How to print a PDF as a booklet
- Add your PDF. Drop the file on the page or pick it with the file dialog. The tool detects the page count, size and orientation automatically.
- Choose the output sheet. A4 by default — two A5 pages per side. A5, A3, Letter, Legal and custom sizes are available, with Fit or Fill scaling.
- Generate and download. Pages are reordered into printing pairs (last with first, and so on) and blank pages are added if the count isn't a multiple of four.
- Print double-sided flipping on the short edge, fold the stack in half — and your booklet reads in the correct order. Staple along the fold for a proper zine.
Frequently asked questions
- How does the booklet page order work?
- Pages are paired so the sheets read correctly after folding: the last page with the first (16 | 1), then 2 | 15 on the back, 14 | 3 on the next sheet, and so on. Print double-sided, fold the stack in half, and the booklet reads in the right order.
- Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
- No. The whole conversion runs locally in your browser. Your file never leaves your device, which also makes the tool safe for confidential documents.
- Is this booklet maker really free?
- Yes — completely free, with no watermarks and no account required. If it helps you, you can support development with a small donation.
- Does the output lose quality?
- No. Pages are never converted to images: text, fonts, vector graphics and embedded pictures are copied into the new PDF as-is, so the booklet prints at the same quality as the original.
- What if my page count is not a multiple of four?
- A folded booklet always needs a multiple of four pages, so the tool adds blank pages at the end automatically — a 13-page document becomes a 16-page booklet.
- Which paper sizes are supported?
- Source pages are auto-detected (A6–A3, Letter, Legal or custom). Output sheets: A5, A4 (default), A3, Letter, Legal or a custom size in millimeters. Two source pages are placed on each side of a sheet — for example, two A5 pages per A4 sheet.
