How to Use Compress PDF to 500 KB
- Drop your PDF. The 500 KB target is pre-selected.
- Press Compress and wait a moment while it tries different settings.
- Download the smaller PDF, or try 1 MB if quality is too low.
Getting under 500 KB
500 KB is tight: it suits one to five scanned pages. For longer documents, split them first or ask whether the portal accepts several files. WeShoal never returns a file bigger than your original.
