Choose or create a template

Templates define how files are arranged on the sheet — sheet size, margins, spacing, etc. Use system templates or build your own and save it for reuse.

System templates cover common sizes out of the box (think Avery labels).
Create custom templates for customers, products or repetitive workflows.

Upload your files

Drag and drop PDF, JPG, or PNG files directly into your chosen template in the browser. For large batches, connect via FTP for bulk uploading.

Single merge — gives you a live visual preview; best for small batches
Bulk merge — no preview, but easier to manage high file volumes
Set print quantities by formatting filenames before upload, or enter them manually after uploading.
