Drop an A4 PDF and download it on US Letter pages. A4 is 18 mm taller than Letter, so each page is scaled by about 94% and centred; nothing is cropped and text stays selectable. The file stays on your device.

## How to use it

1. Drop one or more A4 PDFs. Letter is already selected.
2. Optionally add a 6 mm margin, or choose Shrink only so pages are never enlarged.
3. Check the report and download the Letter-size PDF.

## Questions

### Are my files uploaded?

No. The page loads its code once, then reads and processes your files inside the browser tab. Nothing is sent to a server; you can confirm it in your browser's network panel while a file converts.

### Why does my A4 document get cut off when printed in the US?

A4 is 297 mm tall and Letter is 279.4 mm, so a printer set to Actual size on Letter paper cuts about 18 mm. Resizing the file to Letter shrinks each page to about 94% so the whole page prints.

### Is the text still sharp?

Yes. Pages are embedded as vector content and scaled, not turned into images, so text stays sharp and searchable.

### Can I convert to Legal instead?

Yes. Choose Legal (8.5×14 in) as the new page size.
