# How do I make a Keynote, Pages or Numbers file smaller?

Open the document and choose **File → Reduce File Size…**. It downsamples large images and movies and can remove unused media, then shows how much space it will save before you confirm.

Keep a copy of the original if you might need full-resolution media later.
