Land the interview, not the rejection.

Yes. The Free plan includes 3 applications a month, and you do not need an account or a card to see your score and top fixes. The keyword-level detail (which terms are missing, where each one belongs) needs a free account, so your scans and rewrites are saved instead of lost when you close the tab.

PDF. It preserves the exact formatting an applicant tracking system will see, so your review reflects what recruiters actually get. If your resume lives in Word, Google Docs or Canva, export it to PDF first and upload that: it is the same file you would attach to the application, which is the whole point of checking it.

Your file is used only to generate your review and, if you sign up, to keep your scans and tailored versions available in your account. We don't sell your data, share it with employers or recruiters, or use your resume to train third-party AI models. You can delete your resumes at any time from the dashboard, and the full details are in our privacy policy.

Three things: how much your resume matches the specific job posting (the keywords, written the way the posting writes them), whether the file parses cleanly (one column, real text, standard headings), and which bullets are too vague to land. The rubric behind the number is public. Run a free ATS check to see it applied to your own resume.

Yes, and that is where the checker earns its keep: many polished Canva templates scramble when a parser reads them (we tested four real ones and two lost whole sections), and ChatGPT writes your text but never sees your final PDF. Upload the PDF and you see exactly what a machine reads. The tests are published: Canva templates vs the parser and ChatGPT resume prompts, tested.

No paid template, just the right structure: one column, standard section headings, real text instead of graphics and skill bars. Any resume built that way parses fine. There is a free ATS resume template you can copy, and the built-in builder produces that structure by default.
