Guides
Pages per Sheet lays out 2, 4, 6, or 9 pages of a PDF onto each printed sheet — smaller thumbnails arranged in a grid instead of one page per sheet — right in your browser. Pick the layout, paper size, orientation, margin, and an optional thin border around each cell, then download.
How to use it
- Upload a PDF file.
- Choose Pages per sheet — 2, 4, 6, or 9.
- Pick the output paper size and orientation.
- Adjust the margin slider to control the spacing around and between pages.
- Turn on Cell borders if you want a thin line around each page for easier cutting or reading.
- Press Lay Out PDF. The result downloads automatically as
pages-per-sheet.pdf.
How pages are arranged
Pages fill each sheet left-to-right, top-to-bottom, in their original order — page 1 in the top-left cell, page 2 next to it, and so on. Once a sheet is full, a new sheet starts. If the page count doesn't divide evenly, the last sheet just has fewer filled cells.
Why do this in the browser?
Most online N-up tools upload your document to a server first. This one does the whole job locally using the pdf-lib library, so contracts, handouts, and anything else private stay on your device. There's no upload or download round-trip, so it's also near-instant.
Why isn't there a 3, 8, 12, or 16-per-sheet option?
2/4/6/9 map onto clean rectangular grids (1×2, 2×2, 2×3, 3×3) that read well at typical page sizes. Odd counts like 3 or 8 usually mean a mostly-empty grid cell on the last sheet anyway — if you need a specific irregular layout, Merge PDF plus manual page arrangement gives you full control.
Will this work on a password-protected PDF?
A PDF with an owner lock but no open password usually lays out fine. A file that requires a password just to open must be unlocked first — use the Unlock PDF tool, then run this tool on the result.
