About ATS Resume Checker
Paste or upload your resume (PDF, DOCX or text) and the job description to see how well they match. The checker lists the job's important keywords you already use and the ones you're missing, flags missing sections (contact details, summary, experience, education, skills), weak bullet openings like "responsible for", bullets without numbers, first-person pronouns, and a length that is too short or too long. Rules-based and transparent, so you know exactly why each tip appears. The text is checked in your browser; uploaded files are only read to extract the text and are not stored.
Frequently asked questions
How does it calculate the match?
We pick the most important words and two-word phrases from the job description (ignoring common words) and check which ones appear in your resume. It's a guide, not a guarantee – real ATS systems differ.
Does it check formatting for ATS?
It checks what we can see in the text: headings, contact details, length and dates. To be safe, use a one-column design with real text (like our ATS-simple template).
Is my resume stored on your servers?
No. Everything you type is saved only in your own browser (so you can come back later) – there is no account. When you click Download, the content is sent once to create the file and is not stored or logged. Use "Clear" to remove it from this browser.
Is the ATS Resume Checker free?
Yes, completely free with no signup and no daily limit.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. It works in any modern browser on iPhone, Android, Windows and Mac.
