A SMALL TOOL WITH ONE JOB

About Foliofold.

Foliofold helps you inspect page pairings for nested, single-fold booklets before committing to a print run.

It calculates four-page padding, optional separate groups, outer-to-inner sheet order, left/right binding positions and whole-job copy totals. The guide explains the arithmetic with four-, eight-, thirteen- and twenty-page examples.

It does not upload or rearrange files, generate an imposed PDF, determine a printer’s duplex settings, size paper, add bleed or recommend binding construction. All diagrams are position checks, not production-ready artwork.

Free to use

There is no subscription, checkout or account. The calculator is part of an independently operated collection of free planning tools. Each site focuses on one calculation so its assumptions stay easy to inspect.

How the tool is maintained

The calculation method is described in the worked guide. Automated checks cover conversion factors, example results and invalid inputs. A model can still miss a practical detail; use the guide to decide whether its assumptions fit your situation.

Corrections and questions

For a reproducible calculation problem or a privacy enquiry, use our shared portfolio contact. Include the inputs and expected result. No telephone call is needed.
