About this tool

Resume checker & ATS scanner — free and private

Check whether your résumé is machine-readable by an ATS and tailored to a specific job — analyzed entirely in your browser. Your résumé, the file you least want to hand to a stranger, stays on your device — no document contents are sent to PaperFit.

How to check your resume

  1. Upload your résumé as a PDF or Word file, or paste the text.
  2. Optionally paste the job description to see keyword matches.
  3. Read your 0–100 score and the prioritized list of fixes.
  4. No document contents are sent to PaperFit — the whole analysis runs on your device.

What it does

  • ATS-readability check — flags scanned or image-only résumés a parser cannot read
  • Detects multi-column layouts that many ATS parsers scramble
  • Checks for standard sections (experience, education, skills) and contact details
  • Matches your résumé against a job description and lists the missing keywords

Common uses

  • Confirming an applicant-tracking system can actually read your résumé
  • Tailoring a résumé to a specific job posting before applying
  • A quick structural sanity check on formatting and length

Is it private?

Yes. Your résumé is read and analyzed entirely in your browser — no document contents are sent to PaperFit. For the one document that carries your name, address, and work history, that matters: no document contents are sent to PaperFit.

Frequently asked questions

Is my résumé uploaded anywhere?

No. The analysis runs in your browser, so no document contents are sent to PaperFit.

What file types can I check?

PDF and Word (.docx) files, or you can paste your résumé text directly.

Does it rewrite my résumé or write it for me?

No. It checks structure and ATS-readability and flags issues to fix. AI rewriting is planned for a future PaperFit Pro release.

What does “ATS-readable” mean?

Applicant tracking systems parse the text of your résumé. If your file is a scanned image, or uses a complex multi-column layout, the parser can miss or scramble your information — this tool catches that.

Can it match my résumé to a job?

Yes. Paste a job description and it highlights which keywords from the posting appear in your résumé and which are missing.

Is it really free?

Yes — no account, no sign-up, no watermark, and no document contents sent to PaperFit.
