Word documents packed with high-resolution images or embedded media can balloon in file size, making them slow to email or upload. ConvertBrio is building a Compress Word tool that will shrink a DOCX file's size by optimizing its embedded content.
What This Tool Will Do
Compress Word will re-encode images and other embedded media inside a .doc or .docx file to reduce overall file size, while leaving the document's text and formatting untouched.
Why It's Not Live Yet
This feature is part of ConvertBrio's broader Excel/PowerPoint and Office-document tooling that's currently in development, since it shares infrastructure with the other document tools still being built.
What You Can Do Right Now
In the meantime, if your large Word document is destined for PDF, converting it with Word to PDF and then running the result through Compress PDF can meaningfully shrink the final file size today.
