Save the smaller Word file
Word files get large because photos and screenshots are stored inside the .docx at full size. The text itself is usually only a few kilobytes. Shrinking those images is what makes the document small enough to email or upload.
This tool opens the file in your browser, compresses the images, and rebuilds the Word document. Your file is never uploaded. Text, headings, and layout stay in the document. Pictures may look slightly softer at the Strong setting.
Many mail servers reject large .docx attachments. Compress the images before you send the file.
Resume portals often cap document size. A photo in the header is usually what pushes the file over the limit.
Admission forms and application portals commonly reject Word files above 1 MB or 2 MB.
A smaller .docx sends faster and is easier to open on a phone.
Text is unchanged. Photos and screenshots are resized and recompressed, so pictures can look slightly softer. Light keeps more detail. Strong makes the smallest file.
Almost all of the size is images in the document — photos, screenshots, and logos pasted at full resolution. The words themselves take very little space.
No. Compression runs in your browser. Your Word file is never uploaded to a server.
Old .doc files are not supported. Open the file in Word or Google Docs and save it as .docx, or convert it with the Word to PDF tool.
Choose Strong. If it is still too large, turn on Remove embedded fonts and compress again. A document packed with large screenshots may need a few pictures removed in Word before it can fit under 1 MB.
