creating Urdu or related-script newspapers, magazines, and books, particularly when Nastaliq typography and text-heavy page composition are central. Its mobile editor and Quran-focused InDesign panel serve narrower companion workflows. It is a weaker fit for Mac-first teams or readers seeking a platform-neutral desktop publishing system.

Pros and cons

Pros

Support for seven Perso-Arabic scripts and automatic Nastaliq kerning addresses specific typesetting needs.

Text boxes, master pages, and InPage 4.1 editing tools support structured, text-rich publications.

Broad raster export formats, selectable 96–1200 DPI output, and ePUB generation provide print and digital options.

Free Lite, mobile, and trial options allow limited use before committing to paid conversion or support.

Cons

The desktop application is Windows-only, ruling it out for Mac desktop workflows.

Conversion is billed per word, and EPUB and TXT conversion covers older versions only, up to 3.6.

Annual support is priced per user, so teams must account for each seat when budgeting continued support and upgrades.

Alternatives

For a broader desktop-publishing comparison, start with Desktop Publishing Software. Consider VivaDesigner if you want a free edition that continues after a 30-day full-feature trial and support across web, desktop, Linux, Mac, Windows, and self-hosted platforms. Choose Flipsnack for web-based flipbook publishing, with its free plan capped at five flipbooks, 15 pages each, and 100 MB PDF uploads. PublishMedia is an option for viewing Publisher and Office files across several desktop and web platforms; its free starter plan does not allow editing or export and stores files for seven days.

QuarkXPress is another alternative. iStudio Publisher is for Mac users. Affinity offers free page-layout tools alongside vector and pixel editing. Blurb BookWright focuses on desktop book design, with templates and offline editing. Megal Publisher is a web-based publication editor.

Verdict

Choose InPage if you publish in Urdu or related Perso-Arabic scripts and need Nastaliq-aware layout tools, export options, and a Windows desktop workflow. Its strongest reason to buy is the specialist handling of these scripts; its clearest reason to look elsewhere is the Windows-only desktop limit, especially for Mac-first teams.

Verdict

InPage offers language-specific page layout and publishing tools, along with mobile editing and cloud conversion options. Windows support and version limits on conversion are important constraints to consider.
