50KB is an aggressive target, common on older government portals. Compressify uses its strongest compression to get there. For single-page documents this works well; for multi-page files you may need to reduce pages or scan in grayscale first.

Frequently asked questions
My PDF won't go under 50KB — why?
50KB is very small. Multi-page or colour-photo PDFs may not reach it without losing readability. Try a single page, grayscale, or a slightly higher limit if your portal allows.
Does grayscale help?
Yes. Scanning or saving in black-and-white/grayscale dramatically reduces size before you even compress.
