Compress PDF for Job Application

Job portals cap resume uploads at 2-10MB. Compress your PDF to fit — privately, in your browser.

Compress PDF for Job Portal

No signup. Your resume stays in your browser — nothing uploaded.

Job application portals like Indeed, LinkedIn, Workday, Greenhouse, and Lever enforce file size limits on resume and cover letter uploads — typically 2MB to 10MB. If your PDF exceeds the limit, you cannot apply. fileGOD compresses your resume PDF to fit any portal's requirements. Processing runs in your browser, so your personal career documents are never uploaded to a third-party server.
