The problem

You're on your phone, the job posting closes in three hours, and the upload field rejects your photo with "PDF only" or "Indeed cannot read it." Indeed, LinkedIn, Workday, and most ATSes (applicant tracking systems) accept PDF only — and the PDFs they accept have to be small (often under 2-5 MB), properly formatted, and parseable. A photo of a printed resume won't cut it; even an existing PDF can fail with a cryptic "1 Error" or "File(s) not supported" message.

The fix

PDFThis turns a phone photo of your resume into a clean, ATS-friendly PDF that uploads to Indeed, LinkedIn, and Workday without complaint. Output is well under any platform's size limit, formatted as a real document rather than an image, and crops cleanly so the ATS parser actually sees the text. Total time: about 15 seconds from photo to download.

What you get

  • Indeed caps resume uploads at 2 MB and accepts PDF, DOC, DOCX, RTF, TXT — PDFThis output lands well under that ceiling.
  • LinkedIn resume uploads are recommended under 2 MB; document posts can be larger but cannot be uploaded from mobile (LinkedIn policy).
  • Workday's resume upload limit varies by employer (~5 MB typical). A clean PDF from PDFThis is usually 200-800 KB.
  • Common ATS failures (multi-column layouts that strip formatting, image-only resumes that parsers can't read) are still issues — PDFThis ensures the format is right, but make sure your resume content uses a single-column, text-based layout.
