How It Works

Autoscale:Shrinks or enlarges your source page to fill each grid cell. Disable to place at original size: useful when your design already includes crop marks or bleeds.
Double sided:Generates matched front/back sheets for duplex printing. Page 1→front, page 2→back, with proper alignment. Odd-page documents get a trailing blank.
Center output on page:Distributes leftover space evenly around the grid. Without this, content is anchored to the top-left corner: often leaving uneven margins.
Preserve aspect ratio:Scales uniformly so pages are not distorted. The cell may not be completely filled, but proportions are maintained.

Options Guide
Paper Size

Sets the output sheet dimensions. This is the physical paper going through your printer or press.

Standard presets: Letter (8.5×11in), Legal (8.5×14in), Tabloid (11×17in), A4 (210×297mm), A3 (297×420mm). Landscape swaps width↔height. Lock icon links dimensions to preserve aspect ratio. Custom lets you enter any size in inches, mm, or points (1in = 72pt = 25.4mm).

White Space

Controls margins around the sheet edges and gutters between items in the grid.

Left margin = space from the left sheet edge to the first column. Top margin = space from the top edge to the first row. Horizontal gutter = gap between columns. Vertical gutter = gap between rows. All values are in your selected unit (inches/mm/points). 'Center output on page' distributes leftover space evenly instead of anchoring content to the top-left corner.

Printer's Marks

Adds trim guides and alignment marks outside the live area for accurate cutting and registration.

Crop marks: short lines at each corner showing where to trim. Center marks: crosshairs at sheet midpoints for front/back alignment on duplex jobs. Line length (default 0.43in/31pt): how long each mark line extends. Line thickness (default 0.014in/1pt): mark stroke weight. Line distance (default 0.139in/10pt): gap between the mark and the artwork edge. Four-color black: prints marks in C+M+Y+K for visibility on color proofs. Knockout: adds a white halo around marks so they show on dark backgrounds.

Bleeds

Extends artwork beyond the trim edge to prevent white strips after cutting.

Three modes: 'No bleeds' trims exactly at the page boundary. 'Pull from document' uses bleed info already embedded in the PDF (TrimBox/BleedBox metadata). 'Fixed' lets you manually set bleed on each side, typically 3mm (0.125in / 9pt) for commercial print, 1-2mm for digital. Bleed values define how far past the trim edge the artwork extends.

Layout

Controls fill pattern, columns, rows, scaling, and duplex pairing.

Z-pattern: fills left→right, top→bottom (standard Western reading order). S-pattern (snake): reverses alternating rows: useful when cutting strips horizontally and stacking. Double-sided: pairs page 1 (front) with page 2 (back) for duplex. Columns×Rows is auto-calculated from sheet/page dimensions: override manually for a specific count. Step-and-repeat fills the entire sheet with copies of each page before moving to the next.

Configurations & Variations
Landscape Orientation

Tick the Landscape checkbox to swap paper width and height. Useful when the card design is wider than it is tall (for example, standard 3.5 x 2 in business cards on a portrait sheet). The grid recalculates automatically and will often yield a different row/column count in landscape.

With Fixed Bleeds

Under the Bleeds section, select Fixed bleeds and enter 3 mm (0.125 in) on all four sides. This extends artwork past the trim edge so the guillotine does not leave a white strip. Use this when your source was delivered at trim size with no built-in bleed.

Double Sided

Tick Double sided in the Layout section. Page 1 becomes the front, page 2 becomes the back, and the output alternates front/back sheets with correct alignment for duplex. Standard setup for business cards, postcards, or any two-sided product.

Expert Tip

Pull bleeds from the document whenever possible. This preserves the designer's original bleed artwork and avoids synthetic artefacts. Set gutters to 0 for cards that share a cut line to get the most items per sheet.

If the source has no TrimBox or BleedBox metadata, switch to Fixed bleeds at 0.125 in / 3 mm.
