Questions about Compress Word

How much smaller will it get?

Documents with many photos often shrink by 50 to 90 percent. Text-only files are already small.

Is it safe?

Yes. Compress Word works inside your browser. Your files are not uploaded anywhere, so nobody else can see them, and there are no waiting queues.
