MakeResume
MakeResume is a web-based AI resume and cover letter builder designed to help job seekers create ATS-optimized application documents quickly. It offers a resume builder with 72 professional templates, an import feature that reads PDF and DOCX files, and AI-powered rewriting of bullet points and summaries. The platform also includes a dedicated ATS checker that analyzes resumes against job postings to identify missing keywords and improve scores. The tool follows a four-step workflow: start from a template or import an existing resume, paste the target job description, rewrite weak bullet points individually or automatically, and check the ATS score before downloading. A live ATS score appears in the sidebar as users edit, giving immediate feedback on how well the content matches the job requirements. MakeResume is available on a freemium model. Free users can build a full resume, import existing files, use AI rewrites, access two free templates, and download a PDF using those templates. Paid plans unlock the full template catalog, multiple saved resumes, DOCX export, and the live ATS score inside the builder. No account is required to start building, and the ATS checker can be used without sign-up.
