Compresser un CV PDF pour e-mail et envoi ATS

Questions Fréquentes

What's the best file size for a resume PDF?

Most recruiters and ATS systems expect resumes under 1 MB. Some portals cap at 500 KB (Workday) or 2 MB (design roles). Compressing to 500 KB is the safest default for tech and corporate roles.

Will compressing my resume hurt print quality?

No. Text-heavy resumes use vector fonts which are not affected by compression. Only embedded photos and graphics are re-encoded. Print resolution stays at 300 DPI minimum.

Will ATS systems still be able to read my resume?

Yes. The compressor preserves text as a selectable, searchable layer. ATS bots that parse text (Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, iCIMS) read the text layer directly, not the image — so compression does not affect parsing accuracy.

Should I compress a two-column resume?

Yes, but columns increase parsing risk for some legacy ATS. If a column breaks the parse, switch to a single-column layout before compressing. The compress tool does not change your layout.

Does the compressor add a watermark?

No. The output is identical to the input except for smaller file size — no watermark, no footer, no signature, no ads.

Can I compress multiple resume versions at once?

Yes. Drop several resumes (e.g., one per role type) and compress them all in one batch. Each output preserves its original filename.

Is my resume data safe?

Yes. The entire compression runs locally in your browser. Your resume, with all your contact details and work history, never leaves your computer.
