Put several PDF pages on one sheet

Print two slides per page, make a handout with nine pages on a sheet, or review a long document at a glance. This tool arranges the pages of your PDF into a grid on new sheets, scaled to fit. It all happens in your browser, so your document is not uploaded.

Features

  • 2 to 16 pages per sheet

    Choose 2, 4, 6, 8, 9 or 16 pages per sheet. The grid adapts to portrait or landscape sheets.

  • A4, Letter or the size of page 1

    Pick the sheet size you print on, or keep the size of the first page. Automatic orientation chooses portrait or landscape, whichever makes the pages larger.

  • Order, margins and frames

    Fill the sheet across then down, or down then across. Set the margin and the gap between pages, and draw a thin frame around each page if you like.

  • Mixed and rotated pages

    Every page is scaled to fit its cell without distortion, including pages of different sizes and pages that are rotated in the PDF. Text and vector graphics stay sharp.

  • Batch processing

    Arrange up to 20 PDFs in one run and download them separately or as a ZIP.

The result is a new PDF with fewer, larger sheets.

Limits and things to know

  • Pages become smaller in proportion to the number per sheet. Sixteen to a sheet is only readable for large print.
  • Links, bookmarks and form fields of the original pages are not carried over; the pages are placed as they look.
  • Booklet imposition (printing a folded booklet in the right page order) is not included.
  • Password-protected PDFs are not supported. Remove the password first.
  • Up to 20 PDFs, 100 MB each and 300 MB in total. Damaged PDFs are reported by name.

Privacy and processing

The PDF is read and rebuilt in your browser with a PDF library. Your file is not sent to FilesKit, which has no server that receives files.

Common uses

  • Save paper when printing

    Print four pages of a long report on each sheet and use a quarter of the paper.

  • Make handouts from slides

    Put six or nine slides on a page for an audience to take notes beside.

  • Review many pages at once

    See the layout of a whole document on a few sheets, such as the pages of a design or a scan.

  • Compare pages side by side

    Lay out two pages next to each other on one landscape sheet.

How this differs from other approaches

Printer drivers can print several pages per sheet but only while printing, and online services upload your file. Desktop PDF editors offer booklet imposition and custom grids. FilesKit makes a new PDF with the pages arranged, on your own device.

Frequently asked questions

Is my PDF uploaded?

No. The pages are arranged in your browser and FilesKit has no server that receives your files.

Will the text stay sharp?

Yes. The original pages are placed as scaled copies of their content, not as pictures, so text and vector graphics stay sharp at any zoom.

Can I make a folded booklet?

Not yet. This tool places pages in reading order; a booklet needs a special page order that is not included.

Why is my sheet landscape?

Automatic orientation picks the sheet direction that makes the pages larger. Choose portrait or landscape yourself to override it.

Will the original file change?

No. You download a new file with the number of pages per sheet added to its name, and your original stays as it was.
