Compress PDF for Jobstreet Resume Uploads
Jobstreet.com.my, the largest job portal in Malaysia, rejects resumes over 2MB. A typical Word-exported resume with a profile photo and clean formatting often exceeds this limit, especially after adding scanned certificates. Use our free compressor to shrink your PDF without losing the layout that makes your resume stand out.

Why Jobstreet rejects your resume PDF
Jobstreet enforces a hard 2MB attachment cap to ensure their database scales for millions of applicants. Most rejected uploads come from PDFs that include high-resolution profile photos, scanned academic transcripts, or design portfolios embedded as image pages. Hiring managers searching keywords inside resumes also benefit when your PDF stays text-based — overly aggressive compression can turn fonts into pixels and break ATS keyword scanning. Medium quality is the sweet spot: it shrinks images while keeping text vector-sharp and ATS-readable.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the exact size limit on Jobstreet?
Jobstreet Malaysia caps resume PDFs at 2MB. Cover letters and supporting documents have the same limit per file.
Will compression break my ATS keyword scanning?
No. Our compressor preserves text as vector data, so applicant tracking systems can still parse your skills and experience perfectly.
Can I compress a portfolio with many photos?
Yes. Image-heavy portfolios shrink the most — often by 80-90%. Use Medium quality to balance size with photo clarity.
Should I use Low or Medium for Jobstreet?
Medium for resumes and cover letters. Low only if your file is still over 2MB after Medium compression.
