Frequently asked questions
Is it really free?
Yes – all designs, PDF, Word and TXT downloads are free with no watermark and no sign-up.
Is my resume stored on your servers?
No. Everything you type is saved only in your own browser (so you can come back later) – there is no account. When you click Download, the content is sent once to create the file and is not stored or logged. Use "Clear" to remove it from this browser.
Is it ATS-friendly?
Yes. The PDF contains real, selectable text in reading order (no text inside images), standard section headings and simple fonts. For very strict applicant tracking systems choose the "ATS simple" design: one column, no tables, no photo.
What's the difference between a CV and a resume?
In the US a resume is a 1–2 page summary and a CV is a long academic record. In the UK, Europe and much of Asia 'CV' simply means resume. Use the Academic CV design for publications, teaching and grants.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. It works in any modern browser on iPhone, Android, Windows and Mac.
