Why resumes get heavy

High-resolution headshots, graphics exported from design tools like Canva and embedded fonts inflate file size.

Compress PDF optimizes the file losslessly. Re-exporting a Word resume with Word to PDF often gives the smallest result.

No. Layout, fonts and colors stay the same.
