How to put multiple PDF pages on one sheet (N-up)

N-up takes the pages of your PDF and lays several of them onto each output sheet — the classic "pages per sheet" layout for lecture handouts, slide printouts, and saving paper. AttachKit's N-up tool runs 100% in your browser: the PDF never leaves your device, and the pages are scaled as vectors (not re-rendered to images), so text stays crisp at any zoom.

Before you start

• You need a regular, unencrypted PDF. If the file is password-protected, remove the password first with the Unlock tool — N-up can't open an encrypted file.
• Files up to 100 MB are accepted. For anything larger, split it with the Pages tool first.
• N-up is a free tool with no account required.

Steps

1. Open N-up and drop your PDF onto the drop zone (or click it to pick a file).
2. Choose how many pages go on each sheet. Four options are offered as buttons: 2 per sheet, 4 per sheet, 6 per sheet, or 9 per sheet. The default is 2.
3. Click Create N-up PDF. The button shows "Laying out…" while it works; even long documents usually finish in a few seconds because nothing is uploaded.
4. A summary card confirms the result, for example "12 pages → 3 sheets (4 per sheet)".
5. Click Download N-up PDF. The file is saved next to your original name with a suffix, e.g. report-4up.pdf.
6. Not happy with the density? Click Try a different layout to go back and pick another pages-per-sheet option without re-dropping the file, or Lay out another to start over with a new PDF.

Layout options

Pages fill each sheet left to right, top to bottom. Every page is scaled to fit its grid cell with its aspect ratio preserved, centered, with a small margin so neighbors don't touch.

How the output is sized

• The output sheet keeps the visible size and orientation of the first page of your source PDF. A letter-size portrait document produces letter-size portrait sheets; if the first page displays as landscape, the sheets are landscape.
• Rotated pages (common in phone scans and faxes, where the PDF stores a rotation flag) are detected and counter-rotated, so they land upright in their cell instead of sideways and clipped.
• The layout is done with vector page embedding, not rasterization — text, lines, and images keep their original quality.

Result

You get a new PDF where each sheet contains 2, 4, 6 or 9 of the original pages in a clean grid, ready to print. The original file is untouched, and nothing was uploaded — the whole operation ran in your browser. After the download, a toast offers a one-click Fill it → handoff if you want to add fields or a signature to the result.
