N-up PDF
Combine multiple pages per sheet — 2-up or 4-up layout for printing handouts and slide decks. Runs in your browser.
About this tool
Arrange multiple PDF pages onto a single sheet in a grid layout. Choose 2-up (2 pages side by side, ideal for printing 2 slides per handout page) or 4-up (4 pages in a 2×2 grid, ideal for compact slide decks or note-taking sheets). Each page is scaled proportionally to fit within its cell. The output uses the same page size as the input — usually Letter or A4 — with pages arranged in reading order. Uses pdf-lib's embedPage and drawPage API entirely in your browser. No upload, no sign-up, no watermark.

Print efficiently with N-up layouts
N-up printing puts multiple pages on each printed sheet, saving paper and creating compact handouts. 2-up is ideal for printing presentation slides (2 per page) with space for notes. 4-up creates a dense grid useful for reference sheets. This tool pre-arranges pages so any PDF reader prints them correctly.
Frequently asked questions
Is this safe? Does it upload my PDF?+
No upload whatsoever. Processing runs entirely in your browser using pdf-lib. Your PDF never leaves your device.
What is the maximum file size?+
PDFs up to 100 MB are accepted. Processing many pages into N-up format may be slower on mobile.
Does it work offline?+
After the page has loaded once, yes — pdf-lib is cached and N-up processing runs locally.
Will this work on iPhone / iPad?+
Yes, on modern iOS Safari. Processing large PDFs may be slower.
What do 2-up and 4-up mean?+
2-up places 2 pages side-by-side on each output sheet, halving the page count. 4-up places 4 pages in a 2×2 grid, quartering the page count. Both are common for printing handouts or slide decks.
Is page content scaled?+
Yes — each page is scaled proportionally to fit within its cell while maintaining aspect ratio.
