Resume Builder
Fill in the sections, pick a layout, and print to PDF from your own browser, with no account to make and no watermark on the page. The resume is yours: it is saved in this browser as you type, exports as a file you keep, and imports back later on any browser. Nothing is uploaded. Three templates (Classic, Modern and Compact), Letter or A4, an accent colour, sections you can reorder, and a fit line that says how many pages the preview needs. The preview is real text on a paper-sized sheet, and the PDF comes from your browser's own print dialog, so downloading it costs nothing.

The header of the resume. Only the name is required to print.
Print to PDF opens your browser's print dialog with only the resume on the page. Choose Save as PDF as the destination. The file is written by your own machine and never leaves it.
Common questions
- Is it really free?
- Yes. Building the resume, picking a template, saving it, exporting the file and downloading the PDF are all free, with no trial and no payment step at the end. That core job is never gated. If paid extras ever exist they will sit alongside the free tool, never in front of it.
- Where is my resume stored?
- In this browser, and nowhere else. It is written to your browser's local storage a moment after each change, under one key, and it is there the next time you open the page on the same browser and device. Nothing is sent to a server. Clear removes it after a second click to confirm, and clearing your browser's site data removes it too. To keep a copy, or move it to another browser, use Export file: it writes a small JSON file of everything you typed, and Import reads that file back.
- How do I download my resume as a PDF?
- Choose Print to PDF. That opens your browser's own print dialog with everything except the resume removed from the page, sized to Letter or A4, whichever you picked. Set the destination to Save as PDF and confirm. The file is written by your own machine. Page breaks follow the browser's rules, so the fit line under the preview is an estimate: it counts pages from the preview's height at true size, and a heading the browser refuses to strand at the foot of a page can push a line over.
- Which templates are there?
- Three, picked under Layout. Classic is a serif page with a centred header and ruled section headings, Modern is sans-serif with the name and section headings in your accent colour, and Compact uses smaller type, tighter spacing and a one-line header to fit more on a page. All three keep the same one-column structure and only change type and spacing, so you can switch at any time and every word stays where it was.
- Does it use AI to write the resume?
- No. Every word on the page is one you typed: nothing is generated, rewritten or scored, and nothing you type is sent to an AI service or anywhere else, because it never leaves this browser. If you draft bullets somewhere else, paste them into the fields and the preview treats them like anything you typed.
- Can I get it as plain text, or paste it into Word?
- Yes. Copy as text puts the whole resume on your clipboard as plain text, headings in capitals and one bullet per line, in the same order as the paper. It pastes into an application form, an email, or a Word or Google Docs document, where you can style it yourself. There is no .docx download: the formatted versions are the preview and the PDF.
- Can I make a CV with it?
- Yes. In the UK, Ireland, Europe and much of the world a CV is the document the US calls a resume: choose A4 under Paper and the same sections work. An academic CV with long publication lists is a different document. Projects can hold a few entries, but there is no dedicated Publications section.
- Do I need to download or install anything?
- No. It runs in any current browser on Windows, macOS, ChromeOS, Linux, iPhone, iPad or Android, with no app or program to install and no extension. The only file involved is the one you choose to keep: the PDF, or the exported resume file.
- Is the resume ATS-friendly?
- The layout is the plain kind applicant tracking software reads best: real text rather than an image, one column, no tables, no text boxes, section headings in ordinary words like Experience and Education, and dates written out. Every layout here, including Modern and Compact, keeps that structure and only changes type and spacing. What an ATS actually extracts depends on the system, so for a form that asks you to paste, use Copy as text: it gives the same content as plain text in the same order.
- Can I use it on my phone?
- Yes. The section list and the preview stack one above the other, the fields sit under them, and every button is sized for a thumb. The resume saves in the phone's browser the same way. Printing to PDF works wherever the phone's browser offers Save as PDF or Share from the print screen, which iOS Safari and Android Chrome both do; the preview is scaled to fit the screen, and the PDF prints at true size.
- Can I change the order of the sections?
- Yes. Each section in the list has Up and Down buttons, and the preview reorders as you click. Contact stays at the top because it is the header. Empty sections are left off the paper, so an unused Projects section costs nothing.
- What does the sample contain?
- An invented product designer with invented employers, so you can see all three layouts filled before typing a word. Load sample keeps your layout, paper and accent and replaces the text; nothing in it refers to a real person or a real company.
Your resume is stored in this browser only and exported as a file you keep; nothing is uploaded and nothing is watermarked. The PDF is produced by your browser's own print dialog, so page breaks follow its rules and the fit line is an estimate from the preview.
