How Resume Checker works
Upload a PDF, DOCX, or TXT resume — or paste the text directly — and get a score plus up to three issues worth addressing first. You see the result before PixelDock asks for any contact details, and you can leave without creating an account.
Upload or paste your resume
Upload a PDF, DOCX, or TXT file, or paste the text directly into the box. Older .doc files aren't supported yet — open the file and paste the text across instead.
See the score first
You get a diagnostic score out of 100 covering ATS-readiness and general writing quality. It is not the proprietary score from a particular employer's ATS, and it cannot predict whether a recruiter will select you.
Choose whether you want follow-up
Alongside the score you get up to three supported issues and, where applicable, a small wording simplification from your original text. Only after that result do you see an optional form for PixelDock resume-improvement follow-up; your score does not depend on filling it in.
What the review looks at
- Whether section headings and structure follow common, widely-parsed conventions
- Keywords relevant to the target role, when you name one
- Bullets that list duties where they could show measurable results
- Vague or filler phrasing that crowds out your strongest detail
- A wording simplification where a supported edit applies to your original text
Common questions
- Is the free resume check actually free?
- Yes. There is no card, no trial, no account, and no name or email required to see the score. Your result appears on-screen after you submit the resume. Afterward, you can optionally add your contact details if you want PixelDock follow-up and resume-improvement tips.
- How long does my resume need to be?
- Use between 200 and 12,000 characters of real resume text. Text outside these limits is not scored: you will see a message asking you to add detail or shorten it. We do not silently cut off long resumes.
- Why is my score lower than I expected?
- The score is a diagnostic, not a pass/fail grade. It reflects the structure, clarity and role relevance visible in the text you provide. Use the listed issues as the useful part of the result rather than treating a particular number as an employer decision.
- Do you store the resume I paste?
- The scoring step itself does not create a PixelDock lead record and does not require your contact details. If you choose the optional follow-up after seeing your result, a short resume snippet is stored with the details you submit so follow-up can be relevant. See the privacy and data-retention policies for the full details.
- Can I run it more than once?
- Yes, though the free check is rate-limited to a few runs in a short window per visitor, because each one costs real AI credits. If you hit the limit, wait a few minutes and try again.
- Does a high score guarantee an interview?
- No. The PixelDock score is an internal diagnostic designed to highlight potential resume issues and improvement opportunities — not the exact score an employer's ATS would produce. Different employers and ATS platforms evaluate the same resume differently, and a strong score here doesn't guarantee recruiter review or an interview.
