Browser-Only Resume Analysis

What browser-only analysis means for privacy, file handling, caching, and supported resume formats.

Updated 2026-06-064 min read

Direct answer

The public ATS checker is designed to process supported resume files in the browser. That keeps the free scan fast, private, and useful before a user decides whether to create an account.

Supported files

The checker supports PDF, DOCX, DOC, and TXT files. It validates file type and size before analysis and can use OCR fallback for scanned documents where available.

  • PDF
  • DOCX/DOC
  • TXT
  • OCR fallback

Local processing

For the public scan, extraction and analysis happen client-side. This avoids unnecessary upload of sensitive career documents for a basic ATS review.

  • No free-scan upload
  • Browser extraction
  • Local result caching

When accounts matter

Accounts are useful when users want to save analysis, maintain a career record, create resume views, or generate tailored applications.

  • Save records
  • Create resume views
  • Use AI workflows

Try the private scan

Upload a supported resume file and review the result without creating an account.
