ATS resume checker

Know what to improve. Before you apply.

Q: Which files can I check?

Upload a PDF up to 5 MB with extractable text, or paste the resume text. Image-only scans may not contain readable text. Word uploads are not supported.

Q: Does it compare my resume to a job description?

No. The current checker analyzes your resume text on its own. It does not calculate a match score against a specific job posting.

Q: Is this the score an employer will see?

No. It is an AI-generated estimate for this review. Employers use different systems and criteria, so the score cannot predict screening or hiring decisions.

Q: Can it detect problems with my layout?

The review uses extracted or pasted text, not a visual inspection of the original document. Check columns, graphics, page breaks, and reading order yourself before submitting.

Get an AI-assisted review of your resume’s clarity, content, and ATS readiness. Turn section-by-section feedback into a more focused next draft.

Understand what the score means

Scores are AI-generated estimates based on extracted or pasted text. They are not an employer’s ATS score and do not predict interviews.

Make it useful

Use the score as a starting point.

Fix unclear experience and missing context before chasing a higher number. The checker reviews text; it does not inspect the original page layout or compare your resume with a job posting.
