Free CV scanner
Upload a PDF and Atsy tells you whether an applicant tracking system can read it, what it will get wrong, and exactly what to change — with the evidence, in under a minute. No paywall, no credits, no ads.
The X-ray
A CV is ink on paper. An applicant tracking system turns it into a data record, and the order it reads in is stored inside the file — not the order your eye follows. Here is a two-column CV, and the text a parser extracts from it.

Header and footer bands are often skipped entirely, so an email and phone can vanish. Move them into the body of the first page.

+1 point · check B06The file stores this text in an order that runs across the gutter, so extraction interleaves the columns — that is the machine view, not a simulation. Use one column.
gutter at x=138pt · both sides hold >15% of the text
+6 points · check P02Rating dots extract as nothing, so none of these skills is recorded — and reviewers distrust self-rated bars. Write plain skill names instead.
3 glyph runs next to skill terms · 0 characters extracted
+2 points · check P10"March 2023 — now" and "06/2019 - 02/2023" belong to different families, so tenure is computed wrong. Use one: Mar 2023 – Present.

Every point Atsy takes off is attached to a finding, with the evidence from your file and the fix written as an instruction. The rubric is published, and the score is deterministic: the same CV always scores the same, because no language model touches the scoring.
