Turn a US Letter PDF into A4 pages that print without clipping in India, Europe and Asia
Processed in your browser. Nothing is uploaded. Updated on 24 Oct 2026.A PDF made in the United States is usually Letter size, 8.5 by 11 inches, which is shorter and wider than A4. Printed on A4 the sides can clip and the printer may ask for the wrong tray. This page resizes each Letter page to A4, 210 by 297 mm, scaled so all of it shows and centred, with the text left as text rather than turned into a picture.
Press Select a PDF and choose the US Letter document; the target is A4 (210 x 297 mm).
Choose Fit to keep everything on the page, or Fill to cover the page and trim the edges.
Set the Margin, or None, and look at the preview.
Press Resize to A4 and download the A4 PDF.
A4 (210 x 297 mm) is the standard paper almost everywhere; US Letter (8.5 x 11 inches) is the standard in the United States and Canada. The two are close but not the same: Letter is 6 mm wider and 18 mm shorter. Print an A4 PDF on Letter paper and the bottom of each page can be cut off; print a Letter PDF on A4 and the sides can be. This tool changes the page size itself, so the PDF prints correctly on the paper you have.
What is kept. The page is not turned into a picture. Its own drawing instructions are wrapped in a single scale-and-move, so text stays sharp and selectable, the file stays the same size, and links, form fields and comments move with the page. Landscape pages get landscape paper. Pages that are already the size you chose are left exactly as they were.
What it does not do. It does not reflow text: a page is resized as a whole, so small print gets about 6 percent smaller going from A4 to Letter. It does not change a scanned image's resolution. A PDF with a password needs unlocking first, and a digital signature will show as changed because the page contents move. Nothing is uploaded; the PDF is read and rewritten in your browser.

Yes. Choose A4 as the paper. A Letter page is scaled to 97.27 percent so its width fits 210 mm, then centred with about 13 mm of white above and below. Pages already the chosen size are left exactly as they are.
No. The PDF is read and rewritten inside your browser, on your own device. Files up to 100 MB and 2,000 pages work; a PDF with a password needs unlocking first with Unlock PDF.
