Booklets

Make a booklet from any PDF.

Drop a PDF and get fold-and-staple sheets: pages paired for folding, the sheet picked at twice your page, duplex set to flip on the long edge.

01

Sheet picked for you

A4 pages become A3 sheets, Letter becomes Tabloid. Landscape is chosen when the pages ask for it.

02

Right order, every time

Saddle stitch or perfect bound. Blank pages are added so the last sheet is never half empty.

03

Creep handled

Thick booklets push inner pages outward; the creep field compensates, and you can set it by hand.

How it works

Three steps.
No form.

The defaults come from your file. Change a setting and the proof updates before you let go of the mouse.

  1. 01Drop the PDF. Spreads are split into pages automatically.
  2. 02Check the front and back of each sheet in the preview.
  3. 03Download the press-ready PDF and print double-sided.

Good questions.

How many pages can a booklet have?
Any count. Pages are padded to a multiple of four, and long runs can be split into sections of 8, 16 or 32 pages.
Do I need to reorder pages first?
No. Give the file in reading order; the imposition reorders them for folding.
Is the file uploaded?
Everything runs in your browser. The file is never uploaded, and the download comes from the same engine that drew the preview.
