Shrink Word, Excel, PowerPoint & ZIP files — in your browser

Recompresses the images inside your documents so they fit past email limits. Nothing uploads.

Why an Office document gets so large

A .docx, .xlsx or .pptx is a ZIP archive with the text, the layout and every embedded image inside it. The text is tiny. Almost all the weight comes from pictures — usually pasted in at full camera resolution and then scaled down on screen, so the file still carries a 4000-pixel-wide photo to display something the size of a postcard.

PackFit opens that archive in your browser, recompresses the images it finds, and repacks it. The document keeps its structure, so what comes out is a valid file that opens normally — just without the hidden bulk.

What it works on

Frequently asked questions

Will it shrink any file?

No — and it will tell you rather than pretend. The savings come from recompressing embedded images, so an already-compressed ZIP or a document with no large pictures inside will shrink very little.

Will the document still open properly?

Yes. The archive is repacked with its structure intact, so Word, Excel and PowerPoint open the result as normal.

Are my documents uploaded?

No. Everything happens on your own device, which matters when the file is a contract or an internal deck.

What does it cost?

One file per run, up to 10 MB, is free. A one-time purchase adds batch processing, unlimited file size, and image quality and max-dimension controls.
