Frequently asked questions

Which compression mode should I choose?

Start with Recommended. Use Smaller File when reducing size matters more than preserving image detail.

What if my PDF is already optimized?

The result explains when no smaller version can be created without increasing file size.

Is the compression API key sent to my browser?

No. The browser sends the PDF to OneTools, and the protected backend request happens server-to-server.

What is the maximum file size?

You can submit one PDF up to 100 MB.
