PDF Booklet Maker

Turn any PDF into a foldable booklet: two pages per side, ordered so that printed double-sided and folded down the middle they read 1, 2, 3… The page count is padded to a multiple of four, and the fold can sit on the right for right-to-left scripts.

Step-by-step guide with screenshots

A booklet is an ordering problem: the last page belongs beside the first, the second beside the second-to-last. This page does that ordering and lays the pairs on sheets ready for a duplex printer. Everything happens in your browser - nothing is uploaded.

Frequently asked questions

How do I print a PDF as a booklet?

Open the PDF here and save. Then print the result double-sided, flipping on the short edge, and fold the stack down the middle - the pages will read in order.

What if my page count isn't a multiple of four?

It is padded with blank pages at the end, exactly as a printed booklet needs; the preview shows them as dashed cells.

Can the fold be on the right?

Yes - choose "Right (RTL)" for Hebrew, Arabic or any right-to-left book; the pairs are mirrored.

Is the PDF uploaded?

Nothing is uploaded: the file is opened and processed inside your browser and never leaves your device. Close the tab and it is gone.

Which paper size should I set?

Auto is usually right: two pages go side by side on a sheet of the source page's own size turned the other way, so an A4 document becomes a landscape A4 sheet with two A5-sized pages on it. Choose A4, A3 or Letter explicitly when the printer's tray decides it.

What about a thick booklet?

The order assumes every sheet is nested inside the others and the stack is folded once in the middle. That works up to roughly ten sheets; beyond that the inner pages start to stick out at the fore edge and want trimming, so a long document is better split into several booklets.

Can I use a Word, Excel or PowerPoint file, or a photo, instead of a PDF?

Yes. Drop in a .docx, .xlsx or .pptx file or an image (JPG, PNG, WebP...) and it is turned into a PDF in your browser as it arrives - an image onto an A4 page - then handled like any other PDF; nothing is uploaded. The conversion is our own, so the result can differ slightly from Office's own PDF export: a font may be substituted and charts are left out. The file list shows a warning when something couldn't be carried over.
