1 min read·25 July 2026

2-up, 4-up, 9-up: with PDFrust's NUp tool you shrink multiple PDF pages into thumbnails and place them on one sheet of paper. Ideal for handouts, flashcards, and saving paper.

What is NUp?

NUp (N per sheet) is a print option where multiple pages from a document are reduced and placed side by side on one sheet. 2-up: 2 pages side by side on A4. 4-up: 4 pages (2×2 grid) on A4. 9-up: 9 pages on A4 — useful for a thumbnail overview of a presentation.
