What does an ATS resume checker do?

It simulates the first stage of an applicant tracking system: extracting text, finding sections, and checking for common failures. It then estimates how well your content fits a role.

Resumaxing checks readability, contact details, structure, impact, formatting, and (when you add a job description) keyword match.

What causes a low ATS score?

  • Image-based or scanned PDFs
  • Multi-column layouts and text boxes
  • Nonstandard section headings
  • Missing dates or contact info
  • Bullets with no numbers or outcomes
  • Low overlap with the job description

How to use the checker

  1. Upload your resume PDF or paste the text.
  2. Optionally paste the job description.
  3. Review your score and fix the top issues first.
  4. Re-scan after each round of edits.

FAQ

What is an ATS resume checker?

An ATS resume checker analyses your resume the way applicant tracking software might: whether the text can be extracted, whether sections are detected, and how well your content matches a job. Resumaxing gives you a score and a prioritised fix list in about 30 seconds.

Is Resumaxing really free?

Yes. The scan and your score are free with no signup. A short email unlocks the complete fix checklist. Paid rewrite tools are on the way and will always be optional.

Is my resume uploaded to a server?

No. The analysis runs entirely in your browser. Your resume text is not sent to our servers. (PDF reading uses a library loaded from a public CDN, which does not receive your file.)
