How to use Resize PDF
Change paper size or add white space around selected PDF pages.About resize PDF pages
Change paper size or add white space around selected PDF pages. Prepare a document for a print requirement, standardise mixed page sizes, make room for a binder, or add breathing room around a scan without sending the file anywhere.
This tool is designed for a focused file task, not a broad document-editing workflow. Check the input and output summary above, then use the page preview and settings to describe exactly the copy you want to download.
How PDFolio helps you resize PDF pages
Choose Page size for A-series, US, or custom paper dimensions. PDFolio scales selected pages proportionally to fit and centres the result. Choose Add margins when the page size should grow around the existing content instead; set top, bottom, left, and right independently in millimetres, inches, or centimetres.
Before you process the file, take a moment to check the file list, selected pages, and visible settings. PDFolio creates a new result rather than modifying the source file, which lets you keep the original document as a reference or make another version with different settings.
Before you download
A4 is common in much of the world, while US Letter is common in North America. Match the destination requirement rather than guessing. Page-size conversion can add white space when source and target proportions differ. Margins enlarge the exported page and retain the source content at its original scale.
Use clear source filenames and confirm the exact output you need before processing. That small check is especially helpful for sensitive files, repeated versions, or documents with similar page names. The settings shown beside the workspace are the settings applied to the downloaded result.
Choose a unique output filename in your downloads folder if you are keeping several versions of the same document. The original file is never replaced automatically. If you plan to send the result, use the downloaded copy rather than a browser preview, and confirm its page count or file size after processing. This helps prevent confusion between a working source and the final version.
Finish one task at a time for long or sensitive documents. PDFolio uses the same local download flow as other browser files, so your browser may ask where the result should be saved or show its usual download notification.
When the result is ready, download it immediately and open it in your usual PDF viewer to make a final check. You can then use Clear task data to release temporary file references from this browser tab. PDFolio does not create an account, cloud folder, or server-side document history.
A private way to resize PDF pages
PDFolio handles the selected files in the active browser tab. A Web Worker on your device performs the PDF task so the interface can remain responsive; document bytes are not sent to a PDF processing server, upload queue, account database, or advertising platform.
Clearing the task, refreshing the page, or closing the tab releases the temporary in-memory task data. This local approach is useful for everyday documents such as contracts, statements, IDs, and school or work files that should not need to pass through a third-party service.

Good to know: Page-size changes scale content proportionally and centre it; margins expand the page around the existing content.
