Free resume builder
Fill in your details, watch the resume update, and save it as a PDF. No account needed and no watermark.
About the resume builder
This builder lets you write a resume (also called a CV) in a form and see the finished page update beside it. You pick one of ten templates, then change the colour and font until it looks right. Everything runs in your browser, so your details are never sent to a server. When you are done, you download a clean PDF with real, selectable text.
How it works
- Five templates are included: Classic, Modern, Minimal, Bold and Compact. You can switch between them at any time without retyping anything.
- The preview on the page updates as you type, so you can see line breaks and page length straight away.
- You choose an accent colour and a font. Your text and sections stay the same when you change the look.
- The PDF is made through your browser's print window. You choose Save as PDF as the destination, and the text stays selectable, which suits applicant tracking systems.
- You can save your resume as a file on your device and load it again later. There is also an example you can import to see how a finished resume reads.
- Limits: the builder does not write your content for you, and long resumes may spill onto a second page, so check the preview before you save.
How to use it
Step 1
Import the example or start blank, then enter your contact details, summary, work history, education and skills.
Step 2
Pick a template, colour and font, and check the live preview for page length and spacing.
Step 3
Click download, choose Save as PDF in the print window, and save a copy of your resume file as a backup.
Good to know
- Keep one page if you have under about ten years of experience. Use the Compact template if you are a few lines over.
- Save the resume file after each edit session. Your browser is the only place the draft lives until you do.
- Name the PDF with your name and the role, for example Maya_Okafor_Resume_Accountant.pdf, so the recruiter can find it later.
Questions
Is my information uploaded anywhere?
Not unless you choose. The builder runs in your browser and your resume stays on your device. If you create a free account and sign in, the resumes you save are stored on our server so you can open them on other devices. Without an account, nothing is uploaded.
Why does the PDF use the print dialog?
Printing to PDF is done by your browser, so it keeps the text selectable instead of turning the page into a flat picture. That helps applicant tracking systems read it. In the print window, set the destination to Save as PDF and turn off headers and footers.
Is it really free, with no watermark?
Yes. There is no payment step and nothing is added to your PDF. You can download as many versions as you like.
