FAQ
Will Reduce File Size affect spreadsheet quality?
- Reduce File Size mainly works by compressing images and cleaning redundant data.
- The spreadsheet structure itself is not converted into another file type.
- If the file contains many images, image display quality may change to some extent.
- For important files, choose to back up the original file before processing.
What should I do if the file size reduction is limited?
- First check whether the spreadsheet contains many images or redundant items.
- If the file already contains few images, the reduction result may be limited.
- You can remove unnecessary images or repeated content first, then run the feature again.
- After that, review the before-and-after size comparison again.
What is the difference between Reduce File Size and standard file compression?
- Reduce File Size works on content inside the document, such as images and redundant data.
- After processing, the document itself becomes smaller.
- Standard file compression usually packages the file, and the original size returns after extraction.
- If your goal is to reduce the spreadsheet file size itself for ongoing use, Reduce File Size is the more direct option.
