## Description

Drop in photos and text, export a PDF, print and fold into your own zine. Now with a one-sheet zine fold and photo filters. Free, no ads, no data collection.

ZIN is a simple zine-making app. Drop your photos and text into templates, export a PDF, print it, fold it — and you have your own handmade booklet.

Great for:
- Making zines to sell or give away at doujinshi conventions and fan events
- Turning travel or event photos into a photo book
- Keeping a 4-panel comic diary
- Logging everyday records like a blood pressure diary

How it works:
1. Pick a page from 29 templates — covers, photo grids, articles, a 4-panel comic, ruled and graph notebook pages, a blood pressure log, back cover & colophon, and more
2. Add photos by shooting them on the spot or picking from your library. Drag to reposition, pinch to zoom
3. Choose a page background from 8 colors to set the mood
4. Export to PDF when you're done

Print it as a real booklet:
Export an A5 saddle-stitch booklet, imposed two-up on A4 sheets, with an adjustable gutter margin for the spine — right-bound layout is available for vertical-text works. Or just export plain A4 pages one at a time. A built-in print guide walks you through printing at a convenience store multi-copy machine, at home, or binding with paper and a stapler, plus guidance on how many pages you need and a warning if a photo's resolution is too low. Print it and fold it in half for a pocket-sized book.

One-sheet zine:
Turn a single sheet of A4 paper into an 8-page mini zine — print it, make a couple of cuts, and fold. The app shows you exactly where to cut and how to fold. Great for handouts or a zine-sized business card.

Photo filters:
Choose from three photo filters — mono, a rough photocopier look, and halftone dots — or apply mono to the whole book at once.

Custom templates:
Import your own drawings or scanned pages as JPG/PNG and combine them with the 29 built-in layouts — use them as a background, layer them as a frame on top of a photo, or drop them in as a ready-made page. A transparent PNG works great as a frame that sits naturally over your photo. Perfect for a one-of-a-kind cover or decorative border.

Available in Japanese, English, and Traditional Chinese.

Free, no ads, no account required. Everything — your photos, your text, your projects — stays on your device and is never sent to any server.

Turn your memories, your daily log, or your own creative expression into a book with ZIN.
