Plan Large-Print Handout Pages at Your Own Formatting — Free
Large print is a formatting choice with a page count attached. Divide each handout’s words by the words per page you actually produce, then hold the pages that needs against the pages its slot allows.
The proof surface
Contact-sheet page counts size a photographic print run. This sizes text handouts instead: the pages each document needs at your own large-print formatting, compared page by page with the slot it has to fit.
Why the flat version breaks
Assuming screen counts transfer to print
Widows, heading breaks and answer spacing can add pages that word counts alone never predict.
One words-per-page figure for every text size
A handout set at eighteen points is not the same page run as one set at sixteen; test each format separately.
Using the budget to force small type
Shrinking text below the reader’s needs defeats the point of large print; cut words or add pages instead.
How to work the large-print page packet
Use the word count of the final text — including headings and answer lines, which large print sets with generous spacing.
Sixteen- to eighteen-point text with wide spacing commonly lands between one hundred fifty and three hundred words a page. Use a figure from your own print tests, and say which printer and setting produced it.
A stapled slot, an exam booklet, or a stationery budget may cap pages differently per handout. The packet reports the worst shortfall and flags any handout over its slot.
Two thousand words at two hundred fifty a page fills eight pages exactly, so an eight-page slot has no room left for anything longer — trim the text, raise the words per page, or widen the slot.
What the large-print page packet replaces
| Question | Before | Visible working |
|---|---|---|
| Assuming screen counts transfer to print | Widows, heading breaks and answer spacing can add pages that word counts alone never predict. | Set your words per page |
| One words-per-page figure for every text size | A handout set at eighteen points is not the same page run as one set at sixteen; test each format separately. | Enter the pages each slot allows |
| Using the budget to force small type | Shrinking text below the reader’s needs defeats the point of large print; cut words or add pages instead. | Fix the longest run first |
A local arithmetic aid replaces hand calculation, not expert review. No paid AI service is needed.

FIRST-LOAD
Input is processed locally and a draft is saved automatically in this browser profile when storage is available. Reset to sample clears that draft; Pro history has its own clear button. A state link encodes your inputs in its URL: share only non-sensitive rows. Browser history, clipboard and anyone receiving the link may retain it. Optional AI use below leaves this device; it is not required.
Page-count arithmetic on the words, formatting and slots you supply. Not a readability assessment, typesetting specification or accessibility compliance ruling; agree large-print standards and formatting choices with the reader and your print service before the run.
Data note: Everything runs in this browser tab on the large-print page packet: your handout | word count | pages available stays on this device, nothing is uploaded, and the reading is rebuilt only when you press run.
Go deeper: the companion app files the same reading as a stapled evidence packet
The article demo above runs without limits. The companion app keeps a local history, exports the rows as CSV, prints the large-print page packet reading, and holds your drafts on this device — one free run, then $ 4 one-time for the layer that keeps filing.
The large-print page packet reading is complete for free. The optional $4 layer adds print, row CSV and the last five local reading summaries; it does not add hidden answers. Checkout is not configured yet; the article demo remains unlimited.

What this is built on
- Method: A stapled slot, an exam booklet, or a stationery budget may cap pages differently per handout. The packet reports the worst shortfall and flags any handout over its slot.
- All sample records are invented examples. The app does not fetch measurements, policies, files or personal records.
- Google’s official pricing page, fetched 2026-09-29, lists free-tier access including AI Studio. Optional formatting only; limits and availability can change. Free-tier content may be used to improve products. Never paste private records there.
Before: Widows, heading breaks and answer spacing can add pages that word counts alone never predict. After: the large-print page packet shows the working beside each named row so the reader can change the assumption and inspect the consequence.
Optional AI formatting, not calculation
For this large-print page packet, use the free AI Studio interface only if available to you, with no paid API key. Manual entry completes the same workflow for free. Supply only fictional or non-sensitive notes. Review its output against the source; never paste unresolved questions into the numeric rows.
Format my non-sensitive notes for a large-print page packet. Return plain rows only: handout | word count | pages available. Preserve supplied quantities exactly. Do not guess missing values; list questions separately. Do not calculate or add advice. I will check every row before pasting into the local tool.
Accepted schema: handout | word count | pages available. No AI response is executed as code.
