About Word compressor
This page compresses a Word document so the file is smaller to store, upload and send. Upload a Word file, pick a compression level and download the smaller result. You can reduce Word size to 500Kb, 200Kb or even 100Kb, and the page shows the new size after compression.
The number and quality of images in a Word document affect the compressed size the most. Use this Word compressor when a document is too big to attach to an email, when you want to free up room on a drive, or when you need a smaller copy of a report, a contract or a resume.
Your file goes to GroupDocs servers, is compressed there, and you download the result, so the tool works in a browser on any device. The compressor removes data the document does not need, such as metadata and unused templates, and optimizes its images. When it is done, the page shows the new file size.
