## Answer

Drop your PDF into the compressor below. It’s pre-set to 732 KB so the result passes a 750 KB limit either way. Useful when a “1 MB” portal still rejects files near the ceiling.

## What fits comfortably

A resume or short report with little or no visible change, or several scanned pages at good quality.

## What is squeezed

Twenty or more plain scanned pages at lower settings.

## Context

Some portals advertise 1 MB but reject files above ~750–800 KB after their own encoding or wrapper.

Starting at 750 KB leaves headroom without jumping straight to aggressive 500 KB compression.

## Tips

- **Try lossless first** — many text PDFs fit without rasterizing.
- **Shrink resume photos in Word** before exporting if Target size still struggles.
- **Check the portal’s exact wording** — it may want 750 KB specifically.

## FAQ

### Why compress to 750 KB instead of 1 MB?

When a site says 1 MB but still rejects your file, 750 KB is a practical next target that often clears their stricter counting.

### Will my resume stay ATS-readable?

If the lossless pass fits, text is unchanged. Prefer that over heavy rasterization for job applications.

### Does this upload my PDF?

No. Compression stays in your browser.
