# Compress resume PDF to 200KB.

Reduce a resume PDF toward 200KB with a compression picker, visible byte savings, and export-after-preview flow.

A 200KB resume limit is easier to hit than 100KB while keeping cleaner text. Start with Medium, then use High if needed.

## Target

200KB resume

## Example Result

- Original: 1.6 MB
- BitePDF output: 184 KB
- Saved: 89% smaller

## Why This Workflow Works

- Medium first for readability
- High fallback for strict portals
- Original vs output size shown clearly
- Works for resumes with headshots, scans, or graphics

## How To Use It

1. Upload the resume PDF.
2. Try Medium compression first.
3. Switch to High if the output is still above 200KB.

## Good For

- resume uploads
- job applications
- recruiter portals
- career sites

## Questions

### Does BitePDF show the compression result before checkout?

Yes. BitePDF shows original size, output size, and saved percentage before you choose an export plan.

### Can I change compression strength?

Yes. The compression picker lets you choose Low, Medium, or High. Low favors quality, Medium balances quality and size, and High targets the smallest export.
