Trust & Organization

A print-shop imposition, done automatically

Manually laying out a booklet by hand is easy to get wrong. This tool uses the standard saddle-stitch page order so folding produces the correct reading sequence.

FAQ

Booklet layout questions

What printer settings do I need?

Print double-sided (“flip on short edge”), then fold each printed sheet in half and stack them in order to form the booklet.

What if my page count isn't a multiple of 4?

Blank slots are added automatically at the end so the layout still folds correctly.

Does this resize my original pages?

Each original page is placed at its original size side-by-side with another page on a sheet twice as wide.

Is my file uploaded to a server?

No. The layout is built entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded or stored.
