How to Resize a PDF

The oMyPDF Resize PDF tool changes a PDF's page size to A4, Letter, Legal or any custom dimension, and lets you choose how the content scales to fit. Smaller files are resized right in your browser, so nothing leaves your device.

    Choose how content fits

    Under How content fits, choose Fit (keep aspect ratio, adds whitespace), Stretch to fill (may distort), or Center (no scaling). You can also limit which pages are resized.

Tips

  • Standard or custom: choose A0–A6, B4/B5, Letter, Legal, Tabloid and photo sizes — or enter any custom width and height.
  • Fit vs. stretch vs. center: Fit keeps the aspect ratio (adding whitespace), Stretch fills the page (may distort), and Center keeps the original size on the new page.
  • Resize only some pages: enter page numbers or ranges like 1-3, 5, 8-10 to resize just those pages and leave the rest untouched.
  • Auto orientation: it matches each page's original orientation, so landscape pages stay landscape and portrait pages stay portrait.
