Booklet maker: turn a PDF into fold-ready spreads
The booklet tool reorders your PDF pages into saddle-stitch printer spreads: print duplex, fold the stack in half, staple the spine, and page 1 ends up on the front. Ideal for zines, event programs, manuals, and church bulletins.
Everything runs locally in your browser using client-side PDF processing — your file is never uploaded to a server. Page counts that are not a multiple of four are padded with blank pages automatically so the fold order stays correct.
The free tier includes 3 total downloads with no cooldown timers and no account required; paid plans unlock unlimited exports.
How it works
- Upload your PDF — processing stays in your browser.
- Choose the Booklet tool and preview the reordered spreads.
- Export, print duplex (flip on short edge), fold, and staple.
Frequently asked questions
How do I print a PDF as a booklet?
Use the booklet tool to impose your pages into printer spreads, then print the exported PDF double-sided flipping on the short edge. Fold the printed stack in half and staple along the fold.
What if my PDF page count is not a multiple of 4?
SheetReady pads the document with blank pages automatically so the saddle-stitch ordering works out. The blanks end up near the back of the booklet.
Do I need to create an account to make a booklet?
No. There is no signup — open the tool, drop in a PDF, and export. The free tier includes 3 downloads.
