Tailor a resume to a job description

The AI Resume Tailor uses the same PDF upload as the builder, then rewrites the resume toward a job description you provide. You still pick a template and colours, and you still download a PDF.

What you need

  • A PDF resume, up to 10MB.
  • A job description, either pasted as text (up to 4,000 characters) or uploaded as a PDF.

Upload the resume

The left panel is Upload & Customise Your Resume.

  1. Drag a PDF onto the drop zone, or click it and choose the file.
  2. Optionally add a profile picture, choose a template (Original, Atelier Serif, Monograph Grid, Modern Two-Column, or Timeline Vertical), and open Customize Colors.

The build button is on the job-description panel, not on this one. Change File clears the selected PDF.

Add the job description

The right panel is Add a Job Description.

  1. Paste Text is the default. Paste the description into the box. The counter shows characters/4000. It warns as you pass 3,800 characters.
  2. Upload File switches to a PDF upload labelled Upload Job description file.
  3. Resume Tone is one of:
    • Formal — conservative, traditional
    • Neutral — balanced, professional
    • Creative — dynamic, engaging
  4. Additional Instructions is optional, up to 500 characters (a warning appears past 450). Use it for a constraint such as "keep the job titles unchanged" or "emphasise the last two roles".

Start Ai Tailoring Process stays disabled until a resume PDF is selected and a job description is present (pasted text, or an uploaded file).

What you get

A progress message stays on the page while the resume is processed.

  • Signed in: the result is saved and you are taken to your library. Open it to view, edit, or download.
  • Not signed in: you get a temporary preview. Download saves a PDF. Edit the preview before you download if a line does not match the source resume.

If the library save fails, the page says so and still offers the temporary preview.

Before you send it

Paste the description itself, not only the job title. The 4,000 character limit means a very long posting may need the requirements and responsibilities kept and the boilerplate cut. Read the preview against the original resume so dates, employers, and tools were not invented. The tailor changes wording to fit the role; it does not add jobs you did not upload.
