Build an ATS-ready resume without handing it to anyone
My ATS Resume parses, scores and rewrites your resume entirely inside your browser. No account, no server, no copy of your work history sitting in someone else’s database. 50 ATS-friendly templates, free.
No sign-up · No credit card · No watermark · PDF and Word download
Most resume builders upload your life story. This one doesn’t.
Your resume holds your address, your salary history, your employment gaps and every place you’ve worked. That is a lot to hand over for a PDF. So we built the parser to run where the file already is — on your machine.
The usual way
Typical online resume builder
- You upload your resume to their server
- It’s parsed and stored in their database
- You create an account to get it back
- Your data lives there after you leave — and in every backup
Your history is now someone else’s asset.
My ATS Resume
Everything happens in this tab
- Your file is read by JavaScript in your browser
- Parsing and scoring run on your own CPU
- Drafts save to your browser’s local storage — not our disk
- Close the tab and clear it, and it is genuinely gone
There is no copy to leak, sell or subpoena.
Three things that decide whether you get read
Not a template gallery with a text box. The parts below are where applications are actually won and lost.
Formats that survive an automated parser
An applicant tracking system is a database with a parser attached. It reads text, guesses which lump is your job title, and writes it into a field. Visual cleverness is what makes it guess wrong.
Every template here is built single-column, in system fonts that render identically on the employer’s machine — and the builder flags any layout choice that tends to confuse a parser before you commit to it.
- Single-column structure so text is read in the order you wrote it
- Safe system fonts — Arial, Calibri, Georgia, Helvetica — never embedded exotics
- No layout tables, sidebars or text inside images, the three classic parser breakers
- Real headings and real dates, so sections map to the right fields
Bullets rewritten into something a recruiter can weigh
Most bullet points describe a job description rather than a person. The rewriter strips the padding, moves a strong verb to the front, and drops the first-person pronouns that no resume needs.
It runs on the same local engine as everything else — your sentences are never sent anywhere to be processed.
- Action verb first — owned, rebuilt, negotiated, cut, shipped
- No “responsible for”, no “helped with”, no “various tasks”
- First person removed so bullets stay in resume register
- Prompts you for a number wherever a claim would land harder with one
I was responsible for handling the monthly reporting process and helping the team with various tasks during close.
Owned monthly reporting for a team of nine; cut close time from nine days to five.
Match the advert, then let it write the cover letter
Paste the job description. The builder pulls out the terms that actually carry weight, shows you which ones your resume already earns and which it misses, and scores the fit as you edit.
When the resume is right, the cover letter writes itself from the data already in it — ten formats, from a classic application to a referral note or a follow-up nudge.
- Live match score that moves as you rewrite
- Missing keywords surfaced, never auto-stuffed — you decide what is honest
- Cover letters built from your own resume data, not a blank template
- Dictate any field by voice in 63 languages if typing is the bottleneck
From nothing to a finished PDF in about ten minutes
Bring what you have
Import an existing resume, paste it as plain text, or just talk — dictation fills the fields for you. The file is read locally; it never leaves the tab.
Fix what the parser hates
Pick a template, let the rewriter tighten your bullets, and watch the ATS score respond. Warnings appear the moment a choice would confuse a parser.

Common questions
If something isn't covered here, email and I'll answer it.
What does ATS-friendly actually mean?
Applicant tracking software reads your file and tries to sort it into fields — name, employer, dates, skills. If the layout confuses it, information lands in the wrong place or vanishes.
Single-column layouts, standard section headings, real text rather than images, and common fonts are what keep parsing reliable. Every template here follows those rules.
Is it really free? What is the catch?
Yes. Every template, every feature, unlimited downloads, no watermark, no account and no card. There is no paid tier and nothing is held back.
Do I need an account?
No. Your resume saves in your own browser. Nothing is sent anywhere, which also means clearing your browser data will erase it — download a copy when you're happy with it.
Should I use a two-column template?
Generally no. Two-column resumes look better on screen and are the most common reason a CV parses badly — the scanner reads across the page, so your job titles get interleaved with your skills. A few sidebar and two-column layouts are included for roles where a person reads every application, and they carry a lower ATS score so the trade-off is visible.
If you're applying somewhere design matters and a human reviews every application, a two-column layout is defensible. For anything going through software, it's a risk with no upside.
How does job matching work?
Paste the advert. It pulls out the terms that carry meaning — skills, tools, responsibilities — and checks which appear in your resume. You get a match percentage and the missing words.
Add the ones that are genuinely true of you. Keyword-stuffing gets you past the filter and caught in the interview, which is a worse outcome than not applying.
Will this guarantee I get an interview?
No, and be suspicious of anything that says otherwise. This gets your resume read rather than discarded on a technicality. What it says about you is still what decides the outcome.
Your resume is nobody else’s business
Open the builder, paste what you have, and have an ATS-ready PDF before the kettle boils.
