What the scan checks
Upload a PDF and the scanner reads the text out of it, the way resume-parsing software has to before it can do anything else. Then it shows you:
- Text extraction: how many pages and words came out of the PDF. Almost no text usually means a scan or an image.
- Section headings: whether Experience, Education and Skills headings are found, under common names such as Work Experience, Employment History, Academic Background, Technical Skills or Core Competencies.
- Contact details: whether your name, an email address and a phone number can be read as plain text.
- Corrupted characters: text that came out as replacement characters, usually from fonts that do not extract cleanly.
- Dates: whether numeric dates (01/2023) are mixed with written months (Jan 2023).
- Ranked fixes: each problem with a suggested fix, marked critical, warning or info.
The ATS resume checker page shows a sample report and the exact messages the check uses.
What happens to your resume
There is no sign-up. Your PDF (up to 10 MB) is opened in your browser with pdf.js, Mozilla's open-source PDF library, and the file is not uploaded to Resumity.
If you paste text instead, the quick score is calculated in your browser, and the text is also sent to an AI provider for written suggestions. The privacy policy covers what happens to data in an account.
Pasted text: the quick score
Pasted text gets a score out of 100 labelled “Resume signals”. It starts at 50 and moves up or down for recognized section headings, skills from a built-in list, and how many experience bullets contain numbers and action verbs. It is a directional check of structure and evidence, not an employer cutoff. The ATS score checker guide lists every rule and its points.
What the scan does not do
- It does not compare your resume with a job description. For a match score and missing keywords, use the resume keyword scanner, which needs a free account and uses 2 AI credits per match.
- It does not simulate any vendor's applicant tracking system. We did not test commercial systems such as Workday, Greenhouse or Lever; our template study used open-source PDF text extractors only.
- It reads PDF files only. For a Word document, export it as a PDF or paste the text.
- No result guarantees an interview or predicts how an employer will rank you.
