Frequently Asked Questions
Is Resume Scan really free?
Yes. The resume builder, all 20 templates, PDF/DOCX/TXT export, and deterministic ATS scan are completely free. AI-enriched scans and targeting suggestions cost 1 credit each ($0.10-$0.20).
Do I need to sign up to use the free resume builder?
You can preview templates without signing up. To save your resume, export to PDF, or use AI features, a free account is required (email or Google sign-in).
What resume formats can I export?
You can export your resume as PDF (pixel-identical to the preview), DOCX (for editing in Word), or plain TXT (for copy-pasting into application forms).
Are the resume templates ATS-friendly?
Yes. All 20 templates use single-column or two-column layouts with standard section headings, clean fonts, and no graphics that confuse ATS parsers. Each template passes our built-in ATS compatibility check.
Can I target my resume to a specific job description?
Yes. Upload your resume, paste a job description, and the AI will show you missing keywords, suggest rewrites, and score each suggestion by confidence (real experience vs. aspirational).
How is this different from FlowCV or ResumeWorded?
Resume Scan combines a builder, ATS checker, AI targeting, and application tracker in one tool. You get per-suggestion confidence scoring (showing what is real vs. made up), shareable match reports, and pay-as-you-go pricing instead of subscriptions.
What file types can I upload?
PDF and DOCX files are supported for resume upload and ATS scanning.
Can I create multiple resumes for different jobs?
Yes. You can create unlimited resume drafts, each tailored to a different role. The tracker lets you assign resumes to specific applications.
