# Upload a Trifold Brochure

# Upload a Trifold Brochure

Turn your trifold PDF into a digital brochure that flips exactly the way it was designed to — panel by panel, just like the physical version.

|| Available on all plans.

## Why Upload Your Trifold to Simplebooklet?

Trifold brochures are built to tell a story that unfolds as you open them. A flat PDF kills that experience — it's static, hard to share, and impossible to track. Simplebooklet recreates the fold animation digitally, preserving the way your content was meant to be revealed, while giving you a single branded link you can share anywhere and analytics to see who's reading it.

## How to Upload Your Trifold

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

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

3. Choose your trifold PDF from your computer.

4. Once uploaded, you'll land on the **Convert** page. Give your booklet a **Title** — this becomes part of your custom URL. By default we pull it from your file metadata, but you can edit it here.

5. Under **Choose A Page Flip**, if your PDF is correctly formatted, the trifold options will appear:

   - **Trifold** — animates page flips for both the front and back of the brochure.

   - **No Fold Back** — displays the back of the document as a single flat page.

6. Click **Convert**.

   | **Folds can't be added or changed after upload** — make sure your PDF is set up correctly before converting.

7. Once complete, your Simplebooklet loads in the **Preview** display. Flip through it, choose a theme, start sharing, or explore the customization tools.

## Before You Upload — Get Your PDF Right

The trifold option only appears during upload when your PDF is correctly formatted. Your file must be **exactly 2 pages** with **3 panels per page** — one page for the inside, one for the outside.

If your trifold is split across multiple files, combine them into a single PDF first using a free tool like [ilovepdf.com](https://www.ilovepdf.com) before uploading.

If the trifold option doesn't appear, Simplebooklet will default to a standard layout — and fold options can't be added or changed after upload, so it's worth getting this right before you convert.

Need a template? **Canva** and **Adobe Express** both have trifold templates and direct Simplebooklet export built in.
