NOTHING TO INSTALL · OPEN IT IN THE BROWSER
HOW IT WORKS · TWO WAYS IN
Drop the file, check the parts, run it.
01
Drop the file
Simply upload a multi-page PDF, or an Adobe Illustrator file and let Nestify automatically identify each individual part and handle the entire nesting process for you. From artwork to a print-ready layout.
02
See the parts
Every page, or every object split out of the .ai file, becomes a part with a thumbnail and an extraction status. Fix or exclude anything that did not read cleanly before you run.
03
Run and export
Set the material width, the minimum gap and the nesting effort. Watch the sheet tighten, then export a print-ready sheet PDF.
Or never open the app at all.
HOTFOLDERFor an even more automated workflow, hotfolders lets you connect your cloud storage and create dedicated input and output folders. Simply drop your files in the input folder and nestify automatically processes, nests and delivers the finished files to the output folder.

The nested sheet appears
Nestify picks the file up, nests it with your saved settings and writes the sheet PDF to the output folder.
SETTINGS
Set it once. The shop runs on it.
Media, cut safety, export naming and nesting options live in one panel. Open one to see the real screen.
Save the widths you actually run — MX decals at 1340 mm, a narrower gloss roll, whatever the shop keeps on the shelf. Pick one and every job nests to that width.
Set the minimum distance between cut lines. It cannot go below 1 mm, and no sheet that breaks it can be exported. The knife never reaches the neighbour's print.
Decide whether the printer creates the cut file, add a running number, append or replace words in the export title. The naming your RIP expects, without renaming by hand.
Choose how many layout attempts run in parallel. They search at the same time and the tightest one is kept, so more tries means a tighter sheet, not a longer wait.
Connect Dropbox or OneDrive — or both. Google Drive is coming soon. Files dropped in the input folder are picked up within about five minutes, nested at the chosen width and delivered to the output folder.
HONEST COMPARISON
Nestify, manual placement, and the licensed tool.
The licensed tools are good software. We are cheaper, faster to learn, and we run on the machine you already have.
| NESTIFY | MANUAL PLACEMENT | LICENSED TOOL | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sheet length on the same job | Packed to the material limit | Depends on who placed it | Comparable |
| Time from file to sheet | Minutes, unattended | 30–90 min of manual work | Minutes |
| Cost model | €7 per nest in packs of 10, or €109 a month | Operator hours | High annual licence |
| Where files are processed | Cloud | Your machine | Your machine |
| CutContour handling | Preserved as spot colour | Preserved if nobody flattens it | Preserved |
| Minimum gap enforcement | Hard limit, blocks export | Operator judgement | Usually a warning |
| Learning curve | Fast | None, but slow | Training required |
SAVINGS CALCULATOR
What does a shorter sheet mean per month?
Set your own numbers. The sheet reduction is the one figure we cannot know for your jobs — it depends on your parts, so treat the default as a placeholder and put in what you measure.

FAQ
The questions we actually get.
- Does it work with our RIP?
- Nestify exports a standard PDF with the cut path as a named spot colour. Anything that reads your current sheet PDFs reads this one. Nothing is installed next to your RIP.
- Which material widths are supported?
- Any width you type in. The default is 1340 mm roll; narrower and wider rolls are just a number in the field.
- What happens to bleed?
- Bleed travels with the part. Nestify measures the cut path and keeps your minimum gap between cut paths, so overlapping bleed is only ever a print question, never a knife question.
- What do the files have to look like?
- A PDF with one decal per page, or an Illustrator file — Nestify splits the .ai into separate parts before nesting. Either way the cut path has to be a spot colour: CutContour by default, and you can name your own. Parts that fail extraction are listed before you run, so nothing silently disappears.
- Does it run offline?
- You need a browser and internet connection in order to do a manual nest. Everything is nested on our servers.
