Frequently Asked Questions
Because 400KB is a very generous data limit for standard documents, you can often fit 30 to 50 pages of pure text without an issue. For documents with complex graphics or high-res images, you can generally fit 5 to 10 pages before you begin to see compression artifacts.
Usually not. Unless you are compressing a massive file (e.g., a 40MB photography portfolio) down to 400KB, your images will retain very high visual quality suitable for screen viewing, printing, and professional presentations.
When online portals or email clients state a "Max 400KB" limit, they will immediately reject any file that is 400.1KB or larger. To guarantee your file is successfully accepted on your first try, our tool strategically targets a size about 5% below your exact maximum limit.
Yes! Our secure uploader accepts files up to 50MB. Reducing a 40MB file to 400KB is a 99% reduction in size. While the tool will successfully output the file, be aware that this extreme level of compression will heavily downsample your embedded images.
