# Page scale

> Adjust the size of rendered content by specifying a scale factor for the webpage

The `scale` parameter allows you to control the size of the rendered content by applying a scaling factor.

## Overview

When rendering a webpage to PDF, you may want to adjust the size of the content to better fit the page or improve readability. The `scale` parameter lets you enlarge or reduce the content proportionally.

## Parameter details

<ResponseField name="scale" type="number" default={1}>
  Controls the size of the rendered content by applying a scaling factor

  Range: `0.1` to `2`
</ResponseField>

## Usage

```javascript theme={null}
{
  "parts": "https://example.com",
  "scale": 0.8
}
```

## Behavior

* **Values below 1.0**: Reduce the size of the content (e.g., `0.5` makes content half the original size)
* **Value of 1.0**: Render content at its original size (default)
* **Values above 1.0**: Enlarge the content (e.g., `1.5` makes content 50% larger)

## Use cases

This parameter is particularly useful for:

1. **Fitting more content per page**: Use values below 1.0 to reduce content size and fit more information on each page.

2. **Improving readability**: Use values above 1.0 to enlarge content for better readability, especially for small text.

3. **Adjusting for print**: Scale down content that would otherwise overflow the page boundaries.

4. **Mobile-optimized content**: Adjust the scale to better render mobile websites when converting to PDF.

## Examples

### Reducing content size

```javascript theme={null}
{
  "parts": "https://example.com",
  "scale": 0.75
}
```

### Enlarging content

```javascript theme={null}
{
  "parts": "https://example.com",
  "scale": 1.5
}
```

### Combining with other parameters

```javascript theme={null}
{
  "parts": "https://example.com",
  "scale": 0.9,
  "margin": {
    "top": 10,
    "right": 10,
    "bottom": 10,
