Compress PDF to 500KB — frequently asked questions

Is 500 KB better than 100 or 200 KB?+

It gives the compressor more headroom, so images generally come out sharper. Use it whenever the form's limit allows it.

Will my file actually reach exactly 500 KB?+

It aims for under 500 KB, not exactly 500 KB — the result is usually a bit smaller than the limit.

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.
