Questions about free ats resume checker.
Clear answers about privacy, scoring, files, and practical use.
What does the ATS score mean?
It summarizes visible checks for parsing, structure, content evidence, and optional job relevance. The category weights and deductions are shown beside the result.
Can I upload a PDF or DOCX?
Yes. TXT, Markdown, DOCX, and text based PDF files are supported. Image only or unusually encoded PDFs may need to be copied as text instead.
Does Stelaah store my resume?
No. The checker reads the file in your browser and does not send the source text or result to Stelaah.
