Frequently asked questions
How do I resize a PDF?
Add your PDF, then either fit every page to a standard paper size (A4, Letter, Legal, A3, A5) or scale the pages by a percentage. Download the resized PDF when it's ready.
Will resizing keep my content readable?
Yes. In paper-size mode each page's content is scaled proportionally and centred, so nothing is stretched or cropped.
Does resizing reduce the file size?
Scaling pages down can reduce the file size somewhat, but to make a PDF significantly smaller use the Compress PDF tool, which re-encodes the content.
Is my PDF uploaded?
No. Resizing runs entirely in your browser; your file never leaves your device.
