Resume / CV Builder

Resume / CV Builder turns what you type into a tidy, professional CV. Choose one of six templates we designed ourselves (Clean, Modern, Classic, Compact, Bold header and Minimal), pick the fonts and an accent colour, and the pages on the right update as you type. They break exactly where the PDF will, so there are no surprises after you download.

Many “free” CV sites ask for an account or a payment just as you try to download. This one doesn’t. The PDF holds real, selectable text in the fonts you picked, with clickable links, and the Word file is ready to edit.

Everything happens in your browser. Your CV is saved on this device as you go, and a backup file moves it to another computer. Nothing is uploaded.

1. Pick a template under “Template and look”, or press “Sample CV” to see a filled-in example first.
2. Fill in “Personal details”, then each section: Profile, Experience, Education and Skills are there to start, and “Add a section” adds Projects, Certifications, Languages or your own.
3. Reorder sections and entries by dragging the dotted handle, with the arrow buttons, or by focusing the handle and pressing the up and down arrow keys.
4. Adjust the fonts, colour, paper size, margins, spacing and text size until it fits the pages you want.
5. Press “Download PDF” to send it, or “Word (.docx)” to keep editing. On a phone, tap “Preview and download” first.

• Six templates: five single-column layouts and one two-column layout with a tinted side panel.
• Five bundled fonts (Onest, Montserrat, Lora, Playfair Display, Funnel Display), chosen separately for headings and text, ten accent colours plus any colour you like.
• A4 or US Letter, three margin widths, three spacing settings and three text sizes.
• Sections for profile, experience, education, skills (as a list or with five-dot levels), projects, certifications, languages, and as many of your own sections as you need.
• Live preview that paginates like the PDF and never leaves a heading alone at the foot of a page.
• PDF with selectable, searchable text and the fonts embedded (only the letters used, so files stay small, usually under 40 KB without a photo).
• Word (.docx) download with real headings and bullet lists, plus a JSON backup you can open again later.
• Optional photo, cropped to a square.

• For online applications, use a single-column template. Applicant tracking systems (ATS, the software many employers use to read CVs) read single-column PDFs top to bottom in the order you see them. Modern stores its side panel first and then the main column, which most systems handle, but a strict one may mix the two.
• Start each bullet point with what you did and end with a measurable result: “Rebuilt the onboarding emails, cutting support tickets by a third.”
• Two pages is normal for experienced people in Australia and the UK; in the US one page is expected early in a career.
• Leave the photo off unless the job ad asks for one or it’s the custom where you apply.
• Your CV lives in this browser. Clearing site data or using a private window removes it, so press “Save backup” before switching devices or browsers.
• Every font covers Latin-alphabet languages and most cover Cyrillic and Vietnamese. If a letter can’t be drawn, the page names it; the Word file keeps every character.
