Highlights

Page order worked out for you

Two pages go on each landscape sheet, in the order that reads correctly after folding. No need to work out which pages sit next to each other.

Blank pages added

A booklet needs a page count that is a multiple of four; blank pages are added to make up the difference.

Local processing

The file is processed in your browser and is not uploaded to a server.

FAQ

Which print settings should I use?

Print on both sides and choose “flip on short edge”. Then fold the whole stack in the middle to get the booklet.

Why does the result have extra blank pages?

Each folded sheet holds four pages, two on each side, so the total has to be a multiple of four. Blank pages are added when the document falls short.
