What makes a resume ATS-friendly?

  • One column

    Keep a clear reading order. Side-by-side sections can mix together when a document is read as text.

  • No tables or text boxes

    Use ordinary paragraphs and bullets so important details don’t depend on a particular page layout.

  • Contact details in the body

    Keep your name, email and phone in the main document, where they’re easy to find.

  • Standard section headings

    Use familiar labels such as “Work Experience”, “Education” and “Skills”.

  • Real text, standard fonts

    Use selectable text for the details that matter. Keep labels written out and letters together.

  • Consistent dates

    Use the same month and year format for each role, with the most recent experience first.

A few questions,
answered.

Is ResumeFold free?

Yes. Templates, resume checks and downloads are free. There’s no subscription or watermark. The source code is available under the MIT License.

Do I need to sign up?

No. Start in the builder. Drafts save in this browser. Download a JSON backup if you want to keep a separate copy or move to another device.

Can I upload my existing resume?

Yes. Choose a PDF, DOCX or TXT up to 5 MB. ResumeFold reads it on your device. Check the extracted text before creating an editable draft.

Should I download a PDF or DOCX?

Follow the file requirements in the job posting. ResumeFold offers PDF and DOCX, so you can use the format requested.

Is my resume data private?

Files are read and drafts are saved in this browser. PDF and DOCX downloads are created on your device. Choosing Overleaf or approving the optional remote LaTeX compiler sends your source to that service.

What does the ATS score mean?

It’s a guide to common resume issues, based on ResumeFold’s own rules. It isn’t an employer’s score or a prediction of an interview. Review the suggestions and use the ones that fit your experience.
