Same words a layout a parser can read.

  • One column

    A sidebar or a second column moves into a single column, top to bottom.

  • Real text

    Tables become plain lines, and a scanned page becomes text.

  • What still needs you

    A missing email, a job with no dates: listed, each with its fix.

What converting changes, and what it leaves alone.

How do I convert my resume to an ATS-friendly format?

Drop your PDF or Word file here. It's read on your device and rebuilt in one column of real text, with standard headings and each job's dates beside it. Open it in the Studio to fix anything it flagged, then download it.

Is the ATS resume converter free?

Yes. Converting and editing are free with no sign-up. Downloading the finished PDF takes a free account, and it has no watermark. A Word file needs ATSPrep Pro.

What does converting change?

The layout, never your words. Two columns become one, table cells become plain lines, and text that was a picture becomes real text. Anything a parser still can't read, like a missing email or a job with no dates, is listed for you to fix.

Does it work on a scanned resume?

Yes. If the file has no text layer, the picture is read on your device and rebuilt as real text. Check the result closely: reading a picture can mistake a letter.

Will the converted resume pass every ATS?

No tool can promise that: each employer sets up its own system. What you get is one column of real text, the layout that kept its reading order in our PDF extraction study.

Is my resume uploaded?

No. The file is read in your browser and never leaves your device. If you open it in the Studio, its text goes to our AI for suggestions. We never sell it or train AI on it.

Finish it in the Studio.

Fix what it flagged, pick a design and download a clean PDF. The Studio checks every line as you edit.
