What formats can I export from Clarami?

Clarami lets you export finished documents as DOCX, PDF, or plain text so you can match your instructor or LMS requirements.

Should I submit PDF or Word for college essays?

Follow the assignment instructions. PDF preserves formatting but is harder for some instructors to comment on; DOCX is often preferred for track changes. When unsure, ask.

Export Your Essay: DOCX, PDF & Hand-In Checklist

Choose the right format for Canvas or email, name files correctly, and verify before you submit.

The last mile matters. Clarami lets you export your finished work as DOCX, PDF, or plain text — pick the format your syllabus or LMS expects, then run through a quick checklist before you click submit.

Choose the right format

DOCX — best when your instructor uses comments or track changes.
PDF — preserves layout; common for "final" submissions.
Plain text — rarely the final hand-in, but useful for pasting into forms.

Name files sensibly

Use the naming convention your course requires: LastName_Assignment3.docx beats Document1.docx.

Before you upload

Open the exported file once on your computer — fonts and page breaks can differ.
Skim citations and the works cited page.
Confirm you are uploading to the correct LMS slot (draft vs final).

Saved documents

Cloud-saved documents in Clarami require a paid plan. On Free, plan your export workflow accordingly — see our pricing guide for details.
