Common questions

How close to 500KB will it get?

If the target is reachable, the output lands under 500KB exactly. If not, you receive the smallest version your document's content allows.

Is my document stored anywhere?

Never. Files are processed in memory and the result is streamed straight back — there is no retention.

Is compressing to 500KB free?

Your first conversion is free with no account. Plans start at $5/month.
