mypdf.space

Short answer

Applicant tracking systems read real text layers — not photos of a resume. Prefer Keep text compress, run OCR if the PDF is a scan, flatten only when needed, then Deep Clean. Job Packet below chains size + clean + a privacy receipt locally.

How it works

  1. 1

    Drop your resume PDF (add optional cover letter and up to five portfolio PDFs).

  2. 2

    Pick a size target, optional company watermark, then Build packet.

  3. 3

    Download the zip (or resume only) and keep the privacy receipt with your records.

Files never leave your device

Your PDF is processed in this browser tab. Files never leave your device, and mypdf.space does not receive uploads. No account, no watermark, no server-side copy.

Limits worth knowing

  • Heavy design or image-only resumes hurt ATS parsing.
  • OCR is imperfect — proofread names and dates.
  • Portal rules vary; always follow the employer’s format notes.

Frequently asked questions

  • Why does ATS reject my PDF resume?
    Often the file is image-only, password-locked, or over the size limit. Unlock, OCR if scanned, compress with Keep text, then re-upload.
  • Should I flatten my resume?
    Only if forms or layers break the portal. Prefer selectable text. Deep Clean can flatten forms without uploading.
  • Does this upload my resume?
    No. Job Packet and related tools run in your browser.
