Compress PDF to 1MB — frequently asked questions

Is 1 MB a safe default?+

For most multi-page documents, yes — it's usually enough room that the quality loss is barely noticeable, unlike the more aggressive 100 KB or 200 KB targets.

What if my file is already under 1 MB?+

It's returned as-is (or lightly re-compressed) — there's nothing to shrink.

Laddar ni upp mina filer till en server?+

Nej — alla verktyg här bearbetar dina filer helt på din enhet, och inget laddas upp till en server. Det enda undantaget är AI-verktygen, som skickar den extraherade texten (inte filen) till Claude för att göra sitt jobb.

Finns det en filstorleksgräns?+

Vi sätter ingen konstgjord gräns, men eftersom bearbetningen sker i din webbläsare begränsas mycket stora filer (500+ MB eller 1 000+ sidor) av din enhets minne, inte av oss.
