ATS-safe CV builder
Build a CV in an editor whose every export is checked by our own parser.
- JSON Resume schema: A standard format for import and export.
- Editor form: Every field is editable.
- Templates: Dense, plain and modern PDF templates.
- Closed-loop validation: Every export runs through our own parser and the result is shown to you. CI tests assert that all templates score Parseability 25/25.
- DOCX export: Opens correctly in Word and LibreOffice.
- Import an existing CV: Parse a PDF or DOCX into the editor. Fields that cannot be extracted are flagged for manual completion, never invented.
What makes the CV builder ATS friendly?
The ATS friendly CV builder is ATS friendly because every export is rendered, read back through this tool's own parser and graded before it downloads. The templates are built as one column of plain text runs with no tables and hyphen bullets, because those survive text extraction.
You fill in a form based on the JSON Resume standard, so every field an applicant tracking system can store has a place. Nothing is filled in for you, and a field you clear is removed rather than left empty. You can download or open your resume as JSON Resume, so the data is never locked in.
How does the check before download work?
Before a download starts, the builder renders the file, extracts its text like a hiring system would and reports the Parseability score. Full marks, 25 of 25, start the download. Anything less stops and lists every finding that cost a point.
You can still choose to download anyway. Everything in this loop, the rendering, the extraction and the scoring, runs on your device. Choose between three PDF templates and a Word file.
| Format | Layout | Checked before download |
|---|---|---|
| Dense PDF | One page workhorse: small type, tight spacing, uppercase headings | Yes |
| Plain PDF | Larger type, sentence-case headings, no ornament | Yes |
| Modern PDF | Large name, rule under it, hierarchy by size and weight | Yes |
| Word document (DOCX) | Editable file | Yes |
Can I import my existing CV into the builder?
Yes, the builder can open a PDF or DOCX and turn it into editable fields. Every imported string is a verbatim slice of your document, and nothing is invented.
A field the rules cannot find stays empty and is counted as missing. A field built by a guess, such as a role line split on a comma, gets a check this marker so you review it. Dates are parsed by the same engine as the analyzer and stored as year and month. A summary tells you how many fields need review and how many could not be extracted.
Where is my CV draft stored, and what does the builder not do?
The builder keeps your draft in this browser on your device and says when it was saved. If the browser refuses local storage, it warns you to download the draft before leaving.
The builder does not write your content, and a passing check is a readability result, not a promise about any particular employer. When you analyse a CV in the analyzer, its file, text and result are stored on the server for 12 months, then deleted.
