# ATS Scanner Pro

> Compare your resume with any job description. See missing keywords, formatting that breaks ATS parsing, and what to fix first. Free, unlimited and private.

ATS Scanner Pro (https://atsscannerpro.com) is a free ATS resume checker. A user pastes a job description and uploads a resume (PDF, DOCX or TXT) or pastes resume text. The analysis runs entirely in the user's browser; files are not uploaded and no AI model is called. There is no sign-up and no scan limit.

What it reports:
- A 0–100 score: keywords 45, parsing 20, bullet impact 15, job title 10, sections 10. Formula: https://atsscannerpro.com/methodology
- Keywords from the posting split into required, nice-to-have and mentioned; found, missing, or similar wording; terms found only in the skills list
- Alias matching (e.g. k8s = Kubernetes, RESTful = REST APIs, SEO = Search Engine Optimization)
- Formatting checks: multi-column layout measured from PDF text positions, tables and images in DOCX, missing email/phone, non-standard headings, missing dates, image-only PDFs, broken font encoding, keyword stuffing
- Bullet analysis: share of bullets with numbers and with action verbs; weak openers such as "responsible for"
- A prioritised list of fixes

The score is the site's own estimate, not a prediction of any employer's ATS. The site advises adding only skills the candidate actually has.
