Free ATS Resume Checker
Find out in seconds whether applicant tracking systems can read your resume — and exactly what to fix. Upload a PDF or Word file, optionally paste the job description, and get a score with clear, specific advice.
Private by design: the check runs in your browser and your resume is never uploaded.
Compare with a job description (optional, recommended)
What the ATS checker looks at
- Readability — whether the text can be extracted at all. Scanned PDFs and text inside images score zero in most ATS software.
- Contact details — email, phone number and LinkedIn profile, in plain text.
- Standard sections — Experience, Education and Skills headings (and a Summary), plus dates for every role.
- Impact — bullet points that start with action verbs and include numbers, not lists of duties.
- Style — length, first-person pronouns, buzzwords, and India-specific habits such as personal details and a “Declaration” that private employers don't need.
- Keywords — with a job description, the share of its key skills and terms your resume contains.
How to raise your ATS score
- Use a single-column layout with standard headings and real, selectable text.
- Put your contact details at the top in plain text — not in the header, a table or an image.
- Describe each role in 3–5 bullets that start with a verb and show a result with a number.
- Mirror the job post's wording for skills you genuinely have.
- Keep it to one page as a fresher and two as an experienced professional. See the ATS-friendly resume guide (या हिंदी में पढ़ें).
Frequently asked questions
What is an ATS resume checker?
An ATS resume checker reads your resume the way an applicant tracking system does and flags what could stop it from being parsed or shortlisted: unreadable text, missing contact details or headings, undated roles, weak bullet points and missing keywords from the job post.
Is this ATS checker really free?
Yes. The check is free with no sign-up and no limit. It runs entirely in your browser, so your resume is never uploaded to a server. Opening your resume in the builder to fix it is free too.
What is a good ATS score?
Aim for 80 or above on this checker. Scores between 60 and 80 usually mean a few fixable issues such as missing numbers in bullet points or a missing section heading. Every ATS is different, so treat the score as a guide and fix the specific issues listed.
Why does my PDF show no readable text?
If your PDF was scanned or exported as an image, it contains pictures of words rather than text. Most ATS software cannot read it. Export the resume again from Word, Google Docs or a resume builder so the text is selectable.
How do I improve my resume's keyword match?
Paste the job description into the optional box to see which of its key terms your resume is missing. Add the ones that are genuinely true for you to your skills section and bullet points, using the same wording as the job post.
