Yes. Many online tools let you build a resume for free but charge you at the very end to download the PDF. Our tool is 100% free from start to finish. There are no premium templates, no trial periods, and no watermark on the finished resume. You do not need to sign up or enter a card to download.

An Applicant Tracking System (ATS) is software used by employers to scan and filter resumes. To pass an ATS, a resume must use standard text formatting rather than complex images or tables. Our builder exports your resume as real, selectable text. If you are applying to a large corporation, we recommend our single-column templates (like Classic Top or Executive Serif) for maximum ATS compatibility.

There is no account, so nothing is saved to a profile. The text you type stays in your browser while you build, and is only sent to our server if you press AI Write - which forwards that one snippet to our AI provider to rewrite it. Photos and signatures are uploaded so they can be embedded in your resume, and are automatically deleted from our servers after one hour. The PDF itself is generated inside your browser.

No. AI Write only rewrites text you have already written - it sharpens the wording and structure of your own content. In custom sections such as Certifications or Languages it is instructed to preserve every name, date, level and credential number exactly as you typed it. Always read the suggestion before applying it, and never let a resume claim something you cannot back up in an interview.

If you have less than 5 years of experience, stick to one page. Recruiters scan resumes quickly, and a concise one-page document is highly effective. If you have 10+ years of relevant experience, a two-page resume is perfectly acceptable. Our builder ensures clean page breaks so your sections never get awkwardly cut in half.

Not yet - because there are no accounts, nothing is stored between visits. Download your PDF before closing the tab. If you want to make changes later, rebuild it with the same details, or keep the PDF and edit it in our Edit PDF tool.

Keep the original under 500KB in JPG, PNG or WEBP format. The built-in cropper lets you pan and zoom to frame your face, and it compresses the cropped result automatically. If your photo is larger than 500KB, run it through our free Image Compressor first. A photo is optional - in many countries, including the UK and US, resumes are usually sent without one.

It links to whatever you choose - LinkedIn, a portfolio, GitHub - so a recruiter can scan it straight off a printed page. It is generated in your browser and the link is never sent to us. The web address is also printed as text underneath it, so applicant tracking systems (which ignore images) can still read your link.

Yes! Alongside our 11 premium templates, you can choose from 12 different accent colors. Just click the "Colour" button above the preview panel to swap the theme instantly. The color applies perfectly across all templates.

You can add any custom category using the "Extra Sections" step at the bottom of the editor. Just type in your own heading (like "Languages" or "Awards") and add your details. Our AI assistant can even help you format these custom sections cleanly.

You can upload an image of your signature in the "Personal Details" section, and it will be neatly placed at the bottom of your downloaded PDF. If you do not have a digital signature yet, you can create one for free using our Signature Generator tool, download it, and upload it here.
