Resume Genius resume: make your resume PDF smaller
Some job portals cap uploads. Shrink the file without changing the text. This works on the PDF Resume Genius exported. MythosPDF regroups split fonts into the real typeface, recognises drawn bullets and keeps contact icons beside their text, so edits match the template.
How to do it
- 1.Open Compress PDF.
- 2.Add your resume.
- 3.Download the smaller PDF.
How Resume Genius writes resume PDFs
- • Online builders typically render the resume with a browser engine and save it as PDF.
- • Fonts are embedded as subsets or split Type3 fonts, often Google Fonts.
- • Bullets are sometimes drawn as shapes with a tiny hidden text copy for screen readers, and contact rows mix icons with text.
What happens to the rest of your resume
- • Text stays real text, so it remains searchable.
- • Photos are the usual reason a resume is large.
Questions people ask
+Will compression blur my text?
No. Text is not turned into pictures.
+Is it better to edit in Resume Genius?
If you still have the Resume Genius version and a lot to change, yes. For a quick fix to the PDF you already sent, editing the PDF is faster.
