Analyzed entirely in your browser. Nothing is uploaded or stored.
What this checks
- Formatting red flags — tables, embedded images, and multi-column layouts that scramble or hide content from ATS parsers.
- Structure — whether standard sections (Experience, Education, Skills) and contact info are present and easy to find.
- Length — whether your resume reads as too thin or padded past a reasonable length.
- Content quality — passive phrasing, generic buzzwords, unquantified bullets, and keyword stuffing.

Free vs. paid ATS checkers
Tools like Jobscan cap free scans and charge a monthly plan for unlimited use. This checker is free and unlimited by design — it runs entirely in your browser instead of a paid backend, so there's no scan limit to hit and no plan to upgrade to. Use it as often as you're revising a resume, then reach for JD-specific keyword matching (via the ATS resume checker) once you have a posting to target.
FAQ
Is this ATS checker actually free?
Yes. No account, no email gate, no credit card. Paste or upload your resume and get your score immediately.
Do you store or see my resume?
No. Everything — reading the file, extracting the text, scoring it — happens in your browser. Nothing is uploaded to our servers or saved anywhere.
What file formats can I upload?
PDF, DOCX, and TXT, up to 8MB. You can also just paste the text directly, which works for any format.
How is this different from the ATS Resume Checker in the app?
This free tool scores general ATS readiness — formatting, structure, and common parsing pitfalls — without needing a job description. Our AI Resume Tailor goes further: it matches your resume against a specific job posting and shows exactly which keywords you're missing.
How accurate is the ATS score?
It's a rule-based check against the same pitfalls that trip up real ATS parsers — tables, images, multi-column layouts, missing sections, weak or unquantified bullets. It's not a guarantee of passing any specific company's system, but it catches the mistakes that cause resumes to get misread most often.
Is this a free alternative to Jobscan or similar paid tools?
For a general ATS-readiness check, yes — this is free and unlimited with no account required, versus tools like Jobscan that gate scans behind a paid plan or a capped free tier. For keyword matching against a specific job posting, pair it with our AI Resume Tailor.
