Frequently asked questions
Will resizing crop my PDF?
Fit keeps the whole page visible and may leave margins. Fill covers the new page but can crop edges; stretch fills it while changing proportions.
Is this the same as cropping?
No. Resize places the source content on a new standard-size page; Crop PDF adjusts its visible boundaries.
Can I resize to US Letter?
Yes. The supported sizes are A4, Letter, Legal, A3 and A5; A4 is the default.
What is the free file limit?
Guests can upload files up to 25 MB each. A free account raises the limit to 50 MB per file, and Premium allows 500 MB per file with larger batches.
Will text remain sharp?
PDF page content is embedded and scaled rather than exported as a low-resolution screenshot, although extreme enlargement can reveal limitations in source images.
