PDF Page Resize

Fit every page of a PDF onto A4, Letter, A3, A5 and more — scaled to fit, aspect ratio preserved, centered. Good for printing drafts.

Choose a PDF

Every page is scaled to fit, aspect ratio preserved, centered. Nothing is cropped.

Resized PDF

Pages land on the target size with content centered — layout untouched.

Your file is never sent to a server. It is read and processed by your own browser, and the results are not stored.

How to use it

  1. Choose a PDF.
  2. Pick the target paper size and an optional margin.
  3. Resize and download the repacked document.

Limits worth knowing

  • Pages are scaled and centered, never stretched or cropped.
  • Embedded pages keep their vector content; output quality matches the input.
  • The output uses the target size even if all input pages were already that size — pages always land on the chosen target.
  • Encrypted PDFs are refused.

Why resize instead of reprint

Print dialogs will “shrink to fit” for you, but they do it as a print job: nothing changes in the document, and every future print has to remember the setting. This tool changes the document itself: once every page is on A4, any print is correct by default.

It also fixes scanned A3 boards into filing-friendly A4, and letter-size US content into A4 for the European office — same aspect ratio, centered, with margins.

Margins and aspect

The margin is subtracted from the target before the page is scaled into the remaining area. With margin 0 the page touches the edges; with the default 36 pt (half an inch) the result prints cleanly on anything.

Frequently asked questions

Does PDF Page Resize upload my files to any server?

No. PDF Page Resize runs in your browser, and the file is read there rather than sent to a server for processing. Our host still sees ordinary page-request metadata, which is described on the privacy page.

Is PDF Page Resize free to use?

Yes, PDF Page Resize is free, with no paid tier, no account, and no watermark added to your output. The limits are technical rather than commercial: file size, page count and supported formats are listed on this page.

What file formats and sizes are supported?

PDF Page Resize supports .pdf files up to 100MB directly in your browser.

Does it crop anything?

No. “Fit” preserves the whole page: the original is scaled down until it fits inside the target with a configurable margin, and centered. Excess space stays blank.

What about mixed-size documents?

Every page is scaled independently to the same target — that is the point of the tool. A3 pages land on A4, tiny scans land on A4, all readable.

Does the text stay selectable?

The original page is embedded as an object in the new document, so its text, vectors and images are preserved in full fidelity — unlike a rasterization.

Is my file uploaded?

No. The resize runs in this tab; nothing leaves your device.
