How do I shrink a resume PDF under 250 KB for a job portal?

Upload the PDF, set a target around 200–250 KB, and download. Text-heavy one-page resumes often land under 250 KB at moderate compression; scanned multipage files may need stronger compression or fewer image pages. If still over, flatten high-DPI photos or split appendices. Always open the output to confirm fonts stay readable.
