Common questions

Is an ATS scanner the same as an ATS checker?

On ResumeGrade, yes. We use one parser and one rubric; only the page title and FAQs change to match how you searched.

Can I use this as a free ATS scanner for PDF only?

PDF and DOCX are both supported up to 5 MB. PDF is usually safer because formatting is fixed.

How fast is the ATS scan?

Most resumes finish in a few seconds. You will see a loading state, then the email gate before the full report.

What file types does the free ATS scanner accept?

Upload PDF or DOCX up to 5 MB. PDF is usually the safest for ATS because layout is fixed. DOCX is accepted but can reflow in some parsers.
