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.

Je, mnapakia faili zangu kwenye seva?+

Hapana — kila zana hapa inachakata faili zako kikamilifu kwenye kifaa chako, na hakuna kinachopakiwa kwenye seva. Tofauti pekee ni zana za AI, ambazo hutuma maandishi yaliyotolewa (si faili) kwa Claude ili kufanya kazi yake.

Je, kuna kikomo cha ukubwa wa faili?+

Hatuweki kikomo cha bandia, lakini kwa kuwa uchakataji hufanyika kwenye kivinjari chako, faili kubwa sana (zaidi ya 500MB au kurasa 1,000+) hupunguzwa na kumbukumbu ya kifaa chako, si sisi.
