Compress PDF to 500 KB

You need a PDF under 500 KB - a common limit for email attachments, job applications, and document portals.

Balanced mode is the right choice here: it reduces images moderately and optimises the PDF structure, giving a significantly smaller file while keeping everything clearly readable.

Which compression mode should I use for a 500 KB target?

Balanced is a good first try - it handles most documents well. If your PDF contains many high-resolution photos, Compact will get you further. If it is mostly text, Optimize may be enough.
