Resize PDF pages to A4 or Letter

A document assembled from several sources is rarely one size: a Letter report with an A4 appendix, a receipt scanned at whatever size the scanner chose. Printers handle that badly, and print shops ask for one paper size. This puts every page on the size you choose, in your browser, without the document leaving your device.

How it works

  1. 01Open the PDF. The panel lists every page size it contains.
  2. 02Choose the paper size and orientation.
  3. 03Choose whether small pages are enlarged or left at their actual size.
  4. 04Export.

Know what sizes you have first

The panel lists each distinct page size in the document and how many pages use it, the moment the file opens. Plenty of people discover here that a document they thought was all A4 has three Letter pages in the middle.

Scaled to fit, never cropped

Each page is placed on the new sheet as large as it fits without cutting anything off, and centred. A page with a different shape from the paper gets white margins rather than losing its edges. "Only shrink larger pages" leaves smaller pages at their real size, which keeps small print readable.

Orientation follows the page

With "Match each page", a landscape page goes on a landscape sheet the right way up, including pages that are only shown landscape because the file rotates them. You can also force every sheet to portrait or landscape.

What does not carry over

Each page is rebuilt onto a new sheet, and links and comments attached to the original page do not come with it. The panel warns you when the document has any; flatten it first if comments need to stay visible.

Questions

Why do the pages in the editor still show their old size?
The new sheets are built when you export, so the editor keeps showing each page as it is. The panel shows the size every page will have afterwards.
Does resizing reduce quality?
No. Pages are placed as vector content, so text and drawings stay sharp at the new size. Images are not re-encoded.
Is the file uploaded?
No. The document is resized by your own browser and never sent anywhere.
