Compressing a Picture
Office allows you to compress pictures in order to minimize the file size of the image. In doing so, however, you may lose some visual quality, depending on the compression setting. You can pick the resolution that you want for the pictures in a document based on where or how they’ll be viewed (for example, on the web or printed). You can also set other options, such as Delete cropped areas of picture, to get the best balance between picture quality and file size or automatically compress pictures when you save your document.
Compress a Picture
- Click to select the pictures you want to compress.
- Click the Format tab under Picture Tools.
- Click the Compress Pictures button.
- Select the Apply only to this picture check box to apply compression setting to only the selected picture. Otherwise, clear the check box to compress all pictures in your document.
- Select or clear the Delete cropped areas of pictures check box to reduce file.
- Click the Print, Screen, E-mail, or Document option to specify a target output.
- Click OK.
