What is ATS and why does it matter?
An ATS (Applicant Tracking System) automatically reads and filters job applications. If your resume is multi-column, heavy with icons, or uses tables, the ATS may misread it and your application may never reach a recruiter. This tool scores how cleanly your resume is parsed by ATS software.
How is the score calculated?
We check machine-readable text, contact information, standard section headings (Experience / Education / Skills), bullet points, dates, and length. For AI analysis and automated fixes, you can sign up for free.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an ATS?
An ATS (Applicant Tracking System) is software companies use to automatically read and filter incoming resumes. Most large employers run applications through an ATS first; resumes it cannot parse never reach a human recruiter.
How do I know if my resume is ATS-compatible?
Upload your resume on this page for free. It is instantly scored on machine readability, contact information, standard section headings, bullet points, dates, and length. If your score is low, you'll see exactly which areas need improvement.
How do I create an ATS-friendly resume?
Use a single-column layout, avoid tables and text boxes, include standard headings (Experience, Education, Skills), write information as plain text, choose a common font, and save the file as a text-based PDF. Keep icons, graphics, and photos to a minimum.
What ATS score should I aim for?
A score of 80 or above is generally considered strong. 55–80 is acceptable but needs improvement; below 55 means you should fix your resume before applying. The score measures format — the strength of your content is a separate matter.
Is this ATS checker free?
Yes, completely free with no sign-up required. Upload your resume and instantly see your score and any issues. For detailed AI analysis and automated fixes, you can create a free account.
Do photos or tables affect ATS parsing?
Yes. Photos, tables, multi-column layouts, text boxes, and graphics can cause an ATS to misread or entirely miss text. For the safest ATS compatibility, use a clean, single-column layout.
