LinkedIn import

Turn your LinkedIn profile into a resume

Import LinkedIn’s own data export instead of retyping it. Every position, school and skill becomes an entry you can edit, expand with AI, and put on a resume.

How it works

  1. Step 1

    Request your LinkedIn data export

    On LinkedIn, open Settings & Privacy → Data privacy → Get a copy of your data. Choose the full archive or just profile, positions, education and skills. LinkedIn emails you a link to a ZIP file, usually within minutes for the smaller export.

  2. Step 2

    Import the ZIP into Refacet

    Upload the ZIP as it is — no need to unpack it. Refacet reads your profile, positions, education, skills, certifications and projects.

  3. Step 3

    Review what came in

    Everything found in the export is listed for review. Untick what you don’t want; the rest joins your profile, where you can edit any entry.

  4. Step 4

    Fill in what LinkedIn leaves out

    LinkedIn entries are often a title and a date. Chat with the AI about each role to turn it into bullets with results, then build and export your resume.

A LinkedIn profile isn’t a resume yet

LinkedIn is written for being found: a headline, a list of titles, maybe a sentence per role. A resume is written for a specific reader deciding whether to call you, and it needs what LinkedIn usually lacks — what you achieved in each role, with numbers, and in the terms of the job you want.

So the import is the starting point. Once your history is in, the AI goes through it with you, asking about each role until there’s enough to write real bullets. Then you can tailor the resume to each job description you apply for.

What gets imported

  • Profile: name, headline and summary.
  • Positions: company, title, dates, location and description.
  • Education: school, degree and dates.
  • Skills, certifications and projects.

Anything in the export you don’t want on a resume can be dropped during review.

Questions

Why use the data export instead of “Save to PDF”?
LinkedIn’s “Save to PDF” gives you a fixed layout that’s hard to edit and loses structure. The data export contains your profile as structured data, so each position, school and skill comes in as its own entry.
Do I need to give Refacet my LinkedIn password?
No. You download the export from LinkedIn yourself and upload the file. Refacet never connects to your LinkedIn account.
Can I import my current resume too?
Yes. You can also import a PDF, Word, Markdown or text resume. Importing both is a good way to catch roles or details that only one of them has.
Is it free?
Importing a LinkedIn export and editing your profile is free; new accounts also get free credits for the AI features. The desktop app is free with your own AI key.
