Compress PDF Without Losing Quality

Many websites only allow PDF files up to a certain size, especially job portals, government application forms, and online submission websites. If your resume, certificate, marksheet, or scanned document is too large to upload, this PDF Compressor can help reduce its file size while keeping the text clear and the document easy to read. Simply upload your PDF, choose a compression level, and download the compressed file in a few seconds.

Provides the highest level of compression to reduce file size as much as possible. Best for documents with strict upload limits.

Why People Usually Need This

  • Sarkari job applications — Many recruitment portals, including SSC, state PSCs, and railway recruitment websites, have file size limits for uploading resumes, certificates, and ID proof.
  • Email attachments — Smaller PDF files are easier to send and receive, especially when sharing documents over mobile networks.
  • Resume uploads — Many ATS and job portals accept PDF resumes only up to a specific file size, making compression necessary before uploading.
  • Scanned documents — PDFs created using mobile camera or scanner apps are often larger than necessary and can usually be reduced without affecting readability.

How Much Smaller Will My File Get?

Compression results vary depending on your PDF. Text-only documents usually shrink only slightly, while scanned documents and PDFs with many images will compress much more.

Things to Keep in Mind

  • Keep the original PDF until you've checked the compressed file.
  • Password protected PDFs may not compress as much.
