Find missing basics, see evidence from your file and get clear next steps. The optional basics score counts only what is detected in the readable text. This tool checks text, not ATS approval or resume quality.
Your file stays in your browser
This checker reads your PDF or Word file on this device. It does not upload or store your resume or job description. It loads reading software from this website. Ordinary website visit statistics still apply. Use Clear when finished and close this tab on a shared device.
Maximum 8 MB and 10 PDF pages. Photos and scanned PDFs need a text version. Old .doc files are not supported.
Your resume checklist
Found means a pattern was detected, not that it is good or true. Missing means not found in the extracted text, not proof it is absent from your file. Cannot tell means a manual review is needed.
Resume basics score
Optional. This counts only the basics detected in the readable text above.
Completeness of resume basics only - not an ATS score, a quality rating or a truth check.
| Check | Points | Result |

What this score is and is not
88 points across 8 basic checks: email 10, phone 10, education 12, skills 12, experience or projects 16, action words 10, specific results 10, dates 8. A check earns its points only when found in the readable text. A check that could not run earns 0 and shows "Not checked" - those points are unverified, not proven missing, and the score is then provisional. A made-up resume with the right headings can score high, and a good resume with unusual headings can score low. This is a chosen checklist of basics, not an industry standard, an ATS test, or a measure of how good the resume is. Job keyword matches stay outside this score.
What to do next
Job keywords
Green = found in extracted text. Red = not found. These are simple word matches, not job-fit or ATS rankings. Only add a word if it is true for you. Related words and phrases may be missed.
The text we read
Compare this with your original file. Missing details or mixed-up columns can make the checks wrong. Text shown here stays on this page.

See our resume serviceWhat this tool cannot tell you
- This is a rule-based text checklist, not an official ATS test. It cannot promise interviews, shortlisting or an ATS pass.
- It cannot judge whether your experience is true, your writing is persuasive, or your resume is right for a role. It is not an AI or human resume review.
- It cannot verify visual design, columns, tables or correct reading order. A readable file can still have layout problems.
- Freshers can use education, internships, volunteering and projects. Paid work is not required.
- Most checks look for English headings and words. Other languages or unusual headings may need a manual check.
What this checklist looks for in your resume
Every result shows the evidence from your own file, so you can see what was read and decide what to fix:
- Core sections: education, skills, and experience or projects - found or missing, with the exact heading that was recognised and the text below it.
- Contact basics: a phone number and email, checked in the extracted text and file links.
- Dates: years found for your education and experience, so nothing looks undated.
- Vague wording: lines that say little on their own, worth replacing with what you did and the result.
- Job keywords: paste a job description and see which of its important words already appear in your resume.
- Honest warnings: if the file does not look like a resume at all, the tool says so instead of inventing a result.
It reads text only. It cannot judge design, truthfulness or ATS approval - those still need a human.
Frequently asked questions
Is this resume checker free?
Yes. It is completely free, needs no sign-up, and you can check as many files as you like.
Is my resume uploaded or stored anywhere?
No. Your PDF or Word file is read inside your own browser, on your own device. It is not uploaded, stored or shared. Ordinary website visit statistics still apply, like on any website.
Is this an ATS score?
No. It is a rule-based checklist of resume basics. No tool can promise an ATS pass, an interview or shortlisting - be careful with any checker that claims it can.
Which files can I check?
PDF and Word (.docx) files, up to 8 MB and 10 PDF pages. Scanned PDFs and photos have no readable text, so export a text PDF or use .docx. Old .doc files are not supported.
I am a fresher with no work experience. Can I still use it?
Yes. Education, internships, volunteering and projects all count, and the checklist reads them the same way as work experience.
Does it work for resumes in Odia or Hindi?
Only partly. Most checks look for English headings and words, so a resume in another language may show sections as missing even when they exist. Treat those results with care and check by hand.
Will fixing every point get my resume shortlisted?
No one can promise that. This tool helps you cover the basics recruiters and software look for first. What you write, and whether it fits the role, is still up to you or a human reviewer.
