Frequently asked questions
Why does compression vary between PDFs?
Every PDF contains a different mix of images, fonts and document structures, so the achievable reduction is different for each file.
What does Already optimized mean?
It means ToolSphere could not create a smaller safe result, so keeping the original bytes avoids increasing the file size or reducing quality unnecessarily.
Which compression level should I choose?
Basic is a sensible starting point, Moderate balances quality and size, and Strong targets the smallest practical result.
