# How do I get a PDF of my book?

|| Find out how to create a PDF export (on your computer, tablet or smartphone). You need at least 3 stories or chapters in your book to generate a preview and download the PDF.

## 1. When using a web browser

The process is quite simple:

* Click on [Layout & Print](https://meminto.com/app/interior-editor/) in your [Meminto account](https://app.meminto.com/).
* Go to the "Inside" step. Your book will be displayed (if not, click "Save" again)
* Click on the arrow down on the right above your book preview:

Please note that your download contains a watermark. This will not appear in the printed book. You can also order a digital version of your book, which will be available as a PDF and as a digital page-turning book in your browser to be shared with your family worldwide.

## 2. When using the mobile app

* Tap "Book" at the bottom of the app and scroll to the "Preview and Export" button.
* Enter your email address or a preferred email address to send the PDF to (this may take some time)
* Check your email

| In the mobile app, you can remove the watermark for a small one-time payment without having to buy a digital book. You will immediately receive a print-ready PDF of your Meminto book.

## 3. If your book has already been produced and you purchased the digital version

If you bought a digital Meminto flipbook, you can download it directly from the overview after requesting it by email (support@meminto.com). We will then enable the download feature:

We do this for security reasons, so your book can't be downloaded or shared without your knowledge – even if you’ve shared it.

# What is the purpose of a PDF export for Meminto Stories?

Not everyone wants to end up with a printed book at the end of their writing journey. Many of us just need a little inspiration to get started. We've got lots of questions to get your creative juices flowing! Start by writing about [your own life](https://meminto.com/product/life-book/) or the lives [of your children](https://meminto.com/product/childhood-book/). You can even work with a ghostwriter or family member to get your ideas down on paper. Here are two examples:

## It's so lovely when you get to write a book with your grandparents and parents!

Grandchildren would love to record their grandparents' life stories with them. But they're not sure yet if these stories will be enough for a book. No problem! You can simply start a free project in the app. After a short interview, 52 questions about the person's life are available, which you can expand or adapt as you see fit. With these questions, you now have a perfect guide to help you quickly record the most important key points in a structured way, and produce a printout at the end.

## As a ghostwriter for preparing biographies

Ghostwriters (or writing assistants) can use our questions to create a helpful guide with their clients. Clients can then use the app to answer the most important questions themselves, generate a printout, and hand it to the ghostwriter, who can use it for a biography. The ghostwriter can even be invited as a participant in their own story and add questions themselves that are deemed relevant.
