01

Signatures that fold

Pages are paired across the spine so each printed sheet folds into the right order.

02

Sections for thick books

Choose 8, 16 or 32 pages per section when the binder wants gathered signatures.

03

Bleed kept

Bleed found in the file is carried through; add more if the artwork stops at the trim.

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 and let the sheet be picked.
  2. 02Switch binding or section length if the binder asks.
  3. 03Download and print, flipping on the long edge.

Good questions.

Saddle stitch or perfect bound?
Saddle stitch nests every sheet in one signature. Perfect bound gathers sections that are stacked and glued at the spine.
Can I see the back of a sheet?
Yes. The preview steps through every face, front and back, with page badges so the order is obvious.
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.
