Questions

Is it free to make a PDF booklet?

Yes. It is free with no sign-up and no watermark. The free plan covers up to 50 tasks a day; Pro removes every limit.

Do you upload my files?

No. The tool runs inside your browser using WebAssembly. Your file never leaves your device, and it still works with Wi-Fi turned off.

Does it work on my phone?

Yes. It works in Chrome, Safari, Edge and Firefox on Android, iPhone, Windows, Mac and Linux.

How do I print it?

Print all pages double-sided with "flip on short edge" (sometimes called short-edge binding). Keep the sheets in order, fold the stack in half and staple along the fold.

Why were blank pages added?

A folded sheet holds 4 pages, so a booklet needs a multiple of 4 pages. Blank pages are added at the end.
