Frequently asked questions
What usually keeps a file just above 450 KB?
Usually one or two large images, a scanned page, or embedded fonts. When a file is only slightly over, a light pass often fixes it: start with Low or Medium and check the estimated size. If it is still over 450 KB, choose High instead.
Will photos push the file over 450 KB?
They can. High-resolution photos often make up most of a PDF's size. Choose High, which gives the smallest result, and check the estimate. If several photos still push the file over 450 KB, keep only the ones the document needs or use smaller versions of them.
Can several pages of plain text stay inside 450 KB?
Yes, several pages of plain text typically remain well within the 450 KB limit, assuming minimal complex formatting is used. However, including elements like images, graphs, or intricate fonts, even in small amounts, can significantly increase the file size and exceed the limit.
How do I make sure the PDF ends up under 450 KB?
Check the estimated size for each level before you compress, and pick one below 450 KB. After you download the file, confirm its exact size in the file details. If every estimate is above 450 KB, compress the result again or remove pages you don't need.
