About this tool
Applicant tracking systems (ATS) and job portals cap resume and portfolio uploads between 1 MB and 5 MB. A high-resolution photo or scanned transcript can push a resume over the cap. Compressing your job application PDF locally reduces image size while keeping text crisp for ATS parsers. Because resumes contain sensitive personal data, on-device processing guarantees your information stays private.
Compress PDF for job application stays on this device. The download is the copy you keep, and Weesize does not store a second one. Close the tab when you are finished and the bytes are gone.
- No upload: on-device compression protects your sensitive resume data.
- Speed: the file does not travel to a server and back, so the wait is only the work itself.
- Quality: the original is kept when the new file would be worse or is not actually smaller.
