About

A free toolkit for the job-seeker grind

CareerFuse is the resume + PDF utility belt we wished existed when we were applying to jobs. It runs in your browser, costs nothing, and never holds your files hostage behind a paywall.

What we make

  • An AI resume builder with 50+ ATS-safe templates, inline rewrite suggestions, and one-click PDF export. Try the builder.
  • ATS scoring — paste a resume and a job description, see how well it parses and which keywords you're missing. See ATS Score.
  • 37 PDF utilities — merge, split, compress, convert, OCR, sign, watermark. All run client-side, so your documents never get uploaded. Browse all tools.
  • A growing blog on resumes, ATS systems, and the parts of job hunting that nobody talks about. Read the blog.

Privacy by design

Every PDF tool runs in your browser. We never receive the bytes of your file. Even our AI resume parser only sees the extracted text — we don't store it, we don't log it, and we don't sell it. Read the specifics in our privacy policy.

Why free

The other major resume builders charge $20–$30/month for things that should be free — downloading your own resume as a PDF, fixing a typo, or using a different template. We don't. The whole product, including AI features, works without an account or a credit card. We'll eventually run unobtrusive ads to keep the lights on, but the tools stay free.

Who builds it

CareerFuse is built and maintained by the CareerFuse team — a small group of engineers and designers who got tired of paying $30/month to download a PDF. We ship updates weekly and read every piece of feedback. If something doesn't work for you, tell us about it — contact us.
