How this PDF page resizer works
Pick A4, US Letter, US Legal or A5, and every page of your PDF is scaled onto that paper size and centered, with its proportions kept, so nothing is stretched or cut off. Landscape pages stay landscape, and links and form fields move with the content. It runs in your browser, so the document never leaves your device. Honest note: when a page's shape differs from the paper you get white margins on two sides instead of distortion, and scanned pages don't gain sharpness when enlarged.
Resizing tips
- Letter to A4, or the other way round, is the classic job: the shapes are close, so content shrinks or grows only slightly.
- Landscape pages are detected automatically and get the landscape version of the paper size you pick.
- Cropped a scan first? Resizing keeps your crop, and the trimmed margins stay hidden.
- Text and vector graphics stay sharp at any size. Scanned pages are images, so scaling them up won't add detail.
- A5 is exactly half of A4, so pages resized to A5 print two-up on a single A4 sheet for booklets.
Resize PDF — common questions
Latest questions readers ask us about this topic.
Is my document uploaded?
No. Pages are resized by your browser and the new file downloads straight from your device's memory. Contracts, manuscripts and statements stay on your computer, and nothing is stored anywhere.
Will my content be stretched or cut off?
Neither. Each page is scaled by the same amount horizontally and vertically, to the largest size that fits the new paper, and then centered. When the shapes differ, the leftover space becomes white margins rather than distortion.
What's the difference between A4 and US Letter?
A4 is 210 × 297 mm and is standard almost everywhere outside North America. US Letter is 8.5 × 11 inches (216 × 279 mm), slightly wider and shorter. Printing one on the other can clip the edges, which is why resizing before you print helps.
Do links and form fields still work?
Yes. Link areas and form fields are moved and scaled along with the page content, so they stay over the right text. Bookmarks that jump to an exact spot may land slightly off after resizing, but they still open the right page.

The sub-questions readers ask next — answered, with where to go.
Specificity and tension. A scroll-stopping opener promises a concrete payoff ('the 3-word edit that doubled my reply rate') or opens a loop the reader needs closed — not a vague 'let's talk about engagement'. Front-load it: on most feeds only the first line shows before a cut-off, so the hook has to do its work there. Test several angles for the same post; the winner is rarely the one you'd have guessed.
Style your opening lineMatch the length to the job, then check it against the limit. Instagram captions can run long for storytelling but the hook must land in the first ~125 characters before 'more'; X/Twitter rewards tight, standalone lines; LinkedIn truncates around two lines. TikTok and Reels captions are short by nature. The reliable move is to draft freely, then trim against a live counter so nothing important gets cut.
Check the limit liveFewer, and more relevant, than the old advice. The era of 30 generic tags is over — most platforms now reward a small set (roughly 3–8) that genuinely describe the post, mixing one or two broad tags with several specific, lower-competition ones. Stuffing tags reads as spammy and can suppress reach. Put them where they don't interrupt the read: end of the caption or first comment.
Read the content hubTreat the bio as a one-line pitch, not a résumé. Open with who you help and the outcome they get, add a single proof point, and close with a reason to follow or a clear next step. Keep it skimmable, lead with the words people would search, and reserve any styled text for one emphasised phrase. Links and @mentions stay plain so they stay clickable.
