Check your resume and understand the ATS report
Upload a PDF, run the free audit, and turn your score and findings into useful fixes.
Before you start
Sign in and prepare a PDF no larger than 5 MB. Resume Checker processes the uploaded file for analysis but does not save it as an editable account resume.
You may add a target role, industry, or job description to make the analysis more specific.
Run the check
- Open Resume Checker.
- Select your PDF.
- Add optional job context.
- Start the analysis and keep the page open until the report appears.
A Free account includes one detailed audit and one score-only recheck per day. QuickCV explains locked Pro details before asking you to upgrade.
Read the report
Begin with the overall score, then review strengths, weak areas, and the highest-priority finding. Category results cover formatting, keywords, impact, skills, experience, education, and other visible checks.
Treat the score as a diagnostic, not a guarantee that a recruiter or ATS will accept the resume. Read the finding and suggestion before changing content.
Recover from an error
For extraction or analysis failure, confirm the PDF opens normally, is within 5 MB, and contains selectable text, then retry once. For a failed recheck, keep the existing report and try later rather than uploading repeatedly.
