Plain-text CV & privacy cleaner

Two jobs that come up constantly: pasting your CV into a job portal form that mangles formatting, and sharing it publicly without giving away your phone number and address.

Your CV

Pull in the CV you built here, or paste any CV text.

Portal forms usually strip bold, tabs and fancy bullets, which leaves a CV looking broken. This converts it first so what you paste is what they see.

Ready to paste

Load or paste a CV on the left.

What to hide

Turn on what should be removed before you post this anywhere public.

Check the result yourself before sharing. This finds common patterns — phone numbers in most formats, emails, CNIC, dates of birth and street addresses — but no pattern matcher catches everything. Read the cleaned version line by line.

Cleaned version

Found items are listed under the switches on the left.

Paste something on the left.
When is this needed? Posting a CV on a public job board, sending a sample to an unknown recruiter, or sharing it in a group. A normal application to a named employer should keep your contact details — they need to reach you.

Plain-text export and privacy cleaner

Many job portals ask you to paste your CV into a text box; a PDF pasted there turns into a mess. The exporter produces clean plain text with sections and bullets intact. The privacy cleaner finds phone numbers, national ID numbers, dates of birth and street addresses and lets you mask or remove them — useful before posting a CV on a job board or in a group where you do not know who will see it.

Both run in your browser. Nothing is sent anywhere.
