N-up & booklet

Several pages per sheet, booklets

How it works

Save paper with several pages per sheet, or arrange pages into a booklet you can print and fold.

  1. Add one PDF file.
  2. Choose pages per sheet, or Booklet.
  3. Pick the paper size and spacing.
  4. Download and print — for booklets, print double-sided and flip on the short edge.

Questions

How do I print a booklet?

Print double-sided with “flip on short edge”, then fold the stack in half. Blank pages are added automatically so the page count is a multiple of four.

Is the quality reduced?

No — pages are placed as vectors, so text stays sharp at any size.

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No. Every operation runs locally in your browser using JavaScript (pdf-lib, with page previews from PDF.js). Your documents are never transmitted to us or to any third party, and there are no accounts, watermarks, or file-retention tricks. You can even disconnect from the internet after the page loads and the tools still work.
