Using our powerful Python API, developers can compress Word 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 Word or any available save format – DOCX, DOC, RTF, PDF, HTML and many others.
As mentioned, our Python SDK allows you to programmatically reduce the size of Word. And now you can try our powerful functionality and evaluate how to compress Word in Python with the following example:
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)
Install Aspose.Words Cloud SDK for Python using PyPi repository. Run pip install aspose-words-cloud to install the SDK, then import the package via import asposewordscloud. As an alternative, you can manually clone Aspose.Words Cloud SDK for Python source code from GitHub and use it in your project. Please follow these Instructions to quickly get the necessary security credentials and access our REST API.
Refer to the Repository Documentation to see the details.
You can perform document compression for other file formats:
