How to resize a PDF

To resize a PDF, open the Resize PDF tool, add your file, choose a standard page size (A4, Letter, or Legal), and download — PDFER scales every page in your browser, with nothing uploaded.

Consistent page sizes

Documents assembled from mixed sources often have inconsistent page sizes that print badly. Resizing to one standard makes the whole file print cleanly.

Resize vs crop

Resize scales the whole page to a target size; Crop trims the margins. Use crop to remove borders, resize to standardize dimensions.
