Fit bookmarks and cards onto a home printer sheet

Choose finished dimensions, printer margins, gutters and sensible trim positions.

Use the finished cut size

A 50 × 150 mm bookmark is a finished rectangle, not the size of a surrounding image file. The tool places that rectangle within the printable sheet. Enter an actual margin supported by your printer and leave enough space between pieces to make cutting practical. The 6 mm example gutter leaves 3 mm on either side of a centered cut mark.

Choose how artwork fits

Fit whole image preserves the complete image and can leave blank bands when its shape differs from the finished item. Fill item preserves proportions while cropping the edges. Neither mode stretches the image. Keep essential text away from the trim line because this tool does not invent a production bleed or certify a print shop specification. The on-screen sheet uses the same fit choice as the PDF.

Use a test before increasing quantity

Automatic rotation compares two regular-grid orientations and uses the one with more positions. It does not solve every possible mixed-rotation packing arrangement. The PDF contains consecutive front/back page pairs for every physical sheet. A partially filled final sheet is included. Print the first pair, cut a sample, and check the front/back relationship before running the remaining sheets.
