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.
Do I need to write it by hand?
Most companies now accept a printed or PDF 履歴書. If one asks for handwriting, print the empty form and copy your text.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. It works in any modern browser on iPhone, Android, Windows and Mac.
