A parser preview for your resume: upload a PDF or .docx and see the exact text an applicant tracking system extracts from it, in the order it reads them - plus every layout problem that loses information. Free forever, no account, and no AI touches your file.
At a glance
The output is your own resume as machine-readable text, in the order a parser reads it, with every layout problem quoted from the file itself. It is the least impressive-looking report on this site and the only one nobody argues with.
Evidence
Not a percentage and not a grade - the literal text extracted from your file, in the order it comes out. If your two-column layout interleaves your job titles with your dates, you do not have to take our word for it: it is right there, in your own words, wrong.
No AI, verifiably
No model, no third-party API, no outbound request of any kind while your file is being read. Every other resume tool on this site says what it sends and where; this one is the page where the answer is nothing.
A refusal
No applicant tracking system gives candidates a score, and nobody outside a company can see how its filters are set up. Any product showing you one invented it. This reports what your file does, which is a thing that can actually be checked.
Actually free
One check a day without signing in, four a day if you do - and signing in is optional forever. This tool makes no external call, so it costs us almost nothing to run and there is no upsell wired into it.
Deterministic
Every check runs in our own code against fixed rules. Nothing here depends on a model's mood, the time of day, or which server answered - so a fix you make is a difference you can measure by running it again.
No brand names in this table on purpose. Prices and feature lists in this category move every few months, and a stale figure in somebody else’s column would undermine the one thing this page is actually selling - that its output is your own file and you can check every word of it.
A clean parse is the floor, not the goal. This tool can tell you every word of your resume came out in the right order. It cannot tell you whether those words are worth reading - that is a different question, and the Readiness Report is the tool that answers it.
Score the writing tooYour file is processed to produce this result and then deleted - within 24 hours if you are not signed in, within 30 days if you are. Every result here is computed deterministically in our own code, never by an AI model, so the same file always produces the same report. This tool is also the one place we can promise more than deletion: no AI model is on any code path, and no outbound request of any kind is made while your file is being processed.

What it checks, what it deliberately does not, and how to read the output.
This is a deterministic parseability check, and deliberately nothing more. It extracts the text from your file the way a parser does, then reports what it found: whether the document is a two-column layout that scrambles in reading order, whether your contact block is machine-readable, whether section headings are recognisable, whether dates parse, and whether any of your content is trapped inside an image.
The centrepiece of the output is not a checklist. It is a panel showing the raw extracted text, verbatim, in the order a parser reads it. Nobody argues with a score; everybody believes their own resume rendered as garbled text.
The single most common reason a well-written resume fails machine screening is a two-column template. A human reads the sidebar as a sidebar; a parser reads whatever the PDF's internal drawing order gives it, which frequently interleaves your skills list into the middle of a job description.
We detect this by extracting twice - once in the document's default order, once sorted by position on the page - and comparing. When the two disagree materially, the layout is scrambling, and we show you both versions so you can see it for yourself rather than take our word for it.
Some resumes are exported as a single flattened image, usually from a design tool. Those files are invisible to every applicant tracking system in existence - not scored badly, not read at all. When we find no extractable text, we say exactly that and treat it as the most important result this tool can produce, rather than showing you a generic upload error.
There is no OCR here, and that is intentional. Reading your image with OCR would tell you what the picture says, which is not the question. The question is what the parser gets, and the parser gets nothing.
It will not score your resume out of 100, judge your writing, or suggest rewrites. No AI model is involved on any code path, and no outbound network request is made while your file is being processed. It is a narrow, boring, permanently free tool - and that narrowness is precisely why its output is trustworthy.
The ones that come up before somebody uploads anything.
No. The checker runs for anonymous visitors, costs zero credits on every path including retries and errors, and works with cookies disabled.
No, because there is no such thing. Applicant tracking systems parse and index resumes; they do not hand out candidate-facing scores. This tool reports what parsed and what did not, which is the part you can actually act on.
No. This tool makes no outbound HTTP request of any kind while processing your file - it is the only tool in our catalogue with zero external data flow, and that is worth stating plainly.
Anonymous uploads and their extracted text are deleted within 24 hours. If you are signed in, they are kept for 30 days so your history is useful, then deleted.
PDF and .docx, up to 10 MB and 10 pages. Legacy .doc is rejected with a clear message rather than guessed at, because the extraction for that format is unreliable and a confidently wrong reading is worse than a refusal.
Both words describe it, and the distinction is worth making. The engine is a parser: it extracts the text an applicant tracking system would extract and shows it to you verbatim. The tool is a checker: it then tells you which of those extraction results will cost you information, and what to change. We call it a checker because that is the job you came here to do - but the parsed output is right there at the top of the report, and it is deliberately the largest thing on the page.

Every automated check has a ceiling: it can tell you a bullet has no number in it, but it cannot decide which of your projects is worth two lines and which is worth six. A Revquix resume review is written by a person who hires for your target role.
