About this tool
Indeed stores your uploaded resume and shares it with employers when you apply. A PDF ensures your resume looks identical on every employer's screen, regardless of their Word version or operating system. Indeed's file size limit for resume uploads is 5MB.
Word files can reflow or display differently depending on the employer's software. Converting to PDF locks your formatting so it looks identical on every screen.Source: Indeed Help ↗
