Is 500KB achievable for your PDF?

✅
1–3 page text document

Easily achievable. Text-heavy PDFs can reach 100–300KB at moderate compression with excellent legibility.

⚠️
5–10 page mixed document

Achievable with moderate compression. Expect visible quality reduction on embedded images.

🔴
20+ page photo-heavy PDF

Very challenging. The compressor will get as close as possible but may not reach 500KB without heavy quality loss. Consider splitting the PDF first.
