## About

Multiple Pages per Sheet (N-up) arranges 2, 4, or 6 PDF pages onto a single sheet in reading order — the classic handout layout for lectures, slide decks, and draft reviews. You choose the layout and sheet size; the tool scales each page proportionally, adds consistent gutters, and keeps the original page order left-to-right, top-to-bottom. A 60-slide deck becomes 10 sheets at 6-up, saving paper, ink, and shipping weight. Processing runs on our servers with no signup.

## FAQ

### What does 4-up mean?

4-up places four PDF pages on one sheet in a 2×2 grid, in the original reading order. 2-up makes two landscape pages share a portrait sheet; 6-up uses a 2×3 grid.

### Will the text still be readable at 6-up?

For full-page documents, 2-up and 4-up stay comfortably readable on A4. 6-up is best for slides or large-format pages.

### Does the page order change?

No. Pages are placed left-to-right, top-to-bottom exactly in the original document order.

### Can I choose the sheet size?

Yes — pick A4 or Letter for the combined sheet; pages are scaled to fit each cell.
