About Previewfold
A tool for people who sell printable resources: teacher resources, planners, party printables. Choose pages from the PDF you sell, and get the preview and the images a listing needs, in your own brand.
Why we made it
Every listing of a printable needs the same set of pictures: a watermarked preview so buyers can judge the resource, a square cover for search results, a few more thumbnails, and tall pins to share. Most sellers build them by hand for every listing, filling a design template or a slide deck page by page, or use a desktop program that runs on one kind of computer. It is an hour or two of copying and lining up for each product, and it is easy to export a preview with the text still selectable or a file too large to upload.
We built Previewfold to do that one job in one pass. You choose the pages, and your saved brand kit does the rest by fixed rules, the same way for every listing.
What it does
It reads a PDF of up to 200 pages in your browser, shows every page as a tile, and lets you choose and order up to 12. From those it makes a preview PDF of watermarked page pictures under a size you set, a cover thumbnail and page thumbnails in 3 sizes, and 3 pin layouts, in your colours, title font and logo, with the contrast of every line checked. The rules are on how it works, current marketplace sizes are on image sizes, and the guides cover choosing preview pages, pins that read small and keeping one brand kit.
How it treats your work
Your PDF is your product, so it never leaves your device. It is read and laid out in the browser, nothing is uploaded, there is no account, and the files go straight to your downloads. Brand kits and listings are saved in this browser so the next listing takes minutes, and a backup file keeps a copy you control.
Offline and on your phone
After one visit with a connection, the maker and the printables work offline, and the browser's menu can install Previewfold as an app. On an iPhone or iPad: open the site in Safari, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen.
What it is not
- Not a writer or an illustrator. Previewfold lays out your own pages. It does not write, draw or generate anything.
- Not a design suite. Three frame styles, three title fonts and your colours, chosen to read at thumbnail size.
- Not a marketplace tool. It does not upload or post; you do, under each marketplace's own rules.
- Not a lock. A watermark makes a preview unattractive to copy, not impossible.
