    What this does

    Resizing changes the paper a document is set on — A4 to Letter, or anything to a size you give — and scales the content to match rather than cropping it. Because the content is scaled rather than re-set, the line breaks do not move: a resized page is the same page at a different size, not a reflowed one.

    Questions people ask

    Will the text reflow to the new page size?

    No. A PDF has no text to reflow — it records glyphs at positions. The whole page is scaled, so it looks like the original photographed at a different size.

    What is the difference between this and Crop?

    Resizing keeps everything and changes the scale. Cropping keeps the scale and shows less of the page. If your margins are too wide, crop; if your printer wants Letter, resize.

    Is my file uploaded anywhere?

    No. The work happens in this browser tab, on your own machine. There is no server in this product to send a file to, which is why the promise is checkable rather than something you have to take on trust: open your browser's network panel and watch it do the work without making a request.

    Is there a size limit, or a limit on how many files?

    None that we impose. The limit is your own machine's memory, because that is where the work happens — a few hundred megabytes is comfortable on a laptop, and less on a phone. There is no daily task counter, no queue and no account.

    What does it cost, and what is the catch?

    Nothing, and there is no paid tier that unlocks features: the whole product is the free one. That is affordable because running it costs us nothing — your computer does the work — so there is no per-file cost to recover, no advertising and no data to sell.
