Frequently asked questions
How can I compress a PDF to 500 KB?
Upload the PDF, select the 500 KB target and compress. This is a gentle target, so quality usually stays good.
Is 500 KB enough for a scanned document?
For a few pages, yes. A PDF with many high-resolution scans may need a lower target or fewer pages to fit.
Can I check the result before uploading it to my portal?
Yes. Download the compressed file and open it to check the pages and size before you upload.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. The compression runs in your browser, so your documents never leave your device.
