N-Up PDF

Place multiple pages onto a single sheet in a grid arrangement. This reduces the number of printed pages by fitting 2, 4, 6, 8, 9, or 16 pages per sheet. The tool handles scaling, positioning, and optional page size configuration.

How It Works

1. Upload a PDF file.
2. Select the number of pages per sheet (the "N" value): 2, 4, 6, 8, 9, or 16.
3. Choose the output page size (default is A4) and orientation.
4. Optionally configure spacing, border color, and background color.
5. Click the process button. The tool scales each page and tiles them onto new sheets.

Features

• Grid layouts: 2-up, 4-up, 6-up, 8-up, 9-up, and 16-up

Options

Option	Description
Pages per sheet	Number of original pages to fit on each output page (2, 4, 6, 8, 9, 16)
Page size	Output sheet size (A4, Letter, Legal, etc.)
Orientation	Portrait or Landscape for the output sheet
Spacing	Gap in points between tiled pages

Use Cases

• Printing handouts with 4 slides per page to save paper
• Creating study sheets with multiple reference pages on one sheet
• Producing compact document archives for filing
• Generating thumbnail overview sheets of a long document

Tips

• Landscape orientation often works better for 2-up layouts, while portrait is usually best for 4-up and above.
• Increasing the spacing helps readability but reduces the available area for each tiled page.
• For the reverse operation (splitting one page into multiple), see Posterize PDF.
