This is a professional solution to compress EPUB using Python. Use our EPUB optimization API to develop high-level, platform-independent software in Python. Try it online for free!
We currently do not accept DOCX files as input. But we can produce DOCX files as an ouput. We look forward to full DOCX support in the near future.
Python library is a stand-alone solution and doesn't require any third party software installed.
Make DOCX files smaller without loss of quality. The Python library provides developers with an integrated API to optimize DOCX content. DOCX optimization occurs by compressing images inside DOCX files, as well as by removing unused data.
Ebook lossless compression and content optimization made easy with 'Aspose.Words for Python via .NET'. The following example demonstrates how to optimize the content of a DOCX file in Python:
pip install aspose-words
import aspose.words as aw
doc = aw.Document("Input.docx")
doc.cleanup()
shapes = [node.as_shape() for node in doc.get_child_nodes(aw.NodeType.SHAPE, True)]
for shape in shapes:
if shape.isImage:
# It's up to developer to choose the library for image compression.
image = Image.open(shape.image_data.to_stream())
# ...
# Compress image and set it back to the shape.
shape.image_data.set_image("yourCompressedImage")
doc.save("Output.epub")
import aspose.words as aw
doc = aw.Document("Input.docx")
doc.cleanup()
shapes = [node.as_shape() for node in doc.get_child_nodes(aw.NodeType.SHAPE, True)]
for shape in shapes:
if shape.isImage:
# It's up to developer to choose the library for image compression.
image = Image.open(shape.image_data.to_stream())
# ...
# Compress image and set it back to the shape.
shape.image_data.set_image("yourCompressedImage")
save_options = aw.saving.PdfSaveOptions
save_options.cache_background_graphics = true
doc.save("Output.epub", save_options)

if shape.isImage:
# It's up to developer to choose the library for image compression.
image = Image.open(shape.image_data.to_stream())
# ...

We host our Python packages in PyPi repositories. Please follow the step-by-step instructions on how to install "Aspose.Words for Python via .NET" to your developer environment.
This package is compatible with Python ≥3.5 and <3.12. If you develop software for Linux, please have a look at additional requirements for gcc and libpython in Product Documentation.
You can optimize files in many other file formats:
