NXPowerlite (Windows v7.1.5) using its default PRINT compression gave us a 4.68 MB file (and image quality we approved of). Running the file through WeCompress adjusted the file to a helpful 642 KB (and maintained good image quality, but a bit lower than we really want). The original file, with purposefully oversize images, is 14.9 MB. Other areas custom compression settings are important to us are when working on 4-6-8K output files (although the desktop version is currently limited to a 3480x2160px resolution base).įor comparison, here is our 10 slide sample deck which we optimized with WeCompress, NXPowerlite’s default compression setting, and our “TLC” custom NXPowerlite compression settings.

For example, TLC Creative’s standard compression is custom settings optimized for 1920×1080 HD display. The biggest difference is the ability to customize settings. But it does lack a few things in comparison to the desktop NXPowerlite app. WeCompress has a clean online app design and it’s easy to use. The upload and download time is dependent on your internet connection, but the actual compression/processing time was on par with the desktop NXPowerlite processing (eg. To use, go to WeCompress and just drag and drop your file to get started. WeCompress reduced the file size by 4MB and maintained image quality (for use on a 1920×1080 monitor). Our first test was optimizing this high-res.

Overall we found WeCompress an impressive online tool – and it is FREE to use! While our tests below show it is not as robust as the NXPowerlite desktop app, it provides a great option for everyone trapped in a corporate world of “we do not allow add-ins or utility apps to be installed.” And the good news is, wecompress is now publicly available for use!

The guys at Neuxpower recently invited us to beta test a new online compression tool called WeCompress. We found using this online tool is simple, easy and provides impressive results on par with the desktop version of NXPowerlite (review of NXPowerlite here).
