02 — Questions

What if my PDF can’t reach 1 MB?

You get the smallest version it could make and its exact size. PDFs that are mostly text and fonts are already compact, so images are the only lever.

Will text stay sharp?

Yes. Real text, fonts and vector drawings are never touched. Scanned pages are images, so they are downsampled only as far as the target needs.

Is 1 MB counted as 1,000,000 bytes?

Yes, so the file also passes limits that count 1 MB as 1,048,576 bytes.
