CNET editors' review

Reviewed by: CNET staff on January 12, 2009

Although it's easy to compress and reconfigure select Microsoft Office files with this useful utility, NXPowerLite's short 10-use demo is on the stingy side.

Still, anyone who can use Windows Explorer can use this tool. The dialog-size interface merely displays a list of files chosen to compress, a pull down menu to choose compression level, and an Optimize execution button. NXPowerLite works on Word, PowerPoint, and Excel file formats since Office 97.

The application offers five compression options from the quick Normal to the slower but more precise High Quality. Also included are a custom set of compression options and a special mode for mobile devices. Testers found each option effective and quick. The option for mobile devices helpfully compresses with 320-pixel wide screens in mind, and it reformats the files to fit the small screens. The application will also convert embedded items such as Photoshop files into much smaller formats, but it makes the embedded file impossible to edit.

NXPowerLite's ease of use somewhat offsets the 10-use trial restriction. Any user who frequently works with large Microsoft Office files should give this simple, effective application a try.

Publisher's description

NXPowerLite Desktop Edition radically reduces the size of Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, PowerPoint presentations and JPEG images, making them easier to use, store and share. Files remain in their original format, with no discernible loss of quality--and there's no need to unzip before using them. It's incredibly easy to use. Simply select a file, choose your optimization level and click the 'Optimize' button. If you use Lotus Notes, Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express or Windows Mail, it's even easier. NXPowerLite Desktop Edition will automatically optimize e-mail attachments as they are sent. File recipients don't need NXPowerLite to open or edit the attachments.
