# Compress PDF for job portal uploads.

Prepare resumes, CVs, certificates, and application PDFs for job portals with size preview before export.

When a job portal blocks your resume, CV, or certificate PDF, BitePDF gives you a practical path: compress, check the output size, and export only when it fits.

## Target

job portal upload

## Example Result

- Original: 3.9 MB
- BitePDF output: 740 KB
- Saved: 81% smaller

## Why This Workflow Works

- Built for resume, CV, and certificate upload limits
- Low, Medium, and High profiles for different portal caps
- Readable text check before download
- Useful when ATS or HR systems reject oversized PDFs

## How To Use It

1. Upload the file the job portal rejected.
2. Try Medium first for resumes and CVs; choose High for tiny limits.
3. Download the prepared PDF after the preview shows a usable size.

## Good For

- ATS uploads
- HR portals
- internship applications
- certificate PDFs

## Questions

### What size should I target for job portals?

Use the number shown by the portal when it gives one. If it does not, 500KB to 1MB is a practical first target for most resume PDFs.

### Will compression affect ATS readability?

Text-based PDFs usually remain searchable, but image-heavy resumes may lose clarity at high compression. Check the preview before exporting.
