What ImpoGrid does

The imposition jobs you do every day

Built around real press sheets and real binding methods, tested on real customer files.

▦

Cards, flyers & postcards

Fit the most copies on the sheet automatically, or choose columns and rows and let ImpoGrid shrink the artwork just enough to fit. Pack them tight or spread them evenly.

⇄

Front and back

Page 2 becomes the back plate, lined up behind each front. Step through every plate in the preview before you download.

123

Numbered tickets

Drag the stub and ticket numbers into place on your design. Sequential, in black or red, arranged so every stack is a complete pad after cutting.

▤

Booklets

Saddle-stitch page order, fold and crop marks, creep for thicker booklets and blank pages placed before the back cover.

📖

Books

16-page signatures, 8-up sheetwise with front and back plates. A5 on A2, B5 on 70 × 50 cm, with collating marks on the spine.

✂

True to the file

Uses the PDF's real trim and bleed. Fonts, CMYK and spot colours are kept exactly as designed, with no re-rendering.

Questions

Frequently asked

Can't find your answer? Email us.

Do I need to install anything?

No. ImpoGrid runs in a modern web browser (Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox) on Windows or Mac. Open app.impogrid.com and start working.

Are my customers' files uploaded anywhere?

No. The PDF is processed on your own computer, inside the browser. It is never sent to our servers.

What happens when the free month ends?

The app shows how many free days you have left at the top of the screen. When the month ends, choose monthly or yearly to keep going. If you don't subscribe, your account simply pauses; nothing is charged automatically.

Will the colours and fonts change?

No. ImpoGrid places the original PDF pages on the sheet without converting them, so fonts, CMYK values and spot colours stay exactly as the designer made them.

My file has no bleed. Can I still use it?

Yes. ImpoGrid tells you when a file has no bleed or less than you asked for, and uses what the file has. It never pretends bleed exists.

Which paper sizes are supported?

A4, A3, SRA3, A2, 61 × 43, 64 × 45, 70 × 50, B2 and 70 × 100 cm today, with your own margin and gripper. Custom sheet sizes are coming soon.

Can I cancel?

Yes, anytime. Monthly plans stop at the end of the paid month; yearly plans run until the end of the paid year.
