How to compress documents
When a DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, ODT, ODP, or ODS file is too large to send or store, Document Compressor reduces the image data inside it. Pick a preset or set image quality, dimensions, or a target size, then download the processed file. The work stays local to the browser.
Compress DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, ODT, ODP, and ODS files
This category links to one tool, Document Compressor. It accepts the office and OpenDocument formats listed above, works on the images stored inside them, and gives you a processed file to download. A DOCX with inserted photos, a PPTX with screenshots, and an XLSX with pasted images all use the same compression method.
Reduce document size by changing embedded images
Document Compressor reduces size by recompressing embedded images. Choose a preset, or set image quality, image dimensions, or a target size for the output. The stated method works on image data inside the document and does not describe edits to text, headings, formulas, or tables.
A file with large inserted photos has more image data to process. A file made mainly of text has less image data to change, so its size may change less. The listed inputs are DOCX, PPTX, XLSX, ODT, ODP, and ODS. PDF is outside that list.
Keep document compression in the browser
Select the document in Document Compressor, choose a preset or image setting, and download the processed file. The category describes the workflow as local to the browser, with no upload.
Use Document Tools when you need more than image recompression. The parent category lists document compression, document merging, and content extraction. Choose Document Compressor when embedded images are the part of the document you want to reduce.
