PDF N-Up Tool

How to Put Multiple PDF Pages on One Sheet

1. Drop your PDF onto the tool, or click Choose PDF. Only .pdf files are accepted.
2. Pick a layout. Click a preset such as 2x2 (4 pages) or 3x3 (9 pages), or type your own numbers in Custom Columns and Custom Rows. The Layout Preview shows the grid. It starts at 2 by 2.
3. Set the Page Margin in millimeters. The default is 5. Then choose Show page borders or Hide borders.
4. Choose the Page Order. Row-major fills each row from left to right and moves down. Column-major fills each column from top to bottom and moves right.
5. Click Create N-Up PDF. A message tells you how many sheets were made.
6. Click Download N-Up PDF. The file name ends with the grid you used, for example _2x2_nup.pdf.

Why Use This N-Up PDF Tool

• Your file stays on your device. The pages are arranged by code running in your browser. Nothing is sent to a server.
• Presets and custom grids. Eight one-click layouts from 2x1 to 4x4, or any grid up to 8 columns by 8 rows.
• Two reading orders. Row-major or column-major, so the pages follow the order you plan to read them in.
• Margin and borders. Keep thin frames around each page so they are easy to tell apart on paper, or hide them for a cleaner sheet.

Good to know: the output is always an A4 sheet in portrait orientation. Each page is redrawn as an image, so text in the new file cannot be selected or searched. The layout uses the proportions of your first page for every page, so a PDF that mixes page sizes can look stretched. The margin applies to the edge of the sheet only, with no gap between pages. To combine separate files first, use Merge PDF.

FAQ

How do I print multiple pages on one sheet of paper?

Drop your PDF onto the tool, pick a layout such as 2x2, click Create N-Up PDF and download the result. Print the new file at 100 percent scale and each sheet carries several of your original pages.

Which layouts can I choose?

The presets are 1x1, 2x2, 3x3, 4x4, 2x1, 1x2, 2x3 and 3x2. You can also type your own number of columns and rows, up to 8 of each.

Can I use Letter paper or turn the sheet sideways?

No. The output sheet is always A4 in portrait orientation. If you print on US Letter, set your printer to fit the content to the page.

Will I still be able to select the text?

No. Every page is redrawn as an image before it is placed on the sheet, so the new file has no selectable or searchable text. Keep your original PDF for that.

Why does one of my pages look stretched or too small?

The tool sizes every cell from the first page of your PDF. If later pages have a different shape, they are squeezed into that same frame. Splitting the document by page size first avoids this.

Is my PDF uploaded anywhere, and is there a size limit?

No, the PDF stays on your device while it is processed in your browser. Your file size limit is shown on this page, and a free account raises it.
