How to get a PDF under 500KB

  1. Drop the PDF

    Scans, certificates, statements or reports. The file is read on your device only.

  2. Keep the goal

    The goal is set to 500KB. DigiCompress tries gentle settings first and only gets stronger if it must.

  3. Download

    You see the final size and whether the goal was met, then the file is wiped from the page.

Your CV, without the bloat

CVs exported from Word or Canva often carry full-resolution photos and design images, pushing them to several megabytes. DigiCompress shrinks those images to sensible sizes and leaves your text and layout untouched.

Hidden details such as the author name and editing software are removed by default, so recruiters see your CV — not your computer’s hidden details.

Frequently asked questions

Still unsure? Email hello@digicompress.com.

Will my CV still look professional?

Yes. At 500KB images stay crisp on screen and in print; text is never re-rendered.

Does it remove the author name?

Yes, hidden document data is removed by default during compression.

Is my file uploaded?

No. It is processed entirely in your browser.

Is DigiCompress free?

Yes. You can shrink 3 files a day without an account. Sign in with Google or an email link to use it as much as you like. We don’t sell anything inside the tool, and we never ask for payment details.

Ready when you are.

Drop your file into the compressor above. Nothing is uploaded — ever.
