How I Create Mini Zines

  1. I use Canva to make my designs. I start by creating a "custom size" design at 2.75 inches width and 4.25 inches height. You should only have 8 pages.
  2. Create your design however you want, as long as you end up with a flattened PDF that has 8 pages.
  3. Once I have a mini zine, I use an online tool called pdfimpose.it to impose my PDF into the mini-zine pattern. On their webpage:
  4. Now you print! Most standard printers don't support borderless printing, so beware of that. I just cut off any white margins if needed with a paper trimmer.
  5. The final step is to fold and cut your zine! Click here for a resource if you don't know how to do this part.
