About 500KB
Photograph the page flat in daylight, crop the edges, then compress. Dark text on a white page produces the smallest files.
For scale, 500KB is about 0.49MB. A typical 3MB phone photo has to shrink roughly 6 times to fit, so expect lower resolution and some softness. Cropping first keeps more detail.
Tips for best results
Photographed or scanned documents can be large. This reduces them to 500KB while keeping text readable.
