How to compress a PDF to 500KB

1) Upload your PDF. 2) The 500KB target is pre-selected. 3) Download a file under 500KB.

Made for online applications

Resumes, scanned certificates, ID documents and transcripts uploaded to job and admission portals usually need to be 500KB or smaller. MarqPDF hits that size so the upload is accepted.

Resumes and scanned certificates

A one-page resume compresses easily. Scanned certificates are heavier because they are images, so MarqPDF re-samples the scan to reach 500KB without blurring the text.

Frequently asked questions

Why does my resume need to be under 500KB?

Many application portals reject files over 500KB. Compressing keeps the file within the limit so it uploads.

Will my scanned certificate stay readable?

Yes. MarqPDF reduces the image data only as much as needed to reach 500KB while keeping the text legible.
