Shrink several PDF pages onto a single sheet: 2-up, 4-up, 6-up or 9-up. The tool picks the row and column layout that fits the sheet best, scales each page proportionally and centres it in its cell. Great for handouts, review copies and reference material — less paper, easier to carry. Choose the output sheet (same as the source or A4 portrait/landscape), margins, gaps, and an optional thin border around each page. Everything runs locally and files are never uploaded.

## How to use

## FAQ

### Is the text still selectable afterwards?

Yes. Pages are embedded as vectors rather than rasterised, so text remains selectable and searchable — just smaller.

### How is this different from my printer’s pages-per-sheet option?

The result is similar, but here you get a real PDF file you can preview, share or archive, independent of any particular printer driver.

### Are my files or data uploaded?

No. Everything runs locally in your browser with no network upload, and is discarded when you close the page.

### Do I need to sign up or pay?

No. The site is completely free, needs no account and has no usage limits.
