Free tool
Will my resume get through applicant tracking systems?
Drop your resume as a PDF or Word file: the tool tells you, point by point, what an applicant tracking system (ATS) will read from it and what it may misread. No made-up score, just findings you can check. The file is read in your browser, without AI: it is neither uploaded nor kept.
To go further, the Trakrio extension prepares your application on every job you open.

Check your resume in 3 steps
Drop your resume
A PDF, a Word file (.docx) or a LibreOffice file, read in your browser. Or the resume saved by our resume builder.
Read the findings
Each point is marked good or to review, with what to do and the guide that explains it.
Fix it, then compare
Export the file again if needed, then compare your resume to a job to see which requirements it covers.
What the tool checks
The points recommended in our guide on resumes and applicant tracking systems.
- Readable text. A scanned resume or one made of images reaches the software empty. The tool checks that the text can be read, and warns when a page holds very little.
- File format. A PDF whose text can be selected or a .docx both work; a less common format fares worse.
- Contact details. Email and phone found in the body of the resume, not only in the document header, which many systems ignore. They are only shown to you.
- Section headings. Work experience, education, skills, languages: software splits your resume up using standard headings.
- Layout. Columns, tables, text boxes: anything that can scramble the reading order.
- Characters and dates. Icons instead of the word “Phone”, dates written several ways, shortened years.
- Results and length. The bullet points in your experience that give a measurable result, and the page count against the norm in your country.
Why no “ATS score”?
Because no applicant tracking system publishes its score, and each one applies the rules chosen by the employer. A score out of 100 would be made up. The tool sticks to what can be checked in your file: what will be read, and what risks being misread.
What the tool doesn’t do
- It doesn’t imitate any particular system: it checks what systems tend to misread, based on public recommendations.
- In a PDF it spots columns; tables and text boxes are spotted in Word and LibreOffice files.
- Section headings are recognized in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese.
- Years of experience are read from your dates: the suggested length is a guide, not a rule.
- It doesn’t compare your resume to a job: that’s what the resume and job comparison tool is for.
Going further
True, measurable results make an experience speak for itself: the XYZ formula. One, two or three pages depending on country and experience: how long a resume should be.

Frequently asked questions
Is my resume uploaded anywhere?
No. The file is read in your browser, without AI or a server, and nothing is kept. The contact details found are only shown to you.
Why doesn’t the tool give a score?
No applicant tracking system publishes its score: a number would be made up. The tool lists findings you can check in your file, each with what to do.
Do two-column resumes pass ATS?
Often, but not always: some systems read the page from edge to edge and mix the columns up. The tool tells you if it spots two; one column is the safest choice if you mostly apply online.
PDF or Word?
Follow the job ad’s instructions. Without any, a PDF whose text can be selected or a .docx both work. A scanned PDF or an image doesn’t.
My resume is in another language. Does it work?
Yes: section headings and dates are recognized in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian and Portuguese.
What should I do after the check?
Fix what’s marked to review, then compare your resume to a job to see which requirements it already covers. Our resume builder makes PDFs with real text and standard headings.
