Why this one?

Actually free

Not free-trial free. Not free-until-you-click-download free. Free free. We checked — it still exists as a business model.

Private by design

Your data lives in your browser’s localStorage, on your machine. We couldn’t leak it if we wanted to — and we don’t.

ATS-friendly PDFs

The exported PDF is real, selectable text — not a screenshot of your hopes and dreams. Resume-scanning robots can actually read it.

No account, ever

No email, no password, no “verify your inbox”. You show up, you make a CV, you leave. Like a good shop.

How to make a CV that gets read

The builder handles the layout. What goes in it is still on you, so here is the short version of what recruiters expect, without the padding.

What goes on it, in this order

Contact details, then a two-line summary of who you are and what you want next, then experience with the most recent job first. Education follows, unless you are a student or a recent graduate, in which case it moves to the top. Finish with skills, plus languages or certifications if the role needs them. To see the order applied to a real job, the resume examples cover 22 of them.

One page, two at most

One page suits most people. Two is fine once you have ten or more years of relevant experience, and anything older than that usually earns a line rather than a paragraph. How far back to go has its own rule of thumb.

Keep the format boring

A single column, standard headings like Experience and Education, and a common font at 10 to 12pt. Then export a text PDF, not a picture of one. The templates here already do all of that, and the font question is shorter than it looks.

Tailor it to each job

Read the job ad and use its words for the skills you actually have. Applicant tracking systems match on terms, and so do tired recruiters. Here is what ATS-friendly really means, minus the scare statistics.

No experience yet?

Lead with education, projects, volunteering and part-time work, each described like a job: what you did and what changed because of it. Everyone’s first CV is built this way, and this guide walks through it section by section.

Write it yourself

There is no AI button in the editor, and that is deliberate. Generated bullet points all sound alike, and specific ones are what get callbacks. Here is why we left it out.

Build it, then build it well

Templates get you started. These get you hired.

Carefully designed. Mercilessly A4.

A timeline of lucky breaks.

The Ambitious Intern

Blobs are a personality.

Hire Me Maybe

Dark stage, big dreams.

Surprisingly Employable

Solid, with a square agenda.

AI-Proof

Loved by AI. Tolerated by humans.

Frequently asked questions

Is it really free?

Yes. Every template, every color, the PDF export — all of it. There is no checkout page hiding somewhere. We looked.

Where is my data stored?

In your browser’s localStorage, on your device. Nothing is sent to a server, mostly because there is barely a server.

Do I need an account?

No. There is no sign-up form. There is no login page. If you find one, it belongs to a different website.

Can I come back and edit later?

Yes — your browser remembers your draft automatically. Come back on the same device and browser, and it will be waiting for you. You can also export your data as JSON and import it anywhere else.

Can I make a CV on my phone?

Yes. The editor works in a phone browser: switch between Edit and Preview at the top, and the extra design options fold away so the form gets the screen. Download PDF opens your phone’s print or share sheet, where you choose Save as PDF.

Does it use AI to write my CV?

No, on purpose. AI-written bullet points come out sounding like everyone else’s, and a recruiter reading two hundred of them can tell. You write it; the builder makes it look good.

Why does this exist?

Because the 1,000,000 resume builders before this one mostly sold your email address and a watermark. We thought the world had room for one more that just makes CVs. Ironic, but kind.
