Welcome to a specialized layout engine built for sequencing 8-page folding photo zines. Everything processes locally on your computer!no servers, no compressions, no crashes.
Project Management
Save & Load (.json): Never lose your work. Click "Save" to download your raw workspace file. You can load this exact file back into the tool tomorrow to pick up right where you left off.
Photography & Layers
Non-Destructive Cropping: Select a photo and click "Crop Image." Adjust the red dashed box to frame your shot, then click "Apply Crop." You can always un-crop later without losing original pixel quality.
Layer Stack: Use the right-hand sidebar to see all your objects. Click the ↑ and ↓ arrows to stack text over images, or the ✕ to delete.
Layout & Alignment
The Upside-Down Row: Because of how a single-sheet zine folds, the top row of pages (Pages 1, 2, 3, 4) must be printed upside down. Select your photos/text on the top row and click Rotate 180°.
Magnetic Snapping: Objects will automatically snap to the blue fold guides and page centers. Toggle this off in the bottom-left if you want free-form placement.
Custom Typography
Upload Fonts: Don't want to use the default fonts? Click "Upload Custom Font" and select any .ttf or .otf file from your hard drive to instantly load it into your design.
Preview & Export
3D Flip Preview: Confused by the layout? Click this to generate a virtual folding book. It proves your sequencing is correct before you waste printer ink.
Export Print PDF: Generates a high-resolution, 300dpi file ready for the print lab. The blue folding guides are automatically hidden in the final PDF.
