An unpublished thesis is original, unprotected academic work, and worrying about a leak or a plagiarism flag before the defence is completely reasonable. That is why this page has no upload: the .docx is unzipped and read inside your own browser tab. No server, no account, no storage, no copy. Load the page once and you can even switch off the network and keep checking.
The alternative today is booking an appointment for a manual check at your graduate school, or paying a formatting service to do it for you. Check it yourself in five seconds instead — without sending your thesis to anyone.
A free thesis format checker for Gazi University (Ankara) theses and dissertations. Drop your Word .docx above and the page margins, line spacing, body font, point size, heading styles and page number position are checked in seconds. Every failing item shows the expected value, the value found and the exact Word menu that fixes it; passing items are listed in green as well. No sign-up, no fee, no upload — your thesis never leaves your device.
These values need confirming. The rule set below holds widely used values for Gazi University and carries a verified: false flag in the table. Thesis guides are revised every three to five years and graduate schools differ, so compare them with your own current guide. If yours differs, pick Custom rules in the tool and type your own numbers.
Drop the .docx file of your thesis — it is opened in your browser and sent nowhere.
Gazi University is already selected; choose your graduate school, or switch to Custom rules if your guide differs.
Hit “Check formatting”, read the failing items with their fixes, then export the report as CSV or print it.
Graduate schools in the list: Graduate School of Natural and Applied Sciences, Graduate School of Social Sciences, Graduate School of Health Sciences, Graduate School of Educational Sciences. They may share the same rule set here, but each one publishes its own guide — always follow the current version from your own school. If a single value differs, such as the point size or the page number position, change it under Custom rules and the full check still runs.
Drop the Word .docx file of your thesis into the tool above. Gazi University is already selected; pick your graduate school and hit “Check formatting”.

Everything runs in your browser — the file is never sent anywhere.
No. The record holds widely used values and is flagged verified: false. Thesis guides are revised every three to five years and graduate schools of the same university can differ. If your guide asks for something other than top 30 mm, right 25 mm, bottom 30 mm, left 40 mm, choose Custom rules in the tool and type your own numbers — the check works the same way.
No. The .docx is opened inside your browser tab; there is no server, no account and no storage. An unpublished thesis is original work and being careful before the defence is reasonable, so the file never leaves your device — you can even go offline after the page loads and keep checking.
An old .doc (Word 97-2003) stores formatting in an undocumented binary layout, and a PDF has already discarded Word settings such as line spacing, style names and point size, keeping only the final page image. Neither allows a real format check. Open the file in Word and use File → Save As → Word Document (.docx).
