What to expect at 500 KB
500 KB is a larger file. Gives room for a multi-page document with readable text. Try this size first if 200 KB or 300 KB makes your text look soft.
Tip: if you still cannot reach the limit, remove pages you do not need and try again.
Other sizes
No limit · 50 KB · 100 KB · 200 KB · 300 KB
If your photos are very large, you can also compress them to 500 KB first, or edit, merge or read scanned PDFs with the free PDF editor and OCR.
Questions
How do I make a PDF under 500 KB?
Add your images, keep the Target size on 500 KB and press Create PDF. The tool lowers the picture quality and size step by step until the file fits. If it cannot reach the limit, it tells you.
Why does my PDF look blurry at 500 KB?
A small limit means smaller pictures. Crop away empty borders, use a sharp photo with even light, and add only the pages you need.
Can I make it smaller than 500 KB?
Yes, choose a lower Target size. Very small sizes make text harder to read, so check the PDF before you upload it.
Are my files uploaded?
No. The PDF is made in your browser, and your images never leave your device.
