BlockWalk ZineMaker · version…
Lay out a photo zine in the browser — free-form pages, real print geometry — and export a print-ready saddle-stitch PDF. Everything runs on your machine: no account, no uploads.
Designed & built by Matt Ciaglia · NeuralIO
A template sets the page size, the whole look, the page numbers and a starter set of blank pages in one move. Applying one replaces the current project — add your photos to its pages afterwards.

JPEG or PNG · 2000–3500 px on the long edge works best.
Larger files are resized automatically; over 80 MB are skipped.
Pages start in alphabetical order — drag or use the arrows to reorder.
Every module in zinemaker/docs/DESIGN-SYSTEM.md, rendered with the maker's own CSS.
States sit side by side: real state classes (.on, .active, .selected, disabled)
and forced hover replicas where a pointer can't be everywhere at once.
Status tags: Shipped in the product today · Library CSS defined, no shipped surface yet. Candidate modules from the gaps roadmap (G1–G9) are not shown — they are not built. Phone modules (N7–N9) carry the app's ≤767px CSS: view this sheet at a narrow width to see them styled.
Paper ground, hairline border, shadow — the deliberate exception.
Open body — controls live here.
Closed by default.
Open — chevron rotated, hairline under the head.
Frosted panel — paper-glass fill, blur, glass shadow. Sharp corners by law.
Card-form panels on the desk measure.
The card exception lives only in this room (and phone sheets).
