Import your resume
Resume parser
Upload a PDF or DOCX and what Resume Home reads fills the builder, where you check each step, delete what you do not want and edit the rest. Then learn what to check when you upload to an employer's application form.
We do not keep your uploaded file.
Upload a PDF or DOCX resume and edit the details
Bring the resume you have instead of typing it again.
Upload your resume
Choose a PDF or DOCX file. What is read fills the builder: contact details, experience, education and skills.
Check each step
Go through the builder one step at a time, correct anything misplaced and delete what you do not want.
Choose a look and export
Pick a template and colours, then save or export as PDF, Word, plain text or Markdown once you have an account.
What to look for after any import
Whether it is Resume Home or an employer's form reading your file, these are the details that most often land in the wrong place.
- A date range attached to the wrong employer.
- Two roles merged into one, or one role split in two.
- Skills read as a sentence instead of a list.
- Contact details missing because they sat in a header.
Check the details an application needs
Contact information
Your name, email and other details should appear correctly in the application.
Experience and dates
Keep each employer, role and date range together, and fix any that land under the wrong role.
Education and skills
Look for missing or misplaced qualifications and skills before you submit.
Familiar headings and real text are easier for any form to read. For a formatting checklist and a check against a job posting, see the ATS resume checker.

Frequently asked questions
What is a resume parser?
A resume parser reads information from a resume so it can be used in an application form or recruiting system. Review the resulting details for accuracy.
What should I check after uploading a resume?
Check contact details, employer names, job titles, dates, education and skills. Make sure each detail appears in the right place.
What if an application form reads my resume incorrectly?
Correct the form before submitting it. Follow the employer’s document instructions and check that the final application accurately represents your experience.
Which files can I import into Resume Home?
PDF and DOCX resumes, read into the builder's steps: contact details, experience, education and skills. Correct, delete or add anything before you save.
Is my uploaded file stored?
No. We do not keep your uploaded PDF or DOCX; what was read goes into the builder for you to review and edit.
Do I need an account to import my resume?
Not to start. Visitors can upload without an account, within a limited number of free reads; when those are used up for now, signing in lets you keep going.
