Check Your Resume's ATS Compatibility for Free
Last updated: March 4, 2026
You're about to apply for a job, but you're not sure if your resume will survive the ATS filter. Most companies use Applicant Tracking Systems that automatically reject resumes that don't match the job description's keywords and format requirements. ScoreMyCV is a free Chrome extension that checks your resume's ATS compatibility against any job description — entirely in your browser.
The Problem
You've spent hours crafting your resume, but you have no way to test whether it will pass the automated screening that most companies use. Paid tools like Jobscan ($50/month) and Resume Worded ($25/month) exist, but they're expensive and require uploading your resume to their servers. You need a free, private way to test your resume before clicking 'Apply'.
How It Works
Install ScoreMyCV
Add the ScoreMyCV Chrome extension from the Chrome Web Store. It's free, requires no account, and all processing runs locally in your browser. Your resume never leaves your device.
Upload your resume PDF
Open the extension's side panel and upload your resume. The PDF is parsed locally to extract text, sections, skills, and contact information. Upload multiple versions to compare which scores best.
Open a job listing you want to apply to
Navigate to any job listing on LinkedIn, Indeed, Glassdoor, or 10+ other job sites. The extension automatically extracts the job description — no copy-pasting needed.
Review your ATS compatibility score
Get an instant score (0-100) with a breakdown of four factors: keyword match, skills alignment, context quality, and format score. See exactly which keywords are missing and which are matched.
Improve and re-score
Update your resume to include missing high-importance keywords. Re-upload and re-score to see the improvement. Aim for 70+ before submitting your application.

Extract text from scanned PDFs and images with OCR — with live preview.
