Make PDF pages the same size

This tool writes a new PDF. Fit keeps aspect ratio, fill crops overflow, centre keeps original size, and stretch is only used if you choose it. The original file is never overwritten.

Your file stays on this device. No upload or account required.

Drop a PDF to normalise page size

Creates a new file. Vector content is preserved when the PDF library can copy the pages.

Drag and drop, paste, or choose a file. The choose-file control is keyboard accessible.

Your file stays on this device. The original is never overwritten.

Choose a PDF to create a new, consistently sized copy.

Before you run it

Read the preview. Cropping and stretching are described in plain language. Vector content is copied when pdf-lib can embed the source pages. Encrypted, corrupt, or oversized files stop with an explanation; the original stays as it is.

Frequently asked questions

How do you recognise Letter, Legal, or A4?

Each page’s displayed MediaBox is compared with a named-size table using a 2-point (about 0.7 mm) tolerance. Landscape Letter still matches Letter.

What is the difference between MediaBox and TrimBox?

MediaBox is the full page canvas. TrimBox, when present, is the intended finished size after trimming. CropBox can hide parts of the media box on screen.

If BleedBox exists, do I have real bleed?

Not necessarily. Real bleed requires artwork to extend beyond the trim edge. A box can exist without any ink in that area. Extra empty margin is not real bleed.

Can you tell me every font is embedded?

Only when font dictionaries include a FontDescriptor with a FontFile stream. If that cannot be read, the report says Unknown instead of guessing.
