A two column resume with the usual problems, so you can see what this does before you upload your own.
Before a person reads your resume, software does. It opens the file, pulls out whatever text it can, and tries to work out where your last job started and ended. If your layout has two columns, the extractor often reads straight across both of them, so a job title ends up welded to a skill from the sidebar. If your contact details sit in the page header, some parsers drop them entirely. If your icons come from a symbol font, they arrive as unreadable characters sitting in the middle of your phone number.
None of that is visible to you, because on your screen the file looks exactly as you designed it. So this tool shows you the other version: the plain stream of text extracted from your own file, in the order it is stored. Most people find at least one thing they did not know was happening.
Then it rebuilds the same content as a single column document with real text and standard headings, and you can edit anything that came across wrong before you export it. Your file is read in your browser and never sent to a server.
Drop in the file you actually send
PDF or DOCX. It is read in your browser using the same kind of text extraction a parser uses, and it is never uploaded to us.
Read what the software reads
The plain text pulled out of your file, in the order it is stored. Interleaved columns, stray symbols and missing contact details all become visible here.
See what happens and what gets fixed
Each finding says what the file does on the way in, and what the rebuilt version does instead. No score, because a percentage would be a number we invented.
Export the clean version
One column, real text, standard headings, contact details in the body. Edit any section that came across wrong, then download the PDF.
These are the failures that cost people interviews without ever showing up on their own screen.
What the parser gets
Result
Every item is something observable in your file, which means you can verify each one against the extracted text yourself.
Is there any readable text at all
A scan, a photo or an image export has no text layer, so the whole application arrives blank. This is the one failure that is total.
Do columns run together
Two blocks of text sharing a line, far apart across the page, come out interleaved.
Are contact details reachable
Header and footer content is skipped by a number of parsers, so a phone number that only lives up there may as well not exist.
Are tables used for layout
Cells are emitted in the order they are stored, which is rarely the order you read them in.
Do icon characters leak into the text
Symbol fonts leave behind characters that have no letter behind them.
Are the section headings recognisable
Matchers look for Experience, Education and Skills. A creative heading is not wrong, it is just invisible.
How long is the file
Past two pages, most screeners stop.
Why there is no score here
Every tool in this category gives you a percentage. There is no standard behind those numbers: each site invents its own weighting, and the score mostly exists to make you anxious enough to subscribe. What can actually be observed is what a parser extracts from your file. So that is what this shows you, in full, next to the specific thing that caused each problem. You can read the extracted text and check every claim yourself, which is not something a percentage lets you do. The same reasoning shapes the fix. A list of things wrong with your resume is homework. The rebuilt document is the work, and it is on screen for free whether you buy the clean file or not.
