Name
The line at the top; with nothing that looks like a name, the field stays empty.
Free ATS resume checker
Drop the PDF here and read your résumé the way an ATS does: a format score, what it finds and what it loses. No sign-up, and the file never leaves your browser.
PDF only, up to 20 MB.
The file stays in your browser. It is sent to no server, not even ours.
What the reader finds
The text becomes a profile with separate fields, and that profile fills in the forms.
Contact
Email, phone and the address behind every link.
Title and summary
The job title you use today and the paragraph at the top, where your search starts.
Experience with dates
Company, role, period and what you did, dates in numbers.
Education
Course, institution and period, which forms often ask for separately.
Skills and tools
The languages and tools in the text, grouped by kind.
Free to start, no card: 3 applications, 1 a day. Buy credits for up to 10 a day.
What usually breaks
Five things that vanish in the reading, without a word.
A PDF that is only an image
A scanned sheet or a photo returns zero characters; here the product says so, a job form does not.
Two columns
The text comes out in the order the file stores it, a left-hand line glued to a right one.
Tables
A job inside a table turns into loose pieces, and the dates lose the role.
Headers and footers
In many editors they sit outside the text, so what is there disappears.
Contact details as icons
A drawing of an envelope is not text: the address stays hidden and the field arrives empty.

Questions about the check
Does my résumé go to a server?
No. The reading happens inside your browser, on your machine. The PDF is never uploaded and nothing is stored.
Do I have to create an account?
No. Drop the PDF and the answer appears. The account only comes in if you want the agent to apply for you.
Is the score worth anything?
It counts the items on this page: what a screening program reads from your file and what it loses. It is not a chance of being called, because no company publishes the ruler it uses.
Why did my good-looking résumé score low?
Two columns, tables and icons look great on screen and scramble the reading. What you see and what the program reads are different things.
Do you read DOCX too?
On this page, PDF only. Inside the product we read DOCX, .doc, .odt, .rtf, .txt, .md and .html.
