Free ATS resume checker: see what the ATS actually reads
ATS X-Ray opens your resume PDF the way an applicant tracking system does and shows the raw text it gets. It flags merged bullets, columns read in the wrong order, garbled characters from icon fonts, links that disappear and sections a parser cannot find. The check runs entirely in your browser; the file is never uploaded.
How to use ATS Resume Checker
- Drop your resume PDF into ATS X-Ray.
- Read the extracted text stream exactly as a parser receives it.
- Fix each failed check: reading order, characters, links, sections and dates.
- Re-export and run it again until every check passes.
Frequently asked questions
How do I check if my resume is ATS friendly?
Upload the PDF to ATS X-Ray. If the extracted text keeps your sections in order, with readable characters and working links, an ATS will parse it.
Is my resume uploaded anywhere?
No. Parsing runs in your browser and the file never leaves your device.
Why does my two-column resume fail?
Many parsers read straight across the page, mixing the left and right columns line by line. X-Ray shows when that happens.
