FAQ

Will Reduce File Size affect document content?

  1. Reduce File Size is mainly used to compress the document.
  2. The process usually focuses on images and redundant data, while text content and basic layout generally remain usable.
  3. 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?

  1. Check whether the document contains many images or other compressible content.
  2. If the document is mostly text with few images, the available compression space is usually limited.
  3. 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?

  1. Make sure the current file is a Writer document in WPS for Android.
  2. Check the path More > All Services or More Output Conversion for Reduce File Size.
  3. If the feature is still unavailable, check your sign-in status and membership status, then update the app and try again.
