Vellum is a professional ebook and print book formatting application for Mac, used by self-published authors and indie publishers to convert manuscripts into polished ebook files (ePub, Mobi, KF8) and print-ready PDFs. It imports manuscripts from Word or other word processors and provides visual design controls for typography, spacing, covers, and layout without requiring coding knowledge. Vellum is a one-time purchase (rather than subscription) that covers both ebook formatting and, in the Press edition, print-on-demand preparation. A native Apple Silicon build has been confirmed running on Macs in the Rosetta Check community.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionA native Apple Silicon build of Vellum is confirmed to exist, and the vendor has shipped this as a Universal Binary since version 2.8.2 (released in 2020). Simply download the current installer from vellum.pub — the download automatically detects whether your Mac is Apple Silicon or Intel and serves the appropriate build, so you do not need to take any special steps. After downloading and installing, your existing projects, licenses, and preferences will carry over automatically. Once updated to the native build, you will see faster performance for importing manuscripts, previewing layouts, and generating final ebook and print files.
