Practical tips
Check whether the destination defines 1 MB as 1,000,000 or 1,048,576 bytes. Use a custom limit of 976 KB for a strict decimal-million-byte upload.
Good questions. Simple answers.
Is the size byte-perfect?
No. The requested size is a maximum using 1 KB = 1,024 bytes. A result may be smaller or may not reach the limit.
Can every PDF reach the target?
No. Many text-only or already optimized PDFs cannot shrink enough. The best result is shown with a clear warning.
Are my files uploaded?
No. These tools process files on your device. Download your result before leaving the page; a reset clears the current workspace.
