How to Reduce Excel File Size

But first, look at this file’s size:

Note: You could just right click on the file, and choose zip or compress in the options showing. However, you would need a program like WinRAR, WinZip, or any other program that zip. If that suits you perfectly, please do.

Open the file, click on the things that make the file large (in this case the picture).

With the picture marked, click on format (1), and then compress picture (2).

Press ok

Note: Repeat these steps on all the pictures, or other.

Use “Save As” to save the file in .xlsb format

In conclusion, the size reduction might not be much, but it is something.
