About N-up PDF

The N-up PDF tool tiles several source pages onto each output sheet, so a long document prints on far fewer pages.

Drop in a PDF, choose how many pages to fit per sheet — 2, 4, 6, 8, 9, or 16 — tune the margins and gutter, and download a rebuilt PDF laid out in a neat reading-order grid.

This is the classic handout and proof-sheet layout: shrink a slide deck to four-up for compact notes, gang up a set of tickets or labels, or run a quick thumbnail contact sheet of a long report before you commit it to paper.

Each source page is scaled uniformly to fit its cell and centred, so nothing is stretched or cropped, and pages flow left-to-right then top-to-bottom exactly as you would read them.

The sheet keeps the original page dimensions, so a portrait document yields portrait sheets full of scaled-down copies.

The margin and gutter controls let you leave room for hole-punching or a trimmed edge.

All of the layout maths and PDF assembly happen locally with pdf-lib inside your browser, so the file never touches a server — useful for confidential decks — and it keeps working offline once loaded.

Your original is read-only; the n-up version is delivered as a fresh download you can send straight to the printer.

FAQ

Will my pages get stretched or cropped?

No. Each page is scaled uniformly to fit its grid cell and centred, so the aspect ratio is preserved and nothing is cut off.

Is my PDF uploaded anywhere?

No. The layout and assembly run with pdf-lib entirely in your browser, so the document never leaves your device.

What page sizes does the output use?

The output sheet keeps your source page dimensions, so the scaled-down copies sit on sheets the same shape as the original.
