PDF Page Size Inspector

See every page size in a PDF: points, millimetres, paper match, orientation and rotation — plus a mixed-size warning where it helps.

How to read this

Sizes are in PDF points (1/72 inch). Millimetres are the honest physical size. “Paper” is a ±2 pt match against common sizes; anything else is reported as custom.

Rotation is applied to the reported orientation — a 90°-turned A4 reads as landscape.

Resize with the PDF Page Resize tool if the report shows a mixed document.

How to use it

  1. Choose a PDF.
  2. Read the per-page table: size, paper match, orientation and rotation.
  3. Copy the report, or act on it with the resize tool.

Limits worth knowing

  • Sizes are reported, never adjusted, in this tool.
  • Paper-match uses a ±2 pt tolerance; custom sizes are reported in mm/points verbatim.
  • Mixed documents get a warning, not a failure.
  • Encrypted PDFs are refused.

Points, millimetres and paper names

PDF geometry is in points: 1/72 inch. The inspector converts each box to millimetres with the same factor every print shop uses, and then tries an exact paper match within two points — loose enough for rounding, tight enough to be honest.

A3 is 841.89 × 1190.55, Letter is 612 × 792. Nothing here is rounded into a lie: a “Legal” match is 612 × 1008, with the tolerance printed for the sceptical.

Mixed documents are normal

Contracts with appended exhibits, scans at odd angles, slides copied into a letter. The summary tells you how many distinct sizes exist and whether orientations flip — the two questions a print run actually needs answered.

Frequently asked questions

Does PDF Page Size Inspector upload my files to any server?

No. PDF Page Size Inspector 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 Size Inspector free to use?

Yes, PDF Page Size Inspector 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 Size Inspector supports .pdf files up to 100MB directly in your browser.

Why does it matter?

Printing a mixed PDF to one paper size clips the larger pages. Knowing the sizes up front tells you whether to resize first, and which pages need attention.

What is “paper match”?

A tolerance match against common sizes — A5, A4, A3, US Letter, Legal, Executive and Tabloid. A page matched to none of them is reported as its exact size in points and millimetres instead of being forced into a bucket.

How is rotation reported?

Rotation degrees are applied to the reported orientation, so a 90°-rotated A4 page correctly shows as landscape.

Is my file uploaded?

No. Dimensions are read in this tab; the file stays on your device.
