How it works
From pasted text to finished PDF
Step 1
Bring your resume
Paste plain text or upload the PDF or Word file you already have. No blank page, no 40-field wizard.
Step 2
Everything lands in place
Roles, companies, dates, bullets, education, and skills are parsed into the right fields. You fix wording, not formatting.
Step 3
Check, tailor, download
Watch the live ATS score, tailor to a job description with AI, pick a template, and download the PDF.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Is it actually free?
Yes. The full builder, all 24 templates, all accent colors, import, ATS score, cover letters, the job tracker, and PDF and Word export are free. Free accounts keep 5 saved resumes and 5 AI actions a day, and free exports carry a small 'Made with ResumeWave' credit line. Pro lifts all three.
What does Pro get me?
Watermark-free exports and unlimited AI. Free accounts get 5 AI actions a day: summary rewrite, grammar fixes, tailoring to a job description, cover letters, and interview prep. Cancel anytime from your account - most people keep it just for the length of a job search.
Is the PDF really ATS-safe?
9 of our 24 templates are single column with standard fonts, so the reading order a parser sees matches what a human sees - they carry an ATS-safe badge. The 15 visual layouts keep real extractable text too. The live score runs 9 concrete checks on your content as you type, plus a keyword check once you paste a job description.
Can I import my existing resume?
Yes - upload a PDF or Word file, or paste plain text. The parser splits it into roles, dates, bullets, education, and skills automatically, and you edit from there.
What happens to my data?
Imported resume content is wiped after 7 days. Your account stores only your email, a hashed password, and the resumes you choose to save. We don't sell data. Details in the privacy policy.
Do I need an account?
Not to build, score and preview. A free account is asked when you download, so your file and resumes stay tied to you - and to save, share a public link, or buy Pro.
Ready when your resume is.
Start free. Go Pro when the deadline shows up - and cancel it when the offer letter does.
