TopCV.io does **not** guarantee ATS pass rates, interviews, or job offers. Outputs are AI-generated drafts requiring final human review before submission.

## What this tool does

Paste CV text to estimate word count and page length (~250 words/page). Typical targets: US resume 1–2 pages; UK CV ~2 pages; German Lebenslauf 2–3 pages. Too short usually means missing achievements; too long usually means irrelevant history.
## Limits

Page estimates assume standard fonts and margins. Country norms matter more than a global page cap — see [CV formats by country](https://www.topcv.io/blog/cv-formats-by-country-comparison).
