I've seen this word used as the opposite of magnify, but it's been in specialist fields. That word is minify. However, dictionaries list this word. It seems to have come about analogously using magnify as a model:
2.(with object)
To reduce in actual size or amount; (now) especially to reduce the size of (an image).
From classical Latin
min- + -ify, after magnify.
Oxford Living Dictionaries
To make smaller or less significant; reduce.
[min(imum) +
(magn)ify.]
American Heritage Dictionary
(tr)
rare
to minimize or lessen the size or importance of
(something)
from Latin minus less; for form, compare magnify
Collins Dictionary
1.to make less.
2.to minimize.
Latin min(us ) less + -ify, modeled on magnify
Random House Unabridged Dictionary (dictionary.com)
lessen
Merriam-Webster Dictionary
2.To reduce in apparent size, as for example objects viewed through a lens or mirror shaped so as to increase the field of view, such as a
convex or aspheric mirror or a Fresnel lens.

It also comes up in thesauruses. However as you can see, it seems to be a term that's arisen after magnification to mean its opposite, and is probably not often used outside of specialist domains. In light of that, and since you don't seem to writing a technical or academic piece, you may want to use a more common English word.
