A tip: downloads are quickest in Chrome. Safari works, it's just slower.

One PDF, already arranged onto double-sided sheets in fold order. Print double-sided, fold the stack in half, staple. No Booklet setting needed.

The same zine printed twice on one sheet, at half the size (4.25 x 5.5"). Print double-sided, cut across the middle, fold each half. You get two.

A zip of clean image pages, photos only, no text, one per page in order. Drop them into any Canva size and make it yours.

Numbered page images, sized for the web so your page stays quick to load. Drop them onto a page on your site. A Flip Book that turns them, page by page, is coming soon.

How to print your zine

Open the PDF and choose Print.
Print double-sided. When asked which edge to flip, choose short edge (sometimes 'flip on short side'). This keeps the back of every sheet the right way up.
Leave Booklet OFF, and set scale to 100% or Actual size, not Fit to page. Zine Studio has already arranged the pages, so it prints like a normal document.
Stack the sheets in the order they printed, fold the whole stack in half down the centre, and staple twice along the fold.

How to use the Canva photos

Unzip the file. Inside are your pages as images, named page-01, page-02, in order.
In Canva, start a design and drag the images in. Each one is a full page.
Add your own titles, words and touches on top. Nothing is locked.
