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.

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.
