Common questions
Why 500 KB?+
Some government forms, job portals and older upload systems cap PDFs at 500 KB. This gets a scanned or image-heavy PDF under that tight limit in one click.
Will my text stay readable?+
Yes. We only reduce the resolution of embedded images — the text and vector graphics are kept as-is, so the document stays crisp and selectable.
What if it can't reach 500 KB?+
500 KB is a tight target. A text-only PDF may already be near it, and a very image-heavy one may not fit while staying legible — we give you the smallest safe version and tell you. Try 1 MB if you need more headroom.
Is my PDF private?+
It's uploaded over an encrypted connection, compressed on our server, and both the upload and the result are deleted within an hour. No account, no watermark.
Is there a watermark?+
No watermark and no signup. Scanned and image-heavy PDFs are exactly what this is built for.
