When properly compressed, documents should average **approximately** 100-200KB per A4 page. ### Solution #### Image files (such as X-Rays) Gensolve recommends Fast Image Resizer. Fast Image Resizer application is a simple, free software tool which allows you to resize any image to the desired file size. To download Fast Image Resizer, click [here](http://download.cnet.com/Fast-Image-Resizer/3000-12511_4-10655681.html). *Note: If you need help installing and using the software, please contact the [Gensolve Support Desk](https://gensolveptyltd.zendesk.com/requests/new) for assistance.* #### MS Word Documents (such as Word and Excel) To save office documents with the best image compression, follow the steps below: 1. Locate the first image in the document, and click on it to display the **Format tab** in the top ribbon. 2. On the **Format tab**, click **Compress Pictures**. ![](https://docs.testpublic.gensolve.com/docs/gpm_nz/desktop/Knowledge_Base/Working_with_Files/Graphics/Upload_Large_Files_1.bmp) 3. On the Compression Settings pop up: - Select **Automatically perform basic compression on save** - Select **Delete cropped areas of pictures** - Select **Email (96 ppi)**. ![](https://docs.testpublic.gensolve.com/docs/gpm_nz/desktop/Knowledge_Base/Working_with_Files/Graphics/Upload_Large_Files_2.bmp)     4. Click **OK**.     5. Save the document as normal - the images will be compressed. #### For PDF documents A third party application called CutePdf may be used to reduce the size of PDF files. Download it from [http://www.cutepdf.com/](http://www.cutepdf.com/) and click on the Free Download link. Once installed, select Print then select the "Cute PDF Writer" printer option instead of your usual printer. This doesn't print the document but saves the PDF to a specified folder on your computer. Saving the PDF using CutePdf appears to reduce the size of the file significantly. You can also split your PDF into multiple and smaller parts by choosing to "print" a range of pages (p1-10 for example). - [Gensolve Enterprise Manager](https://knowledge.gensolve.com/migration/knowledge/gensolve-enterprise-manager?hsLang=en#main-content) -
