6-Up Presentation Handouts Grid - Free Online Browser Tool

Arranges 6 presentation slides per page (2 columns x 3 rows) with slide borders for compact printing.

The six-up handout is the classic conference format: six slides on one page in a 2-column, 3-row grid, each with a thin border so attendees can see where one slide ends and the next begins while they scribble notes in the gaps.

  4. Download the handout

    Save the PDF and print it three-up-per-page style — all six slides on a single side of paper.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are borders drawn around each slide?

So attendees can see the slide boundaries while writing. Without them the six images run together and note-taking becomes guesswork.

How many sheets will a 30-slide deck produce?

Five sheets, since each one holds six slides. The final sheet holds however many remain and leaves the unused cells blank.

Are the slides readable at this size?

They are legible enough for reference and annotation, which is the point of a handout, but far too small to read from. Use the deck itself for presenting.

What aspect ratio should the slides be?

The tool fits whatever ratio your slides use into each grid cell without distortion, so both 4:3 and 16:9 decks work.

Can I get three lines between slides for notes?

The grid leaves margins around each slide that serve as note space. For more room, print at a larger sheet size such as A3.
