Compress Image

Hi,
We are trying to compress the picture in Word file for disk space reduction. This morning, I tested picture compression by manual and the program which used your code above, and the test results as below:
The source Word file size is 289KB, and need compress to 96DPI.
After compressed by program, its size is reduced to 197KB.
But manually compressed by ‘Compress Pictures’ functionality, its size is reduced to 59KB.
Obviously, compression by manual is much better than program. May I have your help to get the better compression by program? and we are using ASPOSE Word, is there any function to implement it?
Thanks in advance!

Hi
Major,

Thanks for your inquiry. I think you can try specifying tiff compression type and resolution of output image. Please see the following API page:
https://reference.aspose.com/words/net/aspose.words.saving/imagesaveoptions/

Moreover, please see below a sample code snippet:

Document doc = new Document(MyDir + "Rendering.doc");
ImageSaveOptions options = new ImageSaveOptions(SaveFormat.Png);
options.Resolution = 300;
options.TiffCompression = TiffCompression.Ccitt4;
doc.Save(MyDir + "Rendering.SaveToImageResolution Out.png", options);

I hope, this will help.

Best Regards,

Hi Awais,
Thank a lot for help.
We want to compress the pictures with low dpi in Word file, like the Word function ‘Compress Pictures’ as shown in attached screeshot. Don’t change Word file format.
How can we do using code?
