## What the Studio does

- **Build resume:** Type into plain fields. The page lays itself out.
- **Review:** A score, a pin on every weak line, and the fix written out for you.
- **Job match:** Paste a job post. See what it asks for that your resume never says.
- **Job tracker:** Every application, where it stands, and what to do next.
- **X-Ray:** Your PDF, read back the way a parser reads it, word for word.

## Don’t freeze on the first question. Rehearse it out loud with Pip.

Pick the job. Pip asks what its posting will ask, follows up like a real interviewer, then tells you what landed and what to tighten. Your first call is free. Sign in first, no card needed. [Call Pip](https://atsprep.com/interview)

## Click any line and type. It’s the real editor.

1. Edit any line
2. Fix the pinned lines
3. Match a job post

## Software reads your resume before a person does

Most employers run your file through an applicant tracking system (ATS) first. Whatever it misreads, a recruiter never sees. Watch it read a sample resume.

## Questions, answered

### Does this show what every ATS will read?

X-Ray shows the text ATSPrep's PDF extractor recovers from your finished file, so you can catch missing text and reading-order problems before you send it. It is ATSPrep's own extractor rather than Workday, Greenhouse, or another vendor ATS.

### Is ATSPrep really free?

Yes, and the free plan never expires or asks for a card. Free: an ATS score out of 100 with up to 41 checks, your top 3 fixes and every missing keyword for a job post, with no sign-up; a free account adds every fix, 3 AI rewrites and unlimited PDF downloads with no watermark (Word files need ATSPrep Pro). ATSPrep Pro ($9 for 7 days, $12 a month, or $29 for 3 months) adds more AI edits, Fix all with AI, AI tailoring, Word downloads and all templates.

### Can I keep track of applications and resume versions?

Yes. Save up to 20 named resume versions in Studio and track up to 300 applications. Keep reusable achievements, map requirements to evidence, and explicitly record the saved resume content you submitted. Historical copies remain unchanged when you edit or delete their source versions. Workspace backups include documents; restore keeps them in a workspace archive without replacing your Studio draft. Sign in free if you want them synced across devices; there is no automatic application submission or email reminder.

### Can ATSPrep match my resume to a job description?

Yes. Paste a posting to see your job fit, each requirement met or missing, and the resume line behind every match. It reads for meaning by default, so a requirement said in other words still counts; switch to word for word anytime. Job fit is a guide to tailoring, not a hiring probability.

### Does my resume get uploaded to a server?

No. Your resume file is never uploaded: it opens in your browser, and Review scoring, X-Ray checks and PDF generation run there. To sort it into its parts and suggest fixes, its text, without your name or contact details, goes to our AI, which keeps nothing. An AI edit sends only the lines it works on. By default, when you add a job in the Studio, matching by meaning sends your resume's content lines and the posting's requirement lines once per version (you can switch it off); your name, email, phone, address and links are excluded, and nothing is stored.

### What file types can I upload to check my resume?

PDF, DOCX, TXT and Markdown. You can also paste plain text straight in. ATSPrep reads the file, extracts the content, and maps it into editable fields so you can fix problems rather than just being scored on them.
