Why ATS-friendly matters

Most companies use an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) — software that parses resumes before any human sees them. A resume that uses tables, text boxes, multi-column layouts, header/footer regions, or images for text often comes out garbled, causing your application to be filtered out before review.

This builder applies a checklist of well-known ATS rules to every export: standard section headings, single-column flow, web-safe fonts, real selectable text, plain bullets, and reverse-chronological ordering. The optional designed templates remain available for human-reviewed channels (LinkedIn DMs, recruiter follow-ups, portfolio sites).

What this builder does

  • Structured editor — one source of truth for your resume data, separate from any layout.
  • Drag-to-reorder — rearrange experience, education, skills, and projects in seconds.
  • ATS Score — live 0–100 score with concrete fixes (missing metrics, weak verbs, length, etc.).
  • One-click templates — switch designs without re-entering content.
  • Multi-format export — PDF (ATS), PDF (designed), DOCX, JSON, or browser print.
  • Portable JSON — export and re-import using the open JSON Resume schema.

Privacy

Your resume never leaves your machine. There is no signup, no upload, no analytics on your content. Everything — the form, the preview, the PDF generation — runs in JavaScript in your browser. Clearing your browser storage clears your saved resume.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes — completely free, with no watermarks on exports, no paywalled templates, and no signup. The tool is part of the free utilities offered by Ur Next Door.
An ATS-friendly resume is structured so that an Applicant Tracking System can parse it correctly. That means single-column layout, standard section names (Summary, Experience, Education, Skills), web-safe fonts (Arial, Calibri, Times New Roman), real text instead of images, and no tables or text boxes. Our default template enforces these rules; the ATS export converts any template down to a single-column safe version.
Only in your browser's local storage on this device. Nothing is sent to a server. To move your resume to another device, export it as JSON and import it on the new browser.
Yes. Your content is stored separately from the layout. Switching templates re-renders the same data using a different design — nothing is lost.
Use PDF (ATS) for online applications — it preserves text selection and uses a layout that ATS parsers can read. Use PDF (Designed) only for human-reviewed channels (recruiter email, LinkedIn DM, portfolio link), since some designed templates use multi-column layouts that ATS may not parse cleanly.
For most candidates, one page is ideal; two pages are acceptable for senior roles or 10+ years of experience. The ATS Score widget warns you when your resume exceeds two pages, since longer resumes often get truncated by parsers and skimmed by recruiters.
