- Zine makers preparing PDFs for printing
- Worth noticing
- Booklet mode adds filler pages to reach multiples of four; mini-zines place eight pages on one sheet.
Field notes
Users can choose A4, A3, A5, Letter, or Tabloid, adjust fit versus crop, reorder pages, and control filler placement, margins, creep, and fold marks. For booklets, folded sheets yield four pages per sheet, so the tool adds blank pages when needed; mini-zines arrange eight pages on one single-sided sheet. The page says processing and export run in the browser and that the loaded app works offline.
