Import a PDF or Word Resume into an Editor

How it works

1. Choose a file
   PDF or DOCX, up to 5 MB.
2. Text is extracted on the server
   The file is read in memory. Only its text is used; the file itself isn't stored.
3. Contact details are masked
   Emails, phone numbers, links and your name are replaced with placeholders like [EMAIL_1] and [CANDIDATE_NAME].
4. AI sorts the text into sections
   The masked text is sent to the AI provider, which returns roles, dates, bullets, education and skills as structured data.
5. Details are restored and you review
   The placeholders are swapped back on the server, and you check the result. Sections that need a look are flagged.

What files work

Formats

PDF and DOCX. Older .doc files, images and other formats aren't accepted.

Size

Up to 5 MB.

Won't import

Scanned PDFs with no selectable text, password-protected PDFs, and unusually large Word documents.

Requires

An AI provider, because turning free text into sections needs one. Imports count towards the hourly AI limit.

Limitations

Unusual layouts, text in images, tables and heavily designed templates can come through out of order or incomplete. Always read through the result before relying on it. The name detection that masks your name uses the resume header and names already on your account, so a name in an unusual position can occasionally slip through to the AI provider. The import is never blocked because of this.

Privacy

The original file is discarded after its text is read. Only the structured content and the original file name are saved with the resume. See the privacy policy for what's sent to AI providers.
