Z-OptimiZr for Web Browsers can make these files on average two times smaller.
Two times smaller files are uploaded and downloaded two times faster and consume two times less network bandwidth and disk space.
Since files consume most of the network and storage resources of IT organizations, reducing (by 50% on average) the size of all files uploaded via the web browsers delivers numerous benefits:
Faster file uploads and downloads, reduction of Network and storage needs, Email and collaboration servers (like SharePoint servers) performing better (since their load is very significantly reduced), opportunity to host more users on your existing IT infrastructures...
How does Z-OptimiZr work?
Z-OptimiZr for Web Browser is fully automatic and transparent.
Browser Users have nothing to do. They select or drag and drop the files to upload or to attach as usual. The selected files are automatically made smaller by Z-OptimiZr for Web Browsers before to be uploaded.
Z-OptimiZr for Web Browser natively optimizes MS Office files (like DOCX, PPTX and XLSX).

By drastically minimizing our network usage Z‑OptimiZr really helped us in our migration to the Cloud!
We initially licensed Z-OptimiZr for Web Browsers to use it with IBM iNotes. Later on, we migrated to Microsoft and we were surprised to see that Z-OptimiZr was working perfect with Microsoft OWA, with no reconfiguration or re-installation needed!
Today we installed our first SharePoint server for evaluation purpose and guess what, Z-OptimiZr is working just fine with SharePoint, even when dragging and dropping files to SharePoint libraries!
Fantastic!
Several of our browser-based corporate applications require us to upload files in PDF format. Thanks to Z-OptimiZr, When selecting MS Office files to upload in the browser (we use Chrome and IE), it takes only one click to convert them to PDF files.
Plus the size of the resulting PDF files is really small and their rendering quality is just perfect, even for printing.
Thumbs up!
