Choose a clean resume layout with standard headings, selectable text, and a predictable reading order. Build your resume, export it as PDF, and run Pika’s free ATS diagnostic before applying.
The safest ATS-friendly resume template is a clean, text-based, single-column layout with standard headings such as Summary, Experience, Education, and Skills. Avoid graphics that replace text, skill-rating bars, and complicated reading order. Match the job description honestly and submit the file type the employer requests.

An ATS-friendly resume uses clean formatting that applicant tracking systems can parse correctly. This means standard section headings (Experience, Education, Skills), no tables or multi-column layouts that confuse parsers, and text-based content rather than images. Our templates are engineered from the ground up to be ATS-compatible while still looking polished to human recruiters.
Many employers use applicant tracking systems to collect and manage applications. Clear headings, readable text, and restrained formatting can reduce avoidable parsing problems, but no template can guarantee how every employer system will process or rank a resume.
Start with a clean template (like ours), use standard section names, include keywords from the job description, avoid graphics and icons in critical sections, and save as PDF. Our AI Resume Builder automatically optimises your content for ATS by identifying missing keywords and suggesting improvements based on the job description you are targeting.
Pika templates are designed around common ATS-parsing safeguards: selectable text, standard headings, clear hierarchy, and restrained formatting. No template can guarantee how every employer system will parse or rank a resume, so run the exported file through the free ATS diagnostic before applying.
Run Pika’s free ATS diagnostic to check common parsing, structure, content, and file-quality risks. For a specific vacancy, use JD Matching separately to compare your resume with that job description.
A single-column layout is the safer default because it creates one predictable reading order. A restrained two-column layout may work, but verify the exported file and avoid placing essential experience or contact details in decorative sidebars.
PDF is the safest choice for most ATS systems. Our builder exports high-quality PDFs with selectable text, which is essential for ATS parsing. Avoid saving your resume as an image-based PDF.
