Start with what a parser can read

A polished document is useful only if its important content can be extracted. Upload a text-based PDF or DOCX and inspect the numbered text in your report. Check your name, contact details, section order and bullet boundaries before chasing a higher score. Images and complex layouts need extra visual review.

Two checks, two different questions

The general score reviews parsing signals, structure, impact wording and clarity. Adding a job description creates a separate keyword-coverage score. A strong document can still be a weak fit for a vacancy; a high keyword percentage cannot confirm that you have the experience an employer needs.

A report you can act on

Open the highest-priority issue, inspect its source line and make one accurate edit. AI rewriting is optional and sends only the selected bullet after consent. Accept, edit or skip the suggestion, then re-check. You can copy the full report or save it through your browser’s PDF print dialog.

FAQ

Questions before you upload?

English resumes only. PDF text extraction and DOCX paragraphs are checked; visual fonts, all tables, and every ATS layout behavior cannot be verified. Scanned PDFs need OCR elsewhere.

What should I inspect before editing?+

Is the JD match part of my overall score?+

The general score reviews parsing signals, structure, impact wording and clarity. Adding a job description creates a separate keyword-coverage score. A strong document can still be a weak fit for a vacancy; a high keyword percentage cannot confirm that you have the experience an employer needs.

Can I edit and check again without signing up?+

Open the highest-priority issue, inspect its source line and make one accurate edit. AI rewriting is optional and sends only the selected bullet after consent. Accept, edit or skip the suggestion, then re-check. You can copy the full report or save it through your browser’s PDF print dialog.

Is the full resume check free?+

Yes. You can see every score, issue and extracted line without an account. Basic checks, two-JD comparison and report printing are free.

Does my resume leave my device?+

Basic checks run in your browser. Files and job descriptions are not uploaded. AI rewriting is optional and sends only the selected text to our server and Cloudflare Workers AI after your consent.

Is this my actual ATS score?+

No. Employers use different systems and rules. This is a reproducible heuristic check, not an employer score, ranking prediction or guarantee. AI is used only for optional rewriting.
