How it works
- Add your PDF. Drag it into the box above, or choose a file. It stays on your device.
- Check the settings. The booklet maker picks sensible ones. Choose your paper size and look at the preview to see the finished pages.
- Download and print. Print the file two-sided, flip on short edge, at actual size (100%). The Printing guide helps if you aren’t sure.
- Fold and staple. Fold the stack in half and put two staples in the fold, as in the pictures above.
Guides
- How to print a booklet: Two-sided printing, flip edge and scale: the settings that make the pages come out in order.
- Print a booklet on a Mac: Preview has no booklet option. Here is the quick way around it.
- Print a booklet in Word: Use Word’s book fold, or make the booklet from a PDF.
- Make a booklet from Google Docs: Google Docs cannot do it alone. Export a PDF and let the booklet maker order the pages.
- Zine maker: fold a mini zine from one sheet of paper. A blank template is free too.
Questions about the booklet maker
Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?
No. The booklet is made in your browser, on your device. Your file is never sent to a server, and nothing is stored once you close the page.
Is it really free?
Yes. There is no sign-up and no watermark on the booklet.
How many pages can my PDF have?
Any number up to 500 pages. Each sheet holds four pages, so blank pages are added at the end if the count isn’t a multiple of 4. Very large files may take a while.
My printer can’t print on both sides. What now?
Choose “One side only” in the settings. The booklet maker then gives you a file with the fronts and a file with the backs, and shows how to put the printed sheets back in the tray.
Which paper size should I pick?
The one in your printer: Letter in the United States and Canada, A4 in most other countries. The booklet maker picks one from your browser’s language, and from your PDF’s page size.
The form fields or comments in my PDF are missing.
Interactive parts can look different after the pages are copied into the booklet. Open your PDF, choose Print, and save it as a new PDF (“Print to PDF”). That flattens the form into plain page content. Use the flattened file in the booklet maker.
How do I download the file on an iPhone or iPad?
After you tap Download, Safari shows the PDF. Tap the share button and choose “Print” or “Save to Files”. To print from an iPhone, you need an AirPrint printer.
My PDF is password-protected.
Remove the password first (open the file with the password, then print it to a new PDF), and try again.
