Scope and limitations
- Scans without a text layer and photos are unsupported; the tool does not perform OCR.
- The original PDF layout is not preserved. Complex columns and unusual headings can affect text order.
- Full automatic transfer of experience and education is not guaranteed; you may need to complete these sections manually.
- Import replaces the current editor draft. Save any resume you want to keep to your account first.
Frequently asked questions
Is my PDF uploaded to a server?
Text extraction runs in your browser. Your PDF is not uploaded for this operation. If you choose to save the resulting resume to your account, its data is stored in the cloud.
Does import use AI?
No. Text extraction and field recognition use rules. Review the result before confirming the import.
