Features
Design & Layout
When great stories meet intricate design, that's exactly when the magic happens.
Powerful layouting features are at the core of both our native and web-based editor, which enable designers to build pixel-perfect layouts that shine in every browser.
Be it hand-crafted editorial design in our native editor or free-flowing web design in our browser editor: To us, creative freedom isn't picking one of three options.
Phone to TV screen – Style knows no viewport width.
Purely graphical – Drag & Drop
Let your developers focus on creating your business value – you don't need them for pagestrip. Place and edit, not code and test.
Free layouts – really
What if you could edit a website like a PowerPoint or an InDesign? In pagestrip, you can! Place things exactly where you want!
Copy & Paste, Undo & Redo
With a desktop-grade editing experience, you save not only time, but also nerves. In our native app, but also in the browser.
Templates & Styles
Reuse your work and gradually build your own template library. Turn any design into a template and vice-versa.
Rich text formatting
Need exactly that condensed bold italic font? pagestrip offers print-grade text formatting features, and even OpenType settings.
Guides & Grids
Professional layouting guides like margin & column grids, a baseline grid, or manual guides let you design with confidence.
Responsive view optimizations
No need to rebuild your layouts for small screens, but plenty of ways to optimize them. You're in control, but won't work twice.
Preview on any device
Anything you build can quickly be previewed on any device in your local network, even if you work in our macOS editor.
Animate & Interact
Animations and interactive elements are the spices elevating the stories you're cooking up.
In pagestrip, the animation system is split into triggers and actions, which can be freely combined to form individual experiences.
As an example, a slide animation maybe be triggered by your scroll position, whereas a fade animation might be bound to a click on an element.
Add slideshows or videos to the mix and make it shine.
Trigger animations by events
Want elements to fade in and out as you scroll? An info box to appear when you click a hotspot? You can model this, and more…
Background effects and parallax
Nothing screams "modern web" like fixed backgrounds animating behind your story elements – and that's why we have that.
Embed third-party widgets
With a flexible widget box, add external features like playlists, newsletter signups, or social media anywhere in your layouts.
Flexible slideshows
Stuff your stories with images and media by using our slideshows, add captions, and let readers lose themselves in the show.
Blend modes and element groups
Take animations to the next level by using blend modes and grouped elements as another tool in your creative belt.
Tune animations for all screens
Mix, re-use, or customize animations for large and small screen – If it doesn't translate well, you're in control to adapt it!
Sprinkle your stories with videos
As an inline player or an animated background, videos spice up any story! Host via pagestrip assets, Youtube, or Vimeo.
Animated, but not hidden
Even if you don't see an element without interaction, search engines and screen readers do – we keep your ideas accessible.
Images & Media
Working with various media files, such as images, video, audio, PDF, or InDesign is an important aspect of crafting compelling stories.
That's why we're striving for premier support of working with media files directly in our tools, without having to refer you to third-party apps like Photoshop. That's a real time-saver!
Crop and cut, set focus points, convert formats and fonts, and export at excellent quality: You design, while pagestrip takes care of the chores.
Crop, zoom, flip, rotate
Leave your Photoshop app closed and transform your images right in pagestrip: It's no fun to need another app.
Convert and use any font
Tired of seeing the same Google fonts, or need a specific font for your CI? pagestrip can convert nearly any font for web.
Import any image format
Our native tool knows all the acronyms, like JPG, PNG, EPS, PDF, PSD, AI, TIFF, and many more. It even understands color spaces!
Asset management
Store assets like images, font, or videos, or anything else straight in a local file or on the web. Let your readers download files, too!
Modern image formats
Automatically serve modern formats like WebP or AVIF, at just the right size: Better quality at smaller sizes for a faster web!
Video included
Upload videos to your pagestrip project or embed them from Youtube and Vimeo. There's autoplay and a regular player.
High-res image optimization
We'll serve the most fitting sizes at the best resolutions to your users – You provide high quality, and we serve the best quality.
Focus & crop areas
Crop images and mark the most interesting areas even in our browser editor, so your images may adapt to any aspect ratio.

Questions popping up?
Be sure to check out our Frequently Asked Questions
– Your answer may well be there.
SEO & Search engines
Your stories deserve to be found: pagestrip will automatically inject all necessary metadata, structured data, and OpenGraph data into your creations.
No matter if it's a single story or a whole microsite with multiple sub-pages, your content will be indexed fully – even if you embed it into an existing website.
You are in full control, though: Exclude from indexing, manage canonicals, manually customize metadata. Say goodbye to your "SEO plugin" and hello to pagestrip.
SEO Metadata Handling
Automatically include metadata, such as titles, description, and images, or customize them to your likings.
Rich Results ready
Generate detailed structured data in JSON-LD format to deeply explain your pages to search engines – even when you embed!
Sitemaps and RSS/Atom Feeds
Provide XML sitemaps and feeds for all your public pages, so that search engines find them faster – even for embedded content.
Viewport-optimized rendering
Prioritize content in the first visible viewport, so that your readers, but also search engines see it faster – improve your Core Web Vitals!
Canonical link management
Automatically provide or manually customize your canonicals, so that your stories are found exactly where you want them to be.
Exclude from indexing
Bar stories from indexing whenever you need to, even when you embed them on your own website. Some things are for people only.
Prevent indexing errors
Scared of "soft 404s" when you embed? Don't be, pagestrip automatically marks error pages and empty pages as "noindex" content.
SEO-friendly animations
Ever got something missed by a search engine, because it was hidden on initial page view? That won't happen with pagestrip.
Privacy & Security
Maintaining your readers' privacy is a great way to respect them, but also a regulatory obligation: As a European business, we're deeply committed to high levels of data privacy and architect our product accordingly.
With pagestrip, you don't worry about GDPR compliance or other privacy laws: We collect the absolute minimum amount of data, and we don't track your readers.
We also take security seriously: In fact, using a pagestrip embed is a great way to put stories on your website, while keeping your internal systems entirely isolated from us.
GDPR-compliant & hosted in Europe
Your data won't leave the continent, and we don't look over your readers' shoulder in any way. We need to be GDPR-compliant by law.
Bring your own analytics
You'll want to know who reads your stories: That's why you can use your existing analytics directly – We don't need access.
Cookieless embedding
Feel confident when you embed pagestrip stories into your website: We won't set any cookies in your readers' browser at all.
No third-party resources
pagestrip is self-contained: Don't worry about things like Google Fonts, Javascript CDNs, etc... We don't need or want those.
User permissions for team members
Distinguish between administrators and editors, so that each team member may do what they need to do, but nothing more.
Encrypted all the way
Your project is protected by TLS and HSTS and a free TLS certificate for your custom domain. Your data is also encrypted at rest.
Bring your own consent manager
We're excited about cookie banners as much as you are, so you can easily add your own consent manager and have it all in one place.
Keep your business IT isolated
No matter how you're using pagestrip, there's no need for work on the backend side – keep your internal network safely isolated.
