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 Python. Install Aspose.Words for Python via .NET. Add a library reference (import the library) to your Python project. Open the source DOCX file in Python. 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 Python?

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 Python via .NET?

There are no size limits to compress DOCX files using Aspose.Words for Python via .NET.
