Kids Zine Maker
Make a real zine from one sheet of paper. Pick photos, type your words, print it out and fold it up. Eight little pages. No glue, no staples, no grown-up required.
How it works
One sheet. Eight pages.
A zine is a tiny homemade book. Kids Zine Maker lays your eight pages out on one letter sheet, sideways, so a few folds and one snip turn it into a book.

Print it
Print it
Send it to the classroom printer with AirPrint, or save a PDF. One sheet per zine, and the top row comes out upside down on purpose.

Fold it
Fold it
Follow the six-step fold guide in the app. Hot dog, hamburger, snip, squish. You made a zine!
The print sheet
Dashed means fold. Red means snip.
Regular letter paper, sideways. Kids Zine Maker puts the pages in the right order and flips the top row so everything faces the right way once it's folded. Cut only across the two middle boxes and stop at the dashed lines.
Built for kids

Enough to make it yours. Not so many that picking takes all afternoon.
Buttons a thumb can find
Every control is at least 44 points tall and physically presses down when you tap it. Undo is always one tap away.
Photos stay on the device
No accounts, no sign-in, no cloud. Zines and the photos in them live on the device and go nowhere else. Read the privacy policy. It's short.
In the box
Three sample zines to take apart.
Kids Zine Maker comes with finished zines already in the library, so the first thing a kid does is poke at one and see how it's put together.

Got a story? Got a printer?
That's everything you need. The paper is probably in the drawer already.
