Free resume checker
Upload your resume and get the same 0–100 score the studio uses, across five dimensions, with the specific fixes rather than vibes. Your file is parsed, scored and discarded in the same request.
What the score actually measures
Five dimensions, weighted. The number on its own is not the useful part; the findings under it are.
Why this one is free when the others are not
Most resume checkers are the front of a funnel: they show you a score, tell you there are twelve problems, and then ask for a card before naming any of them. The score exists to create the anxiety the paywall then charges to relieve.
We show the findings because a resume score without the fixes is not worth anything. What you pay for here, if you ever pay at all, is the curated template set and the extras. Never the export, never the score, and never the door.
Questions
Is this resume checker really free?
Yes. Three checks a day per device, no account, no card, no email required. The score and the fixes are the product, not a teaser for them. We make money from Pro templates and extras, never from the door.
Do you store my resume?
No. The file is parsed, scored and discarded inside the same request. We keep neither the document nor its contents, which is also why you cannot come back tomorrow and see your old report.
Is this an ATS checker?
Partly, and we would rather be honest about the difference. Contact & format covers whether your structure survives a parser, so you will find out if the layout is a problem. But there is no single 'the ATS' to test against — every employer configures theirs differently, and any tool quoting you an exact ATS pass rate is guessing. The other four dimensions are about whether a human keeps reading once it parses.
Do applicant tracking systems reject 75% of resumes automatically?
That statistic circulates everywhere without a credible source. Most systems rank and surface rather than auto-reject, and a person makes the call. Bad parsing hurts by making your resume incomplete in the employer's database, not by triggering an automatic rejection.
What file formats can I upload?
PDF, DOCX, TXT, and a LinkedIn data-export ZIP. There is also a paste tab if you would rather not upload a file at all. Maximum 5 MB.
Will the score tell me what to actually change?
That is the point. Each finding names the section, what is wrong, and what to do instead. The top three are shown free; the rest open in the studio, where you can fix them with the score updating as you type.
