N-up PDF (2-up, 4-up)

Save paper with N-up printing

Printing slides or lecture notes one per page uses a lot of paper and makes them awkward to flip through. N-up printing shrinks several pages onto one sheet. Your printer can do this too, but this tool gives you the result as a PDF — easy to send to a print shop, share, or check on your phone. Pages are scaled as vectors, so text stays crisp even when small.

How many per sheet?

• 2 — portrait documents go side by side on landscape A4; landscape slides go top and bottom on portrait A4. Text ends up about 70% of its original size, still easy to read.
• 4 — four landscape slides in a 2×2 grid: the classic lecture-handout layout.
• 6 or 8 — good for review sheets or seeing the whole flow at a glance. Text gets small, so check the preview first.

Order and look

“Across, then down” fills left to right, then the next row (Z). “Down, then across” fills top to bottom, then the next column (N). Borders make page edges clear, and wider margins leave room for notes. The sheet orientation is chosen automatically from the original, or you can set it. Rotated pages are placed the way they appear.

Add page numbers first (Add Page Numbers to PDF) so each small page is easy to find, and use Merge PDF first if you want to combine several files. Nothing is uploaded.
