Compress images for Word documents that stay small and still print sharp
Word documents get heavy in the least glamorous way: a handful of photos or figures dropped into a report, a thesis chapter, or a client proposal, each one straight from a phone or a stock site at several megabytes. The .docx that results is awkward to email, slow to open, and often rejected by an upload form with a size cap, all because the pictures inside were never meant to be that large in a page layout.\n\nSkwish resizes and compresses the images in your browser before they go into the document, with a live size readout so you can keep print-quality sharpness where it matters and cut hard on the images nobody zooms into. Process a full set of figures in one batch, export them as a ZIP, then place them in Word. Your originals never leave your machine.

Word document image notes
Use these before you upload or share the page.
Resize first, compress second. A 4000px photo in a print layout that needs 1200px is four times the pixels you will never see.
Print at 150-200 DPI. For most page layouts that is enough; only large hero images on glossy stock need more.
Compress the source, not the copy. Re-exporting an already-embedded image adds softness without saving much size.
