An electronic apparatus and a compression method for an artificial neural network are provided. The compression method is adapted for the artificial neural network with a plurality of convolution layers. The compression method includes: setting a first pruning layer for coupling the first pruning layer to Lth convolution layer, where the first pruning layer has a plurality of first weighting values and each of the first weighting values corresponds to each of a plurality of channels of the Lth convolution layer; tuning the first weighting values, selecting a part of the channels of the Lth convolution layer to be at least one first redundancy channel according to the first weighting values, and generating a compressed Lth convolution layer by deleting the at least one first redundancy channel; and removing the first pruning layer, and generating a first compressed artificial neural network.
