Compress PDF for Job Application — Resize Resume & Documents

Free & secureNo signup requiredFiles never stored

Most job portals — Naukri, LinkedIn, WorkIndia, and government recruitment sites — have strict upload size limits. Whether it's your resume, degree certificate, or experience letter, our tool cuts down your PDF size without affecting text or layout.

Pro Tip: Resumes compress best at 'Light' level. Use 'Strong' for scanned certificates or marksheets to hit portal limits.

Who Uses This

Naukri & Monster India

Resume uploads on Naukri are capped at 2MB, but keeping it under 200KB ensures faster loading and better ATS compatibility.

Government Recruitment Portals

UPSC, SSC, RRB, and state PSC portals require resumes and certificates under 100–300KB. Our tool fits all these limits.

LinkedIn Easy Apply

Attaching a PDF resume to LinkedIn applications works best when the file is under 2MB. Compressed files also upload faster.

Company Career Portals

MNC and startup career pages often cap uploaded documents at 500KB. Compress your resume, cover letter, and certificates together or separately.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my resume formatting change after compression?+
No. PDF compression only targets embedded images and metadata. Text formatting, fonts, bullet points, and spacing are completely preserved.
What types of documents can I compress?+
Any PDF — resumes, degree certificates, experience letters, bank statements, marksheets, aadhaar copies, and more.
Is there a watermark added to compressed files?+
Never. Compressly does not add any watermark, branding, or signature to your documents.
How small can a resume PDF get?+
A typical text-based resume compresses from 300–500KB down to under 50KB with strong compression. Vector-based PDFs from Word or Google Docs compress even better.
Can I compress multiple documents at once?+
Yes. Upload all your job application PDFs at once and download them compressed individually.
