See it before you print.
Collect every print in one preview stack.
Deste is a batch printing and print-preview app for Windows — the Print Stack. Print to Deste from any app; your print collects in a preview stack before it ever hits paper. Organize it, drop the pages you don't need, print double-sided and economically, or save it all as one PDF. Native Rust, a software-rendered Slint UI, and pdfium — no account, no network.
A printer that sees the job before it hits paper.
Deste is the Print Stack — a stack of paper (that's what "Deste" means in Turkish). It adds itself to Windows as a native IPP printer; when you print to it from any app, the job is captured as a PDF instead of going straight to paper, and collects in the panel as a document stack.
It's built in Rust with a software-rendered Slint UI and a real PDF engine (pdfium). Capture, preview, and printing all run entirely on your machine — no cloud, no account.
Print to Deste, organize the stack, drop the pages you don't need — then print double-sided and economically, or save it all as one PDF.
Everything a print deserves
One print gesture, then a full toolkit for what happens before it hits paper.
Capture from any app
Deste adds itself to Windows as a native printer. Word, your browser, a PDF viewer — it doesn't matter; hit Print, pick Deste, and the job lands in the panel before it touches paper.
Stacks and All Pages views
See incoming jobs document-by-document as a Stacks view, or page-by-page as All Pages. Switch between the two with one click.
Large preview
Open any page in a full-screen overlay preview. See everything full-size and confirm it's right before you print.
Remove pages + drag to reorder
Drop the pages you don't need and reorder the rest by drag-and-drop. Keep only the pages you actually want to print.
Copies, double-sided, eco
Copy count, double-sided (long or short edge), eco (3 levels), and black-and-white options. Print without wasting paper or toner.
Vector printing
With no filter applied, text and vectors stay sharp — Deste sends the job to the printer as vector, without rasterizing it.
Compress PDFs
Shrink a PDF while its text stays searchable. Smart only re-encodes images; Aggressive compresses them harder. Pick a per-page strength of 1–5 and see the size with a before/after preview.
History & re-queue
Deleted or cleared documents are archived to History — never lost for good. Preview any of them and re-queue it in one click to bring it back to the print list.
Dark mode
Switch the whole interface to dark colors from Settings. An easy-on-the-eyes theme is a single click away.
Save as PDF
Merge your selected pages into a single PDF file. The easy way to collect jobs from different apps into one document.
Windows print dialog
Need more control? Hand the job off to the classic Windows print dialog anytime and reach every driver-specific option.
System tray + autostart
Deste waits quietly in the system tray and can start automatically at login — the moment you print, the panel is ready.
Fully local & private
Everything happens on your machine: capture, preview, and print. The printer only runs on localhost — no network, no cloud, no account.
Print, collect, organize, print
Deste adds itself to Windows as a native IPP printer (localhost:631). In the app you want to print from, pick Deste as the printer; the rest happens in the panel. Here's a typical print's journey through Deste.
Local by default. Open by license.
Capture, preview, and printing happen entirely on your computer. The virtual printer only listens on localhost — the documents you print are never sent anywhere or tied to any account. And because every job collects in a preview stack first, dropping the pages you don't need also saves paper and toner.
localhost only
Deste runs the virtual printer only on localhost:631. Capture and preview never leave your computer.
No network, no cloud
Jobs aren't uploaded to a cloud or sent to a server. Everything runs on your own machine, offline.
No account
No sign-up, no login, no email. Download it, install it, print — nothing else required.
See it before you print
Every job collects in a preview stack first. Check the pages and drop what you don't need to save paper and toner.

Built by ReviseTouch
Deste is a free, open-source app from ReviseTouch — we build developer tools and AI products. It's the same team and the same standards behind everything on our site: native performance, honest privacy defaults, and tools we use ourselves every day.
See what else we buildWindows today. Core is cross-platform.
Deste is Windows-only right now because the capture layer (the virtual IPP printer), the tray, and printing use Windows-specific paths. The UI (Slint) and the PDF engine (pdfium) are already cross-platform, so a capture layer for other platforms is on the roadmap.
Quality over savings
When no filter is applied, Deste sends the job to the printer as vector, so text and lines stay sharp. When eco or black-and-white is needed, the right conversion kicks in.
