Frequently Asked Questions

Q.When do I need to compress a PDF to 500KB?

A 500KB ceiling is the standard upload limit for multi-page document submissions, such as combined semester grade sheets, EPFO claims, passport police clearance certificates (PCC), property papers, and company tender filings. It strikes the perfect balance between high graphical resolution and fast web upload.

Q.Can I compress 5 to 10 page scanned documents to under 500KB?

Yes! SizeSnap is designed to handle multi-page PDFs. It balances downsampling across all pages so that tables, charts, stamps, and small fonts remain sharp while compressing the overall document below 500KB.

Q.Will color graphs and signatures look faded at 500KB?

No. At 500KB, SizeSnap can preserve rich color reproduction and high-contrast text. Our smart compression retains vector curves and downsamples only redundant background data.

Q.Is my confidential financial or academic PDF uploaded to any server?

Never. SizeSnap processes documents 100% locally inside your web browser. Your private salary slips, bank statements, and degree transcripts never touch an external server.

Q.What should I do if my PDF starts at 50MB and cannot reach 500KB?

For massive 50MB+ scans, run the output through the tool a second time, or use our "PDF to Images" and "Image to PDF" workflow at 150 DPI to instantly strip out heavy raster bloat.
