Resume template FAQ
Can a Canva resume pass ATS?
Rarely. Designs built from text boxes, icons and multi-column layouts often parse out of order or lose content when exported. Use a single-column, text-based template and test the file before applying.
Does ATS read PDF or DOCX better?
DOCX is the safest choice. Modern ATS also read text-based PDFs well — avoid scanned or image-based PDFs, which parsers cannot read.
Are all CvPrais templates ATS-friendly?
Yes. Every template uses a single-column reading order, standard section headings and real selectable text, and all are free to download.
