What's New

English section titles stay English

• FIXResumes created by importing a PDF or pasting text no longer fall back to Chinese section titles — headings and field labels stay in English in the preview, the shared link, and PDF / Word / plain-text exports
• FIXWord export now matches the preview: fields that a Western-style resume leaves out (gender, date of birth, marital status, expected salary…) no longer show up in the .docx

Your draft survives signing in

• FIXA resume written before signing in is now saved to your account automatically, instead of leaving you on an empty dashboard
• FIXThe dashboard now offers to pick up an unsaved draft when it finds one on your device
• FIXSigning in returns you to the page you were on, rather than always jumping to the dashboard

Longer sign-in sessions

• FIXYour sign-in now lasts much longer and renews itself while you keep using the app, so you no longer have to log in and wait for a code so often

Clearable personal notices

• FIXPersonal reminders in the announcement center (unfinished order, feedback replies…) can now be cleared with the × button; site announcements remain available to re-read

Mobile dialog height fix

• FIXFixed dialogs (Export history and others) having their title and close button clipped off-screen on iPhone browsers

Help Center

• NEWNew Help Center (footer link or /help): answers for exporting, credits, billing and features
• NEWThe feedback form now suggests help articles that may already answer your question
• NEWHelp Center entry added to the avatar menu

In-app browser fixes

• NEWExport history is now reachable on mobile (preview header and the AI menu) — re-download any export within 7 days

• FIXFixed exports silently failing to save when the site is opened inside another app (Facebook, Instagram, WeChat…): you now get a download link to open in your real browser
• FIXWord export and checkout inside in-app browsers now guide you to your system browser first instead of failing

Delete protection & slot notices

• FIXDeleting an entry inside a section now asks you to confirm (click "Confirm delete" again) so a stray tap can't wipe your content
• FIXRemoving your photo also asks for confirmation now
• FIXClearing the sample resume after you've edited it now shows a confirmation dialog; an untouched sample still clears in one click
• FIXWhen your resume slots are full, creating, duplicating and AI drafting now tell you upfront — no more burning an AI credit only to hit the limit at the last step
• FIXEntering the editor from a template with full slots now offers to replace an existing resume, upgrade, or keep editing — right away instead of a corner banner
• FIXFixed the homepage "start blank" button silently doing nothing when slots are full

Section reorder buttons & sample polish

• NEWResume sections now have move up / down buttons — reorder without dragging

• FIXFixed color-band templates showing an extra blank page when content fits on one
• FIXSample resume filled from templates is now trimmed to stay on a single page in every layout
• FIXTemplate-applied and sample-filled notices merged into one banner

Templates now start furnished

• NEWPicking a template now opens the editor pre-filled with the same sample resume you saw in the preview — edit it into your own instead of starting from a blank page, or clear it in one click
• NEWBefore exporting, we check for leftover sample placeholders (sample name, contact info) and remind you to replace them first

AI Formatter & PDF to Word

• NEWNew no-sign-up tool: paste resume text written by any AI assistant and get it parsed into a structured, templated resume — fine-tune in the editor and export as PDF or Word
• NEWNew no-sign-up tool: upload a PDF resume and get a clean, editable version rebuilt in a template — export as Word without the garbled layout

See what you are waiting for

• NEWExporting a PDF now shows a live progress card — queueing, layout rendering and file generation step by step — and the completion message includes page count and file size
• NEWThe free resume check now shows a scanning animation that walks through each check before revealing your score
• NEWFull-resume translate, JD match, AI resume draft and interview reports now narrate what the AI is working on while you wait

Faster PDF export

• FIXExported PDFs start downloading the moment they are ready, instead of waiting a fixed extra second or two
• FIXResumes with large photos now export to much smaller PDFs: the photo is automatically scaled to the resolution the avatar actually needs — no visible quality difference, faster to download and attach

Site-wide performance & polish

• NEWEditor typing performance improved: the live preview no longer re-renders on every keystroke, which noticeably reduces lag on lower-end computers
• NEWNew "All tags" index page for the blog — browse every article by tag
• NEWAll dialogs now close on the Esc key, and the page behind a dialog no longer scrolls on mobile

• FIXTemplate gallery scrolling is much lighter: off-screen thumbnails are recycled, so low-end machines no longer drop frames
• FIXThe blog list page is much smaller to load, and expanding tags no longer freezes the page
• FIXApplication board, application details, export history and interview history now show a clear error with a retry button when loading fails, instead of an empty list or an endless spinner
• FIXFixed a possible duplicate resume when clicking "Start from blank" repeatedly — the button now shows a loading state while creating
• FIXReturning to the dashboard from the editor no longer does a full page reload

Regenerate AI results in one click

• NEWAI Rewrite and AI Summary now have a Regenerate button on the result view — if you are not happy with the output, get another version right away without closing the dialog (each run uses AI credits as usual)

Blog table-of-contents fix

• FIXFixed table-of-contents links not jumping on some blog posts (happened when a heading contained bold text or a link)

Resume review & mock interview reliability

• FIXFixed occasional "review failed, please try again" errors in Resume Health Review and Mock Interview (these failures never consumed credits)

Word export, plain-text copy & layout controls

• NEWExport your resume as Word (.docx): a clean, simplified layout with all your content, easy for recruiters to edit or for systems that require .docx — use PDF export when you need an exact match with the preview
• NEWNew "Copy as plain text" (in the editor's More menu): copy your whole resume as plain text to paste into application systems
• NEWLayout controls upgraded: font scaling now goes from 80% to 130%, with new fine-grained sliders for line height and section spacing (the three presets remain as shortcuts)

• FIXFixed a blank extra page appearing in the preview when content length was right at a page boundary; empty-section placeholders are no longer printed into exported PDFs — preview page count now always matches the export
• FIXFixed text getting sliced in half at page breaks on date-axis templates with larger line heights — page breaks now avoid cutting through any column's text lines

Role-specific resume templates

• NEW22 new free Word templates written for common roles: Registered Nurse, Teacher, Medical Assistant, Project Manager, Operations Manager, Account Executive, Customer Service, Administrative Assistant, Software Engineer, Data Analyst, Product Manager, UX Designer, Finance/Audit, HR, Supply Chain, Mechanical Engineer, Electrician, CDL Truck Driver, Warehouse, Retail, International Sales, and an Academic CV for graduate applications — each with quantified sample bullets in the same ATS-safe layout
• NEWThe downloads page now groups templates by field and adds a search box to jump straight to your role

Free Word resume templates

• NEWNew free downloads page: US-style .docx resume templates — including a version annotated in Chinese for Chinese professionals (degrees, GPA and certifications formatted for US recruiters) and an international-student layout. No sign-up, no watermark

Export retry & mobile fixes

• FIXRegenerating from export history now reproduces exactly what you exported at the time — later edits (or even deleting the resume) no longer affect it
• FIXFixed a horizontal scrollbar appearing in the "Add application" dialog on mobile

Blog topics & RSS

• NEWBlog topic hubs: browse related articles by theme — resume templates, resume writing, ATS optimization, students & new grads, and more
• NEWRSS feed at /feed.xml — follow new articles in your reader

• FIXFixed the editor preview clipping the left side of the resume (and not letting you scroll to it) at 100% / 125% zoom in the split layout, and removed the large empty scroll area that appeared to the right when zoomed in
• FIXThe layout switcher and zoom controls now stay pinned to the top of the preview pane instead of scrolling away with the content

JD screenshot recognition

• NEWJob match analysis now accepts JD screenshots: when a job posting won't let you copy its text, paste a screenshot straight into the JD box (or use "Upload a JD screenshot") and it is transcribed into editable text before analysis. Recognition uses no AI credits.

AI Resume Writer

• NEWNew "Write my resume with AI" option when creating a resume: enter a target position and a few experience points, and the AI drafts a complete structured first draft for you to review before saving. It only expands on facts you provide and leaves "[Add a specific metric]" placeholders where numbers belong.
• NEWThe empty-resume guide now offers an optional field-of-work choice (pre-selected when you arrive from a template) — design, academic, and international profiles get portfolio, publications, or languages sections added automatically.
• NEWWork, project, and campus description fields now show STAR-style writing guidance when empty.

Smoother loading & error recovery

• NEWNavigating to the blog, template gallery, or an article now shows an instant page skeleton instead of a blank wait.
• NEWUnexpected page failures no longer show a blank screen: a friendly error page lets you retry or head back home.

• FIXThe leave-confirmation when exiting guest mode in the editor now uses the in-app dialog style instead of the native browser popup.

Template categories & new designs

• NEW8 new structurally distinct templates: a vertical thumb index down the page edge (like a tabbed dossier), a manila folder-tab header, an emblem-badge chronicle, an executive metrics wall, card-stacked two-column entries, and a full-page keyline stationery frame.
• NEWBoth the template gallery and the in-editor template picker can now filter by style category (business formal, modern minimal, editorial, and more) — stackable with role filters.
• NEWBetter ordering: a curated Featured picks list puts the most distinctive layouts first in both the gallery and the editor; category and role views are paginated; the NEW badge now marks only the latest batches.

Free cover letter generator

• NEWNew free tool at /cover-letter: generate a tailored cover letter in seconds — no sign-up needed. Paste your resume and the job description, and the letter is built from your real achievements (with honest placeholders where details are missing, never invented facts), plus tips on what to personalize before sending.

Switchable editor layout

• NEWThe resume editor now has three layout modes (Preview focus / Balanced / Editor focus): on large screens the editing area can take up most of the page, making it easier to read and fill in. New sessions open in Balanced (split down the middle), and your chosen mode is remembered.
• NEWOn wide screens the form fields arrange into two columns and the description box gets wider, so longer entries are easier to fill; narrow screens and mobile stay single-column.

New template layout

• NEWTemplate library expanded to 500+ designs: a large batch of brand-new layouts (structural redesigns, not recolors) — a vertical section rail, a horizontal year timeline, magazine-cover / diagonal-facet / large-photo / ID-card / Art Deco / terminal-window / 8-bit pixel headers, horizontal label bands, folder-tab and pennant section headings, plus many header × layout cross-overs and split two-column structures. Switch freely within your subscription; works in both English and Chinese.

Smoother password setup

• NEWWhen setting, changing, or resetting your password, a live rules-and-strength hint now appears under the field and ticks green once it is long enough — no more relying on a placeholder that vanishes as you type.
• NEWRight after you sign up with a verification code, you can set a password in one step (or skip it) and sign in with email + password next time, without waiting for a code.
• NEWChanging your password while signed in now has a "Forgot it? Use an email code" option, so you no longer need to sign out and go through password recovery.

Shareable resume score card

• NEWAfter the free no-sign-up resume check, you can now save your score as an image card to keep or share.

Template gallery revamp & unified dialogs

• NEWTemplate gallery revamp: colorway variants of the same layout are now one card — tap a color dot to switch the preview. Each category shows a curated preview with one-click "view all", making the page half as long and faster to load.
• NEWThe template filter bar now sticks to the top while you scroll, so you can switch role / scenario filters anywhere on the page.
• NEWThe export button now shows live progress ("Queued / Generating") while your PDF is being prepared, and if it takes longer than expected you get a direct link to Export history.
• NEWIn-app notifications now replace browser-native alert boxes across the site — errors show inline and dismiss themselves, with a consistent look in dark mode.
• NEWGuest drafts now persist on your device: re-open the editor and restore your last unsaved work with one click — no more losing everything when the tab closes.
• NEWResume cards now have a "Rename" action — edit titles right on the dashboard without opening the editor.

• FIXFixed sticky elements (top navigation and similar) not following the page while scrolling.
• FIXThe "replace an existing resume" dialog now scrolls inside the list when you have many resumes (instead of filling the screen), and shows each resume's last-updated date.
• FIXDuring renewal offers, plan cards now calculate the "per month" equivalent from the discounted price, with the reference and regular prices shown as separate strikethroughs.
• FIXClosing the AI translation dialog mid-run now cancels the translation — late results no longer silently overwrite your resume.
• FIXTapping AI rewrite while signed out now opens the sign-in window directly, instead of the confusing "0 credits left / session expired" sequence.
• FIXThe JD matching "at least 30 characters" hint now appears next to the optimize button, instead of hiding at the top of the panel.
• FIXAI credit confirmations (rewrite / summary / translation / JD match) now use in-app dialogs — press Esc or click outside to cancel without spending credits.
• FIXDeleting applications, timeline events, and export records now uses in-app confirmation dialogs, with inline retry messages if deletion fails.
• FIXThe free-plan export confirmation no longer uses a browser-native popup.

Navigation & editor experience fixes

• NEWThe application tracker board now supports drag and drop — drag a card to another column to change its status, with the timeline updated automatically.
• NEW"My shares" now shows how many times each link has been viewed — know at a glance whether HR opened it.
• NEWShare links now preview as "Your name — Resume" instead of site marketing copy, and shared resumes are kept out of search engines.
• NEWCommon dialogs can be closed with Esc; the sign-in window no longer closes (and wipes your input) on a stray backdrop click.
• NEWPages load noticeably faster (trimmed unused font payloads), and signed-in visits to the homepage now go straight to your dashboard without a flash.
• NEWCreating a resume now offers "Start from a template" — browse 100+ templates first, then fill in your story.
• NEWThe credits page now has a "Get more" upgrade entry, and the empty shares page links back to your resumes.
• NEWPro features (JD Match / AI deep read) now show a PRO badge before you click, so the upgrade prompt is never a surprise.
• NEWAfter a resume check, "Import to editor" now carries your pasted text straight into the new-resume flow — no need to paste it again.
• NEWThe editor walkthrough now plays automatically on your first visit (still available anytime under "More → Guide").
• NEWThe mobile editor header now has an Undo button, so accidental deletions are easy to recover.
• NEWPricing, Blog, and Changelog pages now carry the site-wide top navigation, so you can hop to templates and AI tools from anywhere.
• NEWBlog tag filters and page numbers are now reflected in the URL — refreshing, sharing, and bookmarking keep your place.
• NEWThe editor no longer shows an ID-photo field — US/EU resumes don't use photos, and our own ATS advice says the same.

• FIXDeleting a whole resume section now asks for confirmation instead of removing it in one tap.
• FIXDeleting resumes and share links now uses in-app confirmation dialogs, and lists show a clear retry option when loading fails.
• FIXFixed Cmd/Ctrl+Z undoing two steps at once inside rich-text fields.
• FIXOut-of-credits messages now match the plans currently on sale instead of pointing to retired add-ons.
• FIXResume Checker and JD Match landing pages now state accurately that the AI deep read and JD Match are Pro features.
• FIXUnknown URLs now show a friendly 404 page with links back into the site.

Announcement center

• NEWA bell icon in the dashboard header opens the announcement center: unread announcements show a badge, and dismissed ones can be re-read anytime.
• NEWRead state syncs across devices — signing in on another computer won't re-show old unread badges.

In-editor resume check upgrade

• NEWThe in-editor Resume Check now reviews content strength — metric density, vague verbs, clichés, bullet openers, and first-person filler — pointing at the exact entries to fix.
• NEWReports include a five-dimension breakdown (quantification / wording / structure / length / ATS friendliness), matching the free checker page.
• NEWIf you have an unfinished checkout, your dashboard now shows a reminder so you can pick it up in one click.

• FIXLifecycle emails now arrive in English with links to prismresume.com.

Free resume checks, no sign-up

• NEWThe Resume Check page now works on the spot: paste your resume or upload a PDF and get a five-dimension score plus an issue list in 10 seconds — no account needed.
• NEWNew: a free Chinese → English resume check. Paste a Chinese resume and get a US-readiness score, the China-specific red flags, and rewrite examples from your own text — with the full report available by email.

Field language switch · 4 new languages

• NEWA new "Field Language" picker in the basic-info card switches your resume's section titles, field labels, and options with one tap — no AI translation needed, and your written content stays untouched.
• NEWAI translation and the field-language switch now add French, German, Italian, and Russian — 10 languages in total, alongside Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, and Portuguese.

Navigation improvements

• NEWBlog, template, and resume-example list and detail pages now have consistent navigation: a "Back" link plus a quick link in the top-right — back to home when signed out, or to your dashboard when signed in.

• FIXFixed a loop where opening a detail page from an external link and tapping "Back" could bounce you between the detail page and the list with no way out.

Mobile experience overhaul

• NEWYou can now pinch-to-zoom on any page, so it's easy to read fine print and your resume details on a phone.

• FIXA broad mobile pass: the home page, pricing, AI tools, the application tracker, and dialogs no longer scroll sideways, cut off content, or leave buttons too small to tap on a phone.
• FIXOpening a shared resume on a phone now reflows it to fit the screen, so recruiters viewing on mobile see it cleanly.
• FIXDialogs behave consistently on mobile — the background locks while one is open, long content scrolls inside the dialog, and bottom buttons are no longer hidden behind the home bar.
• FIXFixed page titles, application-source options, and dates that weren't fully shown in English.

Multilingual resumes: Japanese / Korean / Spanish / Portuguese

• NEWAI translation now goes beyond English ⇄ Chinese: translate your whole resume into Japanese, Korean, Spanish, or Portuguese in one click, with section titles and field labels switching to the target language.
• NEWEach language follows its local résumé norms automatically — Japanese and Korean resumes keep photo, gender, and date of birth, while Western-style resumes hide those fields.
• NEWPDF export and share links render the chosen language correctly, including Korean and Japanese scripts.

Sign-in and password improvements

• NEWPassword sign-in now has a "Remember me" option that fills in your last-used email next time, and lets your browser or system password manager save and autofill your password.
• NEWSetting, changing, or resetting a password now asks you to enter the new password twice — they must match to submit, so a typo can't lock you out.

Now available in English

• NEWPrismResume is now available in English for international job seekers.
• NEWSwitching a resume to English automatically applies Western conventions: LinkedIn and personal website / portfolio fields are added, while fields that don't belong on a US/EU resume (gender, date of birth, marital status, expected salary, and similar) are hidden.
• NEWNew Publications section for listing papers, patents, and published work — useful for academic, research, and graduate applications.

Adjustable interviews and streaming AI

• NEWChoose your mock interview depth — Quick, Standard, or Deep — and the interviewer adapts with follow-up questions based on your answers.
• NEWAI rewriting and summary generation now stream in real time, so you see text appear as it's written instead of waiting on a spinner.

• FIXAI rewriting no longer fabricates numbers — where a metric is missing, it leaves a placeholder prompting you to fill it in, so you never put a figure on your resume you can't back up in the interview.
• FIXMock interviews are more resilient: you can retry through a network drop without losing your place, and report generation shows progress and can be retried if it fails.

New layouts and a results wall

• NEWSeven new structural layouts, including a two-column color band, timeline, magazine multi-column, centered full-page, and card grid — each with multiple color schemes.
• NEWThe new results-wall layout puts your quantified wins (growth rates, user numbers, project counts) side by side at the top of the resume, so your key numbers stand out.

Usage history

• NEWA new usage page lets you see your remaining AI, export, and mock-interview allowances in one place, along with where each came from.
• NEWEvery change to your balance — granted, used, or expired — is now logged so you can reconcile it yourself.

More templates and scenario filters

• NEWThe template library now holds 100+ designs, including a split two-column layout that places the main column and sidebar evenly side by side.
• NEWFilter templates by job situation — new grad, internship, career switch, management, and more — to find a fit faster.

• FIXPDF page breaks now match the editor preview exactly, so what you see is what exports.

Better resume sharing

• NEWSet an expiry on each share link — 7, 30, or 90 days, or a year.
• NEWA new sharing manager lets you see every active link, copy or delete it, and expired links stop working automatically.
• NEWShare links are tied to your account, so only you can manage and revoke them.

In-depth AI resume health check

• NEWThe resume health check now has an AI deep-read layer: role fit, a professionalism score, and 5–8 rewrite suggestions tied to your actual wording, plus flags for missing highlights.
• NEWThe AI quotes your own sentences and shows concrete rewrites instead of generic advice like 'add more metrics.'
• NEWPoint the check at a target role to get suggestions tailored to the job you're applying for.
• NEWATS rule checks remain free and unlimited.

AI mock interviews

• NEWGenerate a custom interview from your resume and a target role, with the AI playing the interviewer across multiple rounds of follow-up questions.
• NEWGet a scored report afterward: an overall score, a four-dimension breakdown, strengths, areas to improve, and suggested answers.
• NEWStart a mock interview straight from any application in your tracker — the company, role, and job description are filled in for you.
• NEWEvery past interview is saved, with the full conversation replay.

Job-description matching

• NEWPaste a job description and see your match score and the keywords you're missing for free, before deciding to optimize.
• NEWWhen the AI tailors your resume to a job description, review each change individually and accept or reject it — rejected lines keep your original wording, so it's never all-or-nothing.

Background PDF export with history

• NEWPDF export now runs in the background — your export is queued instead of holding up the browser, and even a 1–2 minute render won't time out; the download starts on its own when it's ready.
• NEWA new History panel shows your exports from the last 7 days with their status and file size. Re-download any finished file, or retry a failed one in one click.
• NEWEven if you close the wait dialog, the finished file stays in your history for 7 days.

Tailor your resume to a job description with AI

• NEWPaste a target job description, run a free match diagnosis (missing keywords and a match score), then let the AI rewrite your resume to fit.
• NEWThe AI keeps every fact intact — companies, titles, dates, numbers, and degrees — and only sharpens wording and aligns keywords. You review a side-by-side diff before anything is saved.
• NEWSaving creates a new copy and leaves your original untouched, so you can keep a tailored version per application.

Import an existing resume

• NEWStart from an existing resume: upload a text-based PDF or paste your current resume, and the AI structures your education, work, projects, and skills into a new resume.
• NEWThis works especially well for multi-column resumes, where copy-pasting from a PDF usually scrambles the order — uploading the PDF lets the AI parse it cleanly.
• NEWPreview the parsed result and edit the title or drop sections before anything is created.

Editor experience upgrade

• NEWThe save status is now a clear pill at the top — saved, saving, or failed (with retry) — visible at a glance.
• NEWA keyboard shortcut panel (open with Cmd+/) covers save, export, switch template, undo/redo, and more.
• NEWDrag-and-drop is clearer: the section you're moving is highlighted, and an insertion bar shows where it will land.
• NEWRich-text editing for your summary, with bold, italic, and lists.

Application tracker

• NEWTrack every application in one board — company, role, status, and interview notes together.
• NEWSeven status columns from applied through to offer make your pipeline easy to read at a glance.
• NEWRecord salary, total comp, pros, and cons with a 1–5 rating on each offer to compare them side by side.
• NEWEach application has its own timeline for logging interviewers, questions, and impressions, and stalled applications are flagged for follow-up.

Consistent rendering everywhere

• NEWThe editor preview, PDF export, and share link now look identical — no more 'looks great in the preview, breaks on export.'
• NEWPick a template and the preview updates live, so what you see is what you get.

• FIXFixed two-column layouts breaking pages too early and wasting space.
• FIXFixed columns being skipped when their content ran past a page break.

AI engine arrives

• NEWAI rewriting that reshapes your experience using the STAR method.
• NEWOne-click translation between English and Chinese for your whole resume.
• NEWAI-generated professional summary.
• NEWMatch-score diagnosis against a job description.
