Questions
Is 1 MB the same as 1000 KB?
Near enough. This tool counts 1 MB as 1,000,000 bytes, the stricter reading, so the file passes either way.
Will the text still be selectable?
Yes, for typed PDFs. Only the pictures inside are shrunk, so text stays sharp and selectable. If a file can only get smaller by turning its pages into pictures (some scans), you are told that the text can’t be selected.
Is my file uploaded anywhere?
No. Everything happens in your browser. The file never leaves your device.
