What Does "Insufficient Memory" Mean?

Resolving memory issues when running the AI model

1 min read

"Insufficient memory. Close other apps and try again." appears when your device doesn't have enough free RAM to run the AI model.

The AI model requires significant memory to run. When your device is low on memory, iOS may prevent the model from loading or force it to unload mid-processing.

Why This Happens

  • Other apps are using significant memory
  • Your device has been running for a long time without restart
  • Multiple browser tabs or heavy apps are open

Solutions

1

Close other apps

Swipe up and close apps you're not using to free up memory.

2

Restart your device

This clears memory and often helps significantly.

3

Wait and retry

Memory pressure can be temporary. Try again in a few minutes.

4

Try a smaller PDF

Very large files use more memory during processing.

Your data is safe

If processing is interrupted due to memory, your progress is saved. Return to NeatPass to continue where you left off.
