Common questions

Is my PDF uploaded?

No. The PDF is opened and rebuilt by your browser on your own device. It is never sent to us or to anyone else, and nothing is stored.

How do I convert a PDF from Letter to A4?

Drop the PDF in, choose A4 under New page size, leave Scale to fit and Match each page selected, and press Resize PDF. Letter is a little wider and shorter than A4, so the content is scaled by about 94 percent and a small white strip appears at the top and bottom. For A4 to Letter, choose Letter instead.

Will the text stay sharp?

Yes. Each page is placed on the new sheet as vector content, so text, lines and shapes scale without blur and the text can still be selected and searched. Pictures keep their original pixels.

What is the difference between fit and fill?

Fit scales the page until the whole of it is inside the new sheet, which can leave white space along two edges. Fill scales it until it covers the sheet, which can cut the edges off. Keep its size does not scale at all and centres the page.

Do links and form fields survive?

No. Links, bookmarks, form fields and comments are tied to positions on the old pages and are not carried into the new file. Resize before adding them, or keep the original alongside.

Can pages have different orientations?

Yes. Match each page keeps an upright page upright and a wide page wide, each on the new size. Choose Portrait or Landscape to force every page one way.

Can I set a custom page size?

Yes. Choose Custom size and type the width and height in millimetres or inches, from about 13 mm up to 5 metres.

Does resizing make the file smaller?

No. The page dimensions change but the content inside is the same, so the file stays about the same size. Use Compress PDF to shrink it.

Is it free?

Yes, completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark and no limit.

Nothing happens when I pick a file

The tool runs entirely in your browser, so a very old browser can fail silently. Try the current Chrome, Edge, Firefox or Safari. Your files are never uploaded anywhere.
