FAQ
Will Reduce File Size affect document content?
- Reduce File Size is mainly used to compress the document.
- The process usually focuses on images and redundant data, while text content and basic layout generally remain usable.
- If the document contains many high-resolution images, image appearance may change after compression, so backing up the original document first is recommended.
Why is the file size reduction not obvious?
- Check whether the document contains many images or other compressible content.
- If the document is mostly text with few images, the available compression space is usually limited.
- For a more visible size change, use this feature on documents that contain many high-resolution images.
What should I do if I cannot find the Reduce File Size entry?
- Make sure the current file is a Writer document in WPS for Android.
- Check the path More > All Services or More Output Conversion for Reduce File Size.
- If the feature is still unavailable, check your sign-in status and membership status, then update the app and try again.
