Handout templates
Free handout templates for workshops, classes, conferences and training. Worksheets, cheat sheets, manuals and brochures you can edit page by page.
A handout is used rather than read: someone writes on it, checks it later, or passes it to a colleague. That changes the design — generous space to write, grouping that matches how the session actually runs, and no paragraph that only makes sense alongside a speaker. Six templates cover class worksheets, conference handouts, training manuals, engagement handouts, brochures and cheat sheets.

Which one to pick
Choose the worksheet when participants will write on it, the cheat sheet when they need to look something up later, and the manual when the session is a process they will repeat without you. Conference handouts work best as a summary of the talk plus references.
Frequently asked questions
- What makes a handout different from a slide deck?
- A deck supports a speaker; a handout stands alone. If it only makes sense while someone is talking, it belongs in the deck.
- Should handouts be one page or two?
- One page for worksheets and cheat sheets, because both sides stay visible at once. Longer material is better as a manual.
- Can I add checkboxes and writing lines?
