Most resume formatting tools either cost money, require an account, or produce overly designed templates that ATS systems can't parse. This tool takes the opposite approach: paste your content using simple text formatting, and get a clean, professional PDF that both ATS software and human recruiters will love.

Why Simple Formatting Wins

Fancy resume templates with multi-column layouts, graphics, icons, and creative fonts look impressive — but ATS systems often can't parse them. The result? Your resume gets garbled or rejected before anyone reads it. The templates here use single-column layouts, standard fonts, proper heading hierarchy, and clean spacing — the exact format that scores highest on ATS compatibility tests.

How to Use Markdown Formatting

Start section headings with # (like # Experience). Use - or * at the start of a line for bullet points. Wrap text in **double asterisks** for bold. Use blank lines between sections for spacing. The tool handles all the visual formatting, margins, and typography automatically. Your content goes in, a professionally formatted PDF comes out.

Tips for a Strong Resume

Keep it to 1-2 pages. Lead bullet points with action verbs (Led, Built, Increased). Quantify achievements with numbers whenever possible. Put your most recent and relevant experience first. Include a Skills section with the exact keywords from the job description. Skip the "Objective" unless you're changing careers — use a Summary instead.
