A free, open-source tool to get your resume past ATS. Use LaTeX or upload a Word doc—we optimize it for each job. Because applications shouldn't be this hard.
No LaTeX experience? Upload your Word resume and we'll convert it to LaTeX. Already use LaTeX? Paste it in. Either way, you get a single template optimized per job.
The AI rephrases your bullet points to incorporate relevant keywords from the job description while keeping line counts and your original content intact. It never invents experiences.
We compile and verify: if a change would break your layout (e.g., 2 lines → 3), we revert and retry with feedback. Your page count and bullet lengths stay under your control.
Side-by-side PDF comparison with highlights and word-level diffs. Edit LaTeX in the app, preview PDF on save and on load, and download when ready.
Queue several optimizations, get desktop and in-app notifications when they finish, and manage everything from the Jobs page.
TailorTom is MIT-licensed. Use it in the browser, self-host with your own API key, or contribute on GitHub.
In Settings: paste LaTeX or upload a Word (.docx) resume. We convert Word to LaTeX and show a live PDF preview. Set target pages and optimization options.
Paste the full job description for the position you're applying to. The more context, the better the optimization.
Our pipeline compiles your resume, extracts line-count constraints, and uses the AI to rephrase bullets with job keywords. It compiles again to verify layout and retries with feedback if needed.
View the diff, edit LaTeX if you want, and download the optimized PDF. Filenames use your name and the company so you can keep track.
I built TailorTom after realizing how hard it is to get past ATS systems. Great candidates often never get seen because a bot filtered them out. So I built a tool that optimizes your resume for each job—whether you use LaTeX or Word—without inventing content or breaking your layout.
It's free and open source. No sign-up required. Use it in the browser or self-host with your own API key. Job searching is hard enough without having to game automated systems.
