Compress PDFs for Recruiters: Get Under 2 MB in One Step

Recruiters skip CVs over 2 MB. Compress your PDF to under that limit with GekiPDF's free compressor, no signup or watermark.

    Runs the same engine as our Compress PDF tool.

    Recruiters open hundreds of CVs a day, and anything above 2 MB gets skipped. GekiPDF's compress tool rewrites your PDF using Ghostscript presets, so you can drop a 10 MB file to under 2 MB in about a second. The text layer stays intact, so keywords remain searchable.

    Choose Light (~200 DPI) for near-original quality, Recommended (~150 DPI) for most cases, or Extreme (~96-120 DPI) for the smallest size. Files up to 50 MB are accepted, and no signup is needed. Your file is deleted after one hour.

    Frequently asked questions

    Will compressing my PDF make it blurry?

    The text stays sharp because the text layer is preserved. Images may show slight quality loss at Extreme preset; use Recommended if visual detail matters.

    How fast is the compression?

    A typical 16-page scan takes about 1 second to process. You get the compressed file immediately after upload.

    Can I compress multiple files without signing up?

    Yes, you can run up to 40 conversions per hour per IP address, all without an account or watermark.
