AI Cover Letter Generator

Jobscan’s AI cover letter generator writes your first draft from your resume’s real achievements and the requirements in the job description, so it starts from your actual experience rather than a generic template. From there, you can edit the wording directly until the cover letter reads the way you'd say it, or hit Rewrite for a different take on the same role.

You can generate cover letters during your 7-day Jobscan free trial. After that, the cover letter generator is part of Jobscan Premium, which unlocks unlimited tailored cover letters alongside the Resume Scanner, Resume Builder, and LinkedIn optimization tools. An account is required to generate a cover letter.

A cover letter builder or cover letter maker is a tool that helps you create a professional, tailored cover letter quickly. It's a useful option when you want to save time and improve the quality of every application, particularly when you're applying to several roles and writing each cover letter from scratch isn't realistic.

Ideally, yes. Tailoring your cover letter to each posting makes it more relevant to the role. A cover letter generator based on the job description helps you do that quickly, aligning the cover letter with the skills and keywords that specific role calls for instead of reusing one master version.

That's the intended way to use it. Upload your resume once and the generator draws your titles, achievements, and metrics from it, then positions them against the posting you paste in. It works as a resume cover letter generator, so the two documents tell the same story in the same language.

Yes. Jobscan uses the job description to identify the skills, qualifications, and requirements relevant to the position, then uses that information alongside your resume to generate a cover letter from the job description you're actually applying to.

Jobscan's cover letter generator exports to PDF rather than Word. PDF preserves your formatting and is widely accepted across application portals and applicant tracking systems, so your cover letter looks the way you intended when a recruiter opens it.

To use ChatGPT to write a cover letter, give it your resume, the job description, and any details you want it to emphasize. You can start with a prompt like: “Write a one-page cover letter for this role using my resume and the job description. Highlight the experience and achievements most relevant to the position, keep the tone professional and natural, and don’t invent any information.”

Review the draft carefully before using it. General AI tools can produce generic wording, miss important details from the posting, or introduce claims that aren’t supported by your resume. You may also need to adjust the formatting yourself for the application.

The best AI cover letter generator depends on what you need from the tool. Look for resume-based writing, job-description tailoring, personalized content, ATS-friendly formatting, AI rewrites, editing controls, and convenient export options. Jobscan's cover letter generator covers all of those, and it's built on more than 10 years of experience with how applicant tracking systems read applications.
