What's new in NXPowerLite Desktop Edition 5?
Compress PDF filesPDF is an incredibly popular format. According to Google, it's the most common file type on the Internet. But many PDF files contain unnecessarily bloated elements and large chunks of irrelevant data inserted by the software that created them. NXPowerLite can now remove bloat and redundant data from PDF files, compressing them by an average of 30-50%. |
Fully compatible with Office 2010NXPowerLite can now compress files created using the latest version of Microsoft Office. A lot has changed 'under the hood' in Office 2010, and NXPowerLite has been optimized to make the most of these changes. We've tested NXPowerLite with thousands of Office 2010 files, to ensure that they are as small as possible and look identical to the originals. NXPowerLite is also fully integrated with Office 2010 applications (32-bit), so you can compress your files within PowerPoint, Word or Excel 2010. |
Ensure compressed files look amazing - even on large screensSince NXPowerLite was first released in 2001, computer screens have got bigger and better. So we've changed NXPowerLite's default settings* to reflect today's higher resolution devices. Now, you can be sure that your compressed files will look amazing, no matter how large your screen is. * The new default settings mean that some files may be larger than if they had been compressed using previous versions of NXPowerLite. Learn how to replicate NXPowerLite's old default settings. |
Reduce JPEG file sizes without changing their dimensions
Older versions of NXPowerLite cut JPEG file sizes by reducing their physical dimensions. NXPowerLite can now compress JPEG files without resizing – so your files get smaller, not your images.
It speaks your language
NXPowerLite is now available in twelve languages**. So now even more people can reduce the size of their Word, Excel, PowerPoint, JPEG and PDF files, wherever they are in the world.
** Currently supported languages: Brazilian Portuguese, Chinese (simplified and traditional), Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish.
Simple to use file compression
Simple user interface
NXPowerLite Desktop Edition is fast, effective and incredibly easy to use. The simple user interface will feel instantly familiar so you can compress PowerPoint, Word, Excel, JPEG and PDF files within seconds.
Choice of optimization levels
You can optimize for screen, print or mobile devices – or select your own custom compression settings. Whichever you choose, you'll find that NXPowerLite is far more effective than ZIP file compression on image-heavy files.
Microsoft Office integration
You can use NXPowerLite file compression from within PowerPoint, Word or Excel. You can also optimize a file by right-clicking it in Windows Explorer.
Batch processing
You can optimize multiple files in one sitting – simply drag them onto the NXPowerLite window to build a list of files to optimize. If you add a folder or standard ZIP archive to the list, NXPowerLite will search through it and compress Word, Excel, PowerPoint, JPEG and PDF files contained within.
Email integration
Automatically compress email attachments
NXPowerLite Desktop Edition integrates with your email client* to automatically compress big Powerpoint, Word, Excel, JPEG and PDF files attached to emails. If you ever decide that you don't want to compress an email attachment, it's easy to temporarily disable the optimization (it will be re-enabled next time you send an attachment).
Easily share your photos
Simplify the sharing of digital images with JPEG compression built right into your email*. Smaller images are more likely to be successfully delivered, and are quicker for people to download.
* Currently supported email clients: Lotus Notes, Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express and Windows Mail

How it works
Files are often much larger than they need to be. NXPowerLite makes them smaller.
NXPowerLite file optimization software attacks file bloat by eliminating any excess baggage and converting graphics to the most efficient file format and resolution. You're left with a file that looks and feels identical to the original, but is much smaller.
Optimized files remain in their original format, retaining all their attributes and visual content integrity. They don't need to be unzipped and there's no need for special viewing software – so they can be opened and edited by anybody.
Average file size reductions
- Microsoft PowerPoint presentations: 88%*
- Microsoft Word documents: 84%*
- Microsoft Excel spreadsheets: 76%*
- NXPowerLite can also optimize JPEG and PDF files.

What NXPowerLite does
File optimization is 'lossy' by design – trimming bloated elements is the only way to permanently reduce file sizes. NXPowerLite removes gratuitous, excess data from your files and makes a number of additional adjustments to optimize them:
PowerPoint, Word & Excel files
|
JPEG files
|
Visual quality of optimized files
Visual content integrity
'Visual content integrity' means optimized files look identical to the originals in every way. They also retain all of their original attributes and functionality.
Using NXPowerLite's default settings, there is no visible difference between the original and optimized version of a file. The optimized version is just much smaller.
Neuxpower's primary development focus is to ensure the visual content integrity of all files. Our testers optimize many thousands of files and carefully check the results – so you can confidently reduce file sizes without concern for impairment.
Example files
- PowerPoint: Original (PPT, 22.7MB) > Compressed (PPT, 957KB)
- Word: Original (DOC, 23.6MB) > Compressed (DOC, 518KB)
- Excel: Original (XLS, 24.3MB) > Compressed (XLS, 253KB)
- JPEG: Original (JPG, 2.7MB) > Compressed (JPG, 737KB)
- PDF: Original (PDF, 786KB) > Compressed (PDF, 528KB)
Other storage reduction methods
The problem with ZIP file compression
The main problem with zipping a file is that it has to be unzipped. Decompressing files on-the-fly can significantly slow down system performance.
Also, ZIP file compression can have very little effect on the files that are most in need of reduction – such as large Microsoft Office or JPEG or PDF files. Zipping an image-heavy PowerPoint presentation will typically result in a compression rate of just 10-15%. Optimizing the same presentation can reduce its file size by 90% or more.
Finally, storing your files within a ZIP archive can mask their true identity. The original file icon and extension are hidden, and most search tools can’t see what’s stored within the archive, making it harder to find your compressed files.
Using NXPowerLite with ZIP compression
If you already have a ZIP compression solution in place, NXPowerLite can be used alongside it. Optimizing a compressed file (or compressing an optimized file) will often make the file even smaller.
NXPowerLite can shrink PowerPoint, Word, Excel and JPEG files stored within standard ZIP archives, so it doesn’t matter whether you optimize or compress first. This means NXPowerLite can work in harmony with your existing ZIP compression tools and compressed files.
Compress PowerPoint, Word, Excel, JPEG and PDF files with NXPowerLite Desktop Edition
Most Microsoft Office, JPEG and PDF files are unnecessarily bloated – and bloated files are hard to share. Large email attachments fill up your mailbox, take ages to send and often get ‘bounced back’ without ever reaching their intended recipient.
For IT departments, it means additional storage, slower mail servers, choked bandwidth and an increasing number of IT support calls.
NXPowerLite fixes file bloat
Used by more than a million people worldwide, NXPowerLite Desktop Edition attacks file bloat at the core, compressing Powerpoint, Word, Excel, JPEG and PDF files by up to 95%*.
Incredibly simple to use, it can compress files from within Microsoft Office, or integrate with your email client** to automatically compress email attachments as they are sent.
Files remain in their original format, retaining all their attributes and visual content integrity – they look and function identically to the originals, but are much smaller!
