Fit any PDF to A4, Letter, Legal, A3 or A5 for printing. 100% private — processed locally, no uploads, no signup.
Does your PDF print with the edges cut off, content shifted down the page, or shrunk into a corner? That usually isn't your printer's fault — it's the browser or driver's "Fit to Page" setting guessing wrong, and it can guess differently every time you print. PDFree's Resize PDF tool fixes this upstream: it permanently fits every page into A4, Letter, Legal, A3, A5, or a custom size you enter yourself, and saves the result as a new file, so what you see in the preview is exactly what comes out of the printer — no more relying on a print dialog to get it right.
Click Choose files or drag your PDF into the drop zone. A live preview of page 1 loads in your browser — the file is never sent to any server.
Choose A4, Letter, Legal, A3, A5, or Custom to enter your own width and height, then choose Fit (whole page visible), Fill (edge-to-edge, may crop), or Actual size (no scaling, for documents that must stay true to scale). The preview updates live, showing the exact scale percentage before you commit to anything.
Click Resize PDF. Every page is rebuilt at the target paper size and downloads instantly — open it in any PDF reader and print at 100%, no "Fit to Page" guessing required.
Search any printer support forum and you'll find the same complaint in a dozen forms: a PDF that prints with the bottom line missing, a report that comes out shrunk into one corner, or a page that's cut off on the left. The usual advice is to change a scaling setting in the print dialog — but that setting lives in your browser or PDF reader, resets between apps, and behaves differently on every device and printer driver you use. PDFree's Resize tool sidesteps that entirely by permanently rebuilding the file at the exact target paper size, so the fix travels with the document instead of depending on whoever opens it next. Free-tier competitors that offer a similar resize feature typically cap it — Sejda's resize tool, for example, is limited to 3 tasks per hour and 200 pages or 50MB on its free tier. PDFree has no task limit, no page-count limit, and no account, ever.
A document made for one region's default paper size prints slightly off or gets cropped on the other. Resize it to match the paper actually loaded in your printer.
Business documents assembled from multiple sources sometimes mix page sizes. Resize every page to the same paper size before sending or printing a client-facing PDF.
Assignments and submissions often require a specific paper size. Fit your document to A4 or Letter before printing or uploading it.
Some documents — sewing patterns, official forms, scaled diagrams — break if they're resized at all. Use Actual size mode to place the original content on a new paper size without scaling a single pixel.

No. Every page is rebuilt entirely in your browser. Your file is never sent anywhere.
Usually the page size in the file doesn't match the paper loaded in the printer, and the browser or driver's automatic "Fit to Page" scaling is guessing how to reconcile the two — inconsistently. Resizing the actual PDF to your target paper size removes that guesswork permanently.
Fit shrinks the page so all of it is visible on the new paper size, leaving a border if the proportions don't match exactly. Fill scales up to cover the entire new page edge-to-edge, which can crop a small amount off the sides. Actual size applies no scaling at all — the original content is centered on the new paper size at true scale, which is correct for patterns, forms, or diagrams that must not change size.
Yes. Choose Custom in the paper size options and enter any width and height in millimeters — useful for non-standard formats like receipts, labels, or shipping documents. It defaults to your source PDF's own exact size, so selecting Custom without changing anything reproduces the original dimensions with zero scaling.
Auto matches the new page's orientation to each source page's own orientation — a landscape page gets a landscape target, a portrait page gets a portrait target — so a wide spreadsheet printout isn't squeezed into a tall frame at a tiny scale. You can also force Portrait or Landscape for every page.
No. There's no page-count or file-size limit, and no per-hour task limit. Resize a 2-page form or a 500-page report as many times as you need.
No. Each page is embedded as a vector object and scaled mathematically, not re-rendered as a raster image — text stays sharp and searchable, and images keep their original resolution relative to the new scale.
Yes. Every page is measured and fit individually, so a document with mixed original page sizes still converges to one uniform paper size in the output.
Resize works with one PDF at a time. For files that all need the exact same treatment, PDFree's other tools such as Compress and Watermark support processing several files at once.
Yes. PDFree works in mobile Safari (iOS) and Chrome for Android — the same paper size and fit-mode controls work with a tap.
Yes. PDFree is free with no subscription, no daily or hourly limits, and no signup. No watermark is added to the output and there's no file size restriction.
