Multiple Pages Per Sheet

Putting multiple pages per sheet — also known as N-up printing — shrinks several of your PDF's pages and arranges them side by side on one larger page. It's the quickest way to print 2, 4, or 6 pages on one sheet, turn a long document into a compact handout, or fit a whole section onto a single page for review. You save paper and ink, and the result stays tidy because every page is scaled to fit its own cell, never stretched or distorted.

Choose how many pages go on each sheet — 2, 4, 6, 8, 9, or 16 — then set the paper size (A4, A3, A5, US Letter, US Legal, or Tabloid), the orientation, the page order (across-then-down or down-then-across), a margin, and an optional thin border. A live preview shows the layout before you create it. Two-up prints side by side in landscape by default; the rest lay out in an even grid. Convert a single PDF or up to 30 files at once, and choose whether to combine them onto shared sheets as one PDF or make a separate multiple-pages-per-sheet PDF for each (bundled into a ZIP). You can also drop in images — JPG, PNG, and more — and they're arranged together onto the sheets as a single PDF, handy for photo contact sheets or fitting several pictures on one page. A Compression setting can shrink those photos: keep them at full quality, or switch to Strong to re-encode them as smaller JPEGs when a compact file matters more than fine detail. And when you need copies of one thing rather than different pages — an ID card, a name badge, a sheet of labels, or wallet-size photos — turn on “Repeat each page to fill the sheet” and every page or photo is duplicated to fill its own sheet.

The layout is baked straight into the new PDF, so it prints the same on any printer and looks right when you email or share it — you don't have to reset “pages per sheet” in each computer's print dialog. And because everything runs locally with pdf-lib, your files are never uploaded and never leave your device: there's no watermark, no sign-up, no cap on how many pages a document can hold, and nothing for a server to delete an hour later, because nothing was ever sent.
