Why optimize files in Python?

Compressing files allows you to improve the use of disk spaces and network traffic without sacrificing data quality. Install Aspose.Words Cloud for Python Add a library reference (import the library) to your Python project Configure API using your app keys Load the source document to compress Compress documents and images, clean unused information Select the output file format Get the result of the document compression as a separate file

Does your Python library support compressing files programmatically?

Our Python library allows developers to programmatically compress a document

Compress document in Python

Using our powerful Python API, developers can compress files to optimize content and output file size. Reducing file size occurs by cleaning up unused data and resources. You can also compress images to make the output file size even smaller.

The result of content optimization and compression can be saved in the original file format or any available save format – DOCX, DOC, RTF, PDF, HTML and many others.

Reduce file size in Python

As mentioned, our Python SDK allows you to programmatically reduce the size of a document in any supported format. For example, you can reduce the file size of PDF, DOCX, DOC, RTF, ODT, EPUB, HTML and other formats. And now you can try our powerful functionality and evaluate how to compress a document in Python with the following example:

Compress file using Python

Input file

Upload a file you want to optimize/compress

Run code

Image quality

Image reduction ratio

Output format

Select the target format from the list

import asposewordscloud

words_api = WordsApi(client_id = '####-####-####-####-####', client_secret = '##################')

request_document = open('Input.docx', 'rb')
request_compress_options = asposewordscloud.CompressOptions(
   images_quality=75, images_reduce_size_factor=1)
compress_document_request = asposewordscloud.models.requests.CompressDocumentOnlineRequest(
   document=request_document, compress_options=request_compress_options)
compress_document = words_api.compress_document_online(compress_document_request)

convert_document = asposewordscloud.models.requests.ConvertDocumentRequest(
   document=list(insert_paragraph.document.values())[0], format='docx')
words_api.convert_document(convert_document)
