Downloading a "highly compressed" version of Microsoft Office 2016 is generally not recommended and carries significant risks

When pirates claim 100 MB, they are compressing the original files. Instead, they are:

Microsoft offers free web-based versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and OneNote.

However, no third‑party modder can “fix” the fundamental requirement that Microsoft Office 2016 is a commercial product. While some custom installers incorporate KMS emulators or volume‑license keys, those workarounds operate in a legal grey area at best. Microsoft does not authorise these methods, and using them may violate the software’s End User License Agreement (EULA).

Could an Office 2016 installer be compressed down to 100 MB in theory? With extreme lossy techniques (removing large parts of the software) or with very sophisticated delta compression (differences from a base install already present on the system), one could get close, but the result would not be a complete, standalone installation medium. In practice, the “100MB” claim in search results is likely a marketing lure. Some download portals rename their files to something like “Office2016_100MB.rar” to attract clicks, while the actual archive size is far larger once you begin the download.

: A completely free, open-source alternative to Microsoft Office that is highly compatible with .docx, .xlsx, and .pptx formats.

Before diving into the “highly compressed” claims, it helps to understand why a genuine Office 2016 installer is anything but small. The official Microsoft Office 2016 suite consists of dozens of dynamic link libraries (DLLs), shared resources, language packs, proofing tools, templates, and security updates. A complete Office 2016 installation typically occupies several gigabytes (GB) of disk space. Even when you choose a custom install that includes only the core applications—Word, Excel, and PowerPoint—the installation package remains substantial.
