To compress a PDF to 500 KB, SafeResize turns the pages into lighter pictures until the file is 500,000 bytes or less, which is under 500 KB whether a website counts 1 KB as 1,000 or 1,024 bytes.
| 500 KB in bytes | 500,000 bytes, or 512,000 bytes when 1 KB is counted as 1,024 bytes, as Windows does |
|---|---|
| 500 KB in MB | 0.5 MB, or 0.488 MB as Windows counts |
| The PDF you download | 500,000 bytes or less, so both counts accept it. Windows shows it as 488.3 KB or less. |
| Each page gets, shared evenly | About 250 KB with 2 pages, or 100 KB with 5 |
| Sharpness of each page | 150 DPI first, then 120, 96, 72, 56 and 45 DPI, stopping at the first that fits |
500 KB holds several pages at good quality, so it suits bank statements, transcripts, signed forms and other multi-page documents.
The tool below opens with 500 KB filled in. Often the "Medium" card is already under 500 KB, and the size is shown on the card before you choose.
Shared over 6 pages, 500 KB is about 83 KB a page (500,000 bytes divided by 6 is 83,333). Type 500 KB, press "Make it this size", and the result page shows the real size and page 1 as it was saved.
The preview shows page 1 only. Before you upload, open the downloaded file and look at the page with the signature and at the smallest print, at full size.
Typing 500 KB makes the file as clear as possible while staying under 500 KB. Medium is lighter and is fine when you do not have a limit.
Yes. Every page is kept, in the same order and the same page size.
No. Nothing is uploaded, so there is nothing for us to keep.
