FAQ

Are my PDFs uploaded?
No. Every target-size attempt runs in your browser.
What happens if the target is impossible?
The tool explains that the limit could not be reached and still gives you the smallest readable result it achieved.
Can a tiny target affect readability?
Yes. Very small limits may require lower DPI page-image compression, so the page warns when text may stop being selectable.
