Zine Maker Online – Free Page Layout Editor

Design multi-page zines, mini-books, and folded pamphlets right in your browser. Add text, images, and shapes — then download a print-ready PDF. No account required, no files leave your device.

How it works

  1. Choose a page size — A5, B5, half-fold, quarter-fold, US Letter, or A4. Switch orientation anytime.
  2. Add pages using the sidebar panel. Click any thumbnail to jump between pages. Each page is a separate canvas layer.
  3. Place content — click + Text to type, ▭ Rectangle / ◯ Circle for shapes, or 🖼 Image to load a photo from your device. Drag, resize, and rotate freely.
  4. Style it — select any object and use the font-size input and color picker in the toolbar to change text size and fill color.
  5. Export PDF — click ⬇ Export PDF. Each page is rasterised to PNG, then assembled into a single PDF using pdf-lib. Everything runs in the browser; nothing is uploaded.

Frequently asked questions

What page sizes work best for zines?
The most common zine format is half-fold US Letter: you print two pages per sheet (side by side on Letter paper), then fold and staple down the middle. This gives you a small, booklet-sized zine. A5 is the near-equivalent metric format. Quarter-fold gives you a tiny 4-panel mini-zine from a single sheet. Pick the format your local print shop can handle, or the one that fits your paper cutter.
Does this tool upload my images or content anywhere?
No. All processing happens entirely inside your browser using the Fabric.js canvas library and pdf-lib. Your images, text, and the generated PDF never leave your device. There is no server, no account, and no storage — refreshing the page will clear your work, so export your PDF before closing the tab.
How do I print the exported PDF as a folded zine?
For a half-fold zine, open the PDF in your printer dialog and choose Multiple pages per sheet → 2 per sheet (sometimes called "booklet" mode). Fold the printed sheet in half and staple along the spine. For a quarter-fold, print at 100% scale, then fold the sheet in half twice. Remember to arrange pages in the correct reading order when you design them — page 1 should be the front cover, page 2 the inside-front, and so on.
