Questions

FAQ

Privacy, scan quality, and exact-size uploads.

Is my PDF uploaded?

No. Compression runs entirely in your browser. Your files never leave your device.

What is SizePDF best for?

Scanned certificates, bank statements, photo transcripts, and other image-based PDFs for email or online uploads.

Can I compress a PDF to exactly 500KB or 1MB?

SizePDF aims for your target size. Scanned and photo PDFs usually get under the limit; text-heavy PDFs may land close but not always exact.

Will text stay selectable?

Usually not. Strong compression turns pages into images — fine for many uploads where file size matters more than editable text.

What if it cannot reach the target size?

You still get the closest result. Try Smaller file, fewer pages, or a slightly larger target such as 1MB instead of 500KB.
