# Upload a Gatefold Brochure

If you designed a gatefold, you designed it to open like doors. Simplebooklet makes sure it does exactly that online.

|| Available on all plans.

## Why Upload Your Gatefold to Simplebooklet?

A gatefold is one of the most distinctive brochure formats — the dramatic reveal as the panels open is the whole point. Uploading it as a flat PDF loses that entirely. Simplebooklet digitally recreates the gatefold animation, preserving your design intent while giving you a shareable link and real-time analytics on who's opening it and when.

## How to Upload Your Gatefold

1. Go to your **Dashboard** and click **Upload File**.

2. Select **Upload File From Computer**.

3. Choose your gatefold PDF from your computer.

4. On the **Convert** page, set your **Title** — it'll form part of your custom URL.

5. Under **Choose A Page Flip**, select the **Gatefold** button. Then choose the option that matches your design:

   - **Gatefold** — opens like saloon doors with three fold lines. Best for PDFs designed from the center outwards.

   - **Double Gatefold** — adds an extra fold. Best for gatefolds with one panel intended as the front page.

   | Choosing any option other than a gatefold option will result in incorrect fold lines in your document.

6. Click **Convert**.

7. Your Simplebooklet loads in the **Preview** display. Flip through it to make sure the animation looks right, then start sharing or customize further.
