Frequently asked questions
Does the format fixer rewrite my resume content?
No. It preserves your exact wording and converts your layout into a clean, single-column document with standard section headings.
What file formats can I download?
You can download your reformatted resume as an editable .docx (Word) document or as a PDF.
Why is single-column formatting required for ATS?
Applicant tracking systems (like Workday and Taleo) parse text linearly from top to bottom. Multi-column tables, sidebars, or floating text boxes scramble reading order and drop fields.
Is my resume text uploaded anywhere?
No. Parsing and file generation run locally in your browser. Nothing is uploaded or stored on a server.
