How to Compress Images Using MS Word – Guide
To make using photographs more efficient, you can use a software program to resize them before you include them in your document. This will help reduce the amount of storage space that is used up.
When reducing the size of an image, two main approaches are to use lossless compression or lossy compression. Lossless compression is the most efficient and preserves all of the data in an image, allowing for a reconstructed image to be created without losing any information. Lossy compression is less efficient and can result in poorer image quality, such as artifacts.
How to compress images in word
Microsoft Word includes a function to compress images in a document so that your document is less space-consuming. To use this function, you need to click on an image and switch to the “Image Format” tab on the top bar. Once in the “Image Format” tab, click on the “Compress Images” icon in the upper right corner of the “Adjust” subsection.
In the “Image Format” tab, you can compress images by selecting the “Compress Images” option. This will reduce the size of the image by reducing its resolution.
In the Compress Images pop-up window, you can configure whether all images or just the selected one are compressed. By default, Word keeps all imported images at their default resolution, even if it is unnecessarily high. If you want to reduce space without losing quality, “High Fidelity” applies a lossless compression algorithm to reduce space without losing quality. The other options progressively lose quality as you go down the list, but they reduce the file size of the affected images more significantly.
