How it works
Most builders make you start over for each application. Here the work you did once keeps paying off.
Import the resume you already have as a PDF or Word (.docx) file, or your LinkedIn profile, into one career profile. No resume yet? Start from a job title with a starter resume you fill in.
Paste the ad. The matcher scores skills, experience, keywords and formatting, lists what is missing, and offers rewrites you approve one at a time.
Download the PDF or Word file, log the application, and see what actually gets you interviews.
The editor
No forms to fill in and no preview to compare against. Click any line of your resume and type: you edit it in the template’s own layout, so the page you see is the page you send.
Your name, dates, headings and bullets are edited where they sit. Each change saves on its own when you click away or press Enter; Esc undoes it.
Select text in a summary or a bullet for bold, italic, a link, or a bulleted or numbered list.
Hover a section or an entry for its tools, or drag it in the sections list. A hidden entry stays in the editor and out of the PDF.
Switch to Preview to see the exact file Download gives you, page by page.
Change template without retyping a word, pick a font, and add a photo on the Premium templates that have a photo slot.
Career profile
Personal details, experience, skills, projects, education and certifications live in one profile, and every new resume starts from it. Each resume is then its own copy, so tailoring one never changes another.
AI job matcher
You get a score, four sub-scores and two lists: what already matches and what does not. It reads only the ad you pasted and the resume you picked.
Optimize with AI
Optimize rewrites your summary, strengthens weak bullets with the wording from the ad, and moves the most relevant work to the top.
Applications and insights
Log each application with the resume you sent, then move it from applied to interview to offer. Insights counts the rest.
Resume and CV templates
15 one-column templates for nurses, accountants, teachers, designers, electricians and new graduates, each one parsed cleanly. Switching never touches your content. Graduate is free; the rest come with Premium, along with 15 design layouts the app labels “limited ATS”.
AI resume quality check
ResumHero keeps one written standard for what a strong resume looks like: value over duties, evidence behind every skill, formatting that parses cleanly. The quality check reads your resume against it and tells you what already works, what to fix, why it matters, and how.
Critical. An ATS or clarity problem: a missing title, a layout a parser cannot read.
High. A content weakness: experience that lists duties but not problems or impact.
Medium. A useful improvement: a missing link, a weak summary.
Polish. Wording, punctuation, spacing. Optional.
The AI, in plain terms
This is the part most builders are vague about, so here it is in plain terms.

One career profile, one resume, the Graduate template, PDF and Word export, and three quality checks, three tailoring runs, three cover letters and three AI writing requests, given once to start you off. When the allowance is used up you can still edit and download your resume. Premium adds every template, unlimited resumes and up to 50 quality checks, tailoring runs and cover letters a month, from a $2.99 7-day pass.
Both. It is the same document with two names: “resume” in the US and Canada, “CV” in the UK, Europe, Bangladesh and India. The templates cover both conventions, including an International CV layout with an optional photo for European applications. Whatever you call it, it exports as PDF and Word.
Applicant tracking systems read the text of your resume before a person does. Tables, columns and graphics often come out scrambled. The 15 ATS-friendly templates put the text in one column in reading order with real headings, so your details arrive intact. Premium also has design layouts with a sidebar, banner or timeline; the app labels them “Design · limited ATS”, because some tracking systems read them out of order. The ATS check in the editor shows how a parser reads your own resume, from contact details to dates and bullets, and it is free to run as often as you like.
Yes, as a PDF or DOCX up to 10 MB. The import reads your roles, skills, projects and education into a career profile, and you review each section before it is saved. If your career lives on LinkedIn, you can also build from LinkedIn (see below).
Yes. Choose “Build from LinkedIn”, sign in on LinkedIn and approve access. LinkedIn only shares your name, email address and profile photo with apps, not your work history, so the same step asks for LinkedIn’s own profile PDF (“Save to PDF” on your profile) to bring in your roles, education and skills. You review everything, then pick a template or let the AI organize it, and nothing is saved until you choose to. We keep no access to your LinkedIn account and never post to it.
No. The file is read once to fill in your profile, then discarded. We keep only its name, type and size as a record of the import. What stays is what you approved into your profile or resume, and you can edit or delete that at any time.
A written standard for strong resumes that ResumHero maintains: a role-specific headline, professional contact details, a summary with evidence, experience bullets that show a problem and a result rather than a list of tools, skills backed by a role or project, and one-column ATS-safe formatting. It lists what already works, then each finding with its severity, why it matters, what to change, and a rewrite where the facts allow one. It never edits your resume for you.
No. Optimize’s rewrites rephrase what you already wrote. The job matcher only adds skills you tick yourself. Starting from a job title gives you sections and prompts, not invented jobs or dates. Where a line needs a number it cannot know, it leaves that to you.
PDF and DOCX. The Word file has the same content in the same order as the PDF, for the applications that insist on an editable file. Both are free on every plan.
Yes, on Premium templates with a photo slot, such as the International CV: click the slot on the page. Upload a JPEG, PNG or WEBP and it is cropped to a portrait automatically. Templates without a slot leave it out, which is what you want for most US and UK applications.
No. Every change from the matcher applies to that one resume. Your profile and your other resumes stay exactly as they were.
Yes, up to ten custom sections per resume. Awards, publications, volunteering, languages and talks are the usual ones. Each entry takes a title, subtitle, date, link, description and bullets.
