Use this interactive demo to learn how to turn off facing pages in Adobe InDesign.

‍

Here’s a simple and quick guide on how to turn off facing pages in Adobe InDesign:

‍

  1. To turn off Facing Pages in Adobe InDesign, go to the top menu and click ‘File.’
  2. Choose ‘Document Setup’ to access the Document Setup panel.
  3. Uncheck the Facing Pages box to make all pages single pages.
  4. Also, check ‘Preview’ to see how the changes apply to your project. Click ‘OK’ when you’re done.
  5. With that, you have successfully turned off Facing Pages.

📌 Why this matters

Turning off facing pages lets you create single-page layouts like posters, flyers, or web graphics without the spread constraints of book design. You'll gain precise control over individual page dimensions and avoid the awkward gutter spacing that facing pages automatically apply.

This becomes particularly valuable when designing materials that will be viewed digitally or printed as standalone pieces, where the traditional left-right page relationship doesn't apply and actually limits your creative freedom.
