How to booklet layout

  1. Add your file. Click the drop zone or drag a PDF onto the page.
  2. Create the layout. Pages are reordered and paired onto landscape sheets automatically.
  3. Download. Save the resulting print-ready PDF straight to your device.
  4. Print and fold. Print double-sided, then fold the stack in half and staple the spine.

Why do this locally instead of online?

Booklet imposition is a print-shop-style rearrangement, but the document itself is often something personal — a zine, a program, a handout with your own content in it. This tool computes the new page order and builds the layout using a library running directly in your browser.

Frequently asked questions

Does this work with any page count?

Yes — if the page count isn't a multiple of four, blank pages are added automatically.

What paper size should I print on?

Each output page is twice the width of your original page size.

Do I need a special printer?

Any printer that supports double-sided printing on the short edge works.

Will existing page numbers still make sense?

Add fresh page numbers after creating the booklet layout if needed.
