How to optimize DOCX?

Open the site: DOCX . Drag and drop DOCX files to optimize and compress them online. Or just use a code sample in Java. Install Aspose.Words for Java. Add a library reference (import the library) to your Java project. Open the source DOCX file in Java. Compress DOCX without losing quality. Call the Document.cleanup() method. The resulting code may vary depending on the output file format. Get the compressed result as a DOCX file.

Why compress DOCX files in Java?

Compressing DOCX allows you to improve the use of disk spaces and network traffic without sacrificing data quality.

What output file formats can I use to compress DOCX files?

We support a variety of output file formats for DOCX optimization, including DOCX, DOC, RTF, ODT, EPUB, JPG, PNG, XLS, XLSX, WPS and many more.

What is the maximum DOCX size supported by Aspose.Words for Java?

There are no size limits to compress DOCX files using Aspose.Words for Java.

Compress DOCX In Java

Compress DOCX file in Java

Make large DOCX files smaller without loss of quality. Delete unnecessary and unused data. Shrink the size of a DOCX file in code. The Java library provides developers with an integrated API to optimize DOCX content.

Reduce the size of DOCX files using Java

Java library is a stand-alone solution and doesn't require any third party software installed.

Lossless compression and deep content optimization made easy with 'Aspose.Words for Java'. The following example demonstrates how to optimize the content of a DOCX file in Java:
