Metranpage is a technology company based in Moscow, Russia, that provides an online service for automated book and multi-page publication layout. Founded in 2020 by Kir Vitkovsky, who serves as the company's CEO, the platform is designed to streamline the pre-flight process for authors, publishers, and designers. The service utilizes artificial intelligence and neural networks to automatically format manuscripts, generate cover designs, and create illustrations, significantly reducing the time and cost associated with manual layout.
The platform's core functionality allows users to upload a text document and automatically typeset it for both print and electronic formats like ePub. Users can choose from existing templates or customize layouts to fit their needs. Additional features include an AI-powered conceptual assistant that provides ideas for cover art based on the book's description, an image generator for illustrations, and an online editor for making text changes during the layout stage. The service aims to handle the mechanical, routine tasks of publishing, allowing creators to focus on the creative aspects of their work. The output can be exported as print-ready files or as an Adobe InDesign archive for further professional editing.
Metranpage operates on a subscription-based business model, offering several tiered plans including a free introductory option and paid tiers for authors and businesses with larger volume needs. These plans provide users with a set number of tokens, the internal currency used for typesetting and generating images. The company has received funding from investors including the Social Fund of Russia and Sprint (Russia). It targets a wide range of clients, from independent authors and layout designers to publishing houses and corporate clients requiring multi-page document formatting.
