Apchukso ~/office● No upload · No daily limits
When a PowerPoint file is heavy, it's usually the photos. This shrinks only the photos to the size they appear on the slides and leaves text, tables, and animations untouched. Word (DOCX) files are compressed the same way.
Beta Each compressed file is read back right away, and you only get it after the photo links and file structure check out. Still, for important files, keep the original and open the new file in PowerPoint once to make sure it's fine.
Use it when a presentation is over the email attachment limit, when an assignment upload site has a size limit, or when you need to send it through a chat app. Phone photos are 3–5MB each, and even when you place them small on a slide, they're stored in the file at full size. Apchukso calculates how big each photo actually appears on its slide and shrinks it only to fit that size. No need to click [Compress Pictures] in PowerPoint photo by photo: the whole file is cleaned up at once.
Q. Why is my PowerPoint file so big?
Usually it's the photos. A single phone photo is 3–5MB, and even if you place it small on a slide, it's stored in the file at full size. If photos were pasted in as PNG, it's even bigger. Apchukso shrinks photos to the size they appear on the slide and converts photo-like PNGs to JPG.
Q. Will my text or animations change?
Slide content, fonts, tables, charts, and animations aren't touched. The only things that change are the photo files and, when a photo's format changes, the link pointing to it. Each photo's position, display size, and cropping stay the same.
Q. How much smaller does it get?
A 22.3MB PPTX with 6 phone photos and a large PNG image went down to 4.0MB (-82%), and a 15.0MB Word file with 4 photos went down to 0.27MB (Recommended level, about 2 seconds in Chrome on a PC). Files whose photos are already small, or that are large because of videos, shrink less.
Q. Does it work on PowerPoint files with videos?
Videos and audio are left as they are. If videos are what's making it big, try [File] > [Info] > [Compress Media] in PowerPoint.
Q. What about old formats (.ppt) or password-protected files?
Old formats like .ppt and .doc and password-protected files can't be compressed. In PowerPoint, use [Save As] to save it as PPTX, or remove the password and save, then add the file here.
Q. Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. Apchukso has no server that receives files. Shrinking the photos and repacking the file all happens in the browser you're using right now. Even if you turn off Wi-Fi after opening the page, it compresses just the same.
