About this tool

Building a professional resume should not require an account, a subscription, or uploading your personal information to a cloud server. This free resume builder runs entirely in your browser — no login, no AI, no data collection — so your career details stay where they belong: on your own device.

Every keystroke auto-saves to your browser's localStorage and the "● Auto-saved" indicator confirms it. When you're ready, one click opens a print-ready PDF in a new tab. Select "Save as PDF" in your browser's print dialog and you have a polished, watermark-free resume file ready to send to employers.

14 templates to match every career stage and style

Classic is the go-to for most job seekers: a clean single-column layout with accent-colored section headers and a dividing rule. It's recognized by every ATS and reads well by human recruiters. Minimal takes a typographic approach — large bold name, a short accent bar, and light grey labels — for a contemporary look that still parses cleanly through automated screening. Timeline adds a vertical bar with accent-colored dot markers through each experience entry, giving structure and flow without sacrificing ATS compatibility.

Elegant centers your name in all-caps with symmetrical ruled dividers flanking each section label — a refined, editorial look suited to design, academia, and creative fields. Sharp uses a bottom-bordered header and block-filled section label badges with a subtle left border on content — geometric and corporate. Card wraps each experience, education, and project entry in a soft rounded card with a light border, giving the resume a clean dashboard feel.

Stripe runs a bold 10px accent bookmark stripe down the entire left edge with clean typography throughout — minimal but instantly distinctive. Monochrome ignores the accent color entirely and uses pure black typography with heavy double-line rules — perfect for law, finance, and academic CVs where color is inappropriate.

Modern uses a colored left sidebar for contact info, skills, and certifications. Executive has a dark navy header with your name in white. Bold fills the entire header with your accent color. Gradient uses a diagonal accent-to-dark header with decorative circles. Columns splits the body into a left column for skills and education and a right column for experience and projects. Slate mirrors Modern but replaces the colored sidebar with near-black (#0f172a) for a sleeker, more sophisticated look.

ATS-friendly by design

Seven templates are optimized for ATS compatibility: Classic, Minimal, Timeline, Elegant, Sharp, Card, and Stripe. All use single-column (or clearly structured) layouts, standard heading tags, no embedded tables or graphics, and logical top-to-bottom reading order — the exact format that ATS parsers and recruiting software handle reliably. If you're applying through job boards or company portals, choose any of these seven. The remaining templates (Modern, Executive, Bold, Gradient, Columns, Slate, Monochrome) are best for direct-apply situations, networking introductions, or industries where visual presentation is a differentiator.

Six professional fonts

Inter is the clean, modern default used by many tech companies. Roboto offers a neutral, highly readable style trusted by Google's own design system. Open Sans is a versatile workhorse that prints crisply at small sizes. Lato has a humanist warmth that works well for non-technical roles. Merriweather is a traditional serif — excellent for academic CVs, legal, finance, and consulting. Playfair Display is an elegant high-contrast serif for creative directors, writers, and executive-level candidates. All fonts load from Google Fonts and render identically in the live preview and the exported PDF.

Seven flexible sections

Toggle and reorder all seven sections to suit your background. The Summary section is a free-text paragraph — use it for a professional headline or career objective. Experience supports multiple positions, each with job title, company, location, date range, a "currently working here" toggle, and unlimited bullet points with helpful placeholder prompts. Education supports multiple entries with institution, degree, field, and GPA. Skills lets you create groups with optional category labels (e.g. "Frontend: React, TypeScript, CSS"). Projects supports name, URL, tech stack, and a description paragraph. Certifications and Languages round out the profile.

Export and import for backup and portability

Click "↑ Export" to save your entire resume — all sections, settings, template choice, font, and accent color — as a single JSON file. "↓ Import" restores it on any device. Keep separate JSON files for different resume versions (software engineer, product manager, freelancer) and load whichever fits the application.

Common Use Cases

💼
Job seekers applying through company portals and job boards
Most company portals and job boards (LinkedIn Easy Apply, Greenhouse, Lever, Workday) feed resumes through ATS software before a human sees them. Choose the Classic or Minimal template — both use a single-column layout, standard headings, and clean text that every ATS parser handles correctly. Fill in your experience with keyword-rich bullet points matching the job description. Download as PDF and submit. No subscription needed, no account, no waiting.
👨‍💻
Software engineers and developers building a technical resume
Enable the Skills section and group your stack by category — "Languages", "Frontend", "Backend", "Infra & DevOps" — so recruiters and hiring managers can scan your toolkit instantly. Use the Projects section to show side projects and open-source contributions with GitHub URLs and tech stack. The Classic template's ATS-safe format works for FAANG and startup applications alike. Export a JSON backup and keep separate versions for frontend, backend, or full-stack roles.
🎓
Recent graduates writing their first professional resume
Move Education above Experience in the "Sections — Toggle & Reorder" panel so your degree is the first thing a recruiter sees. Enable Certifications to list AWS, Google, or Coursera credentials that demonstrate initiative. Use the Skills section to list languages, frameworks, and tools from coursework and projects. The Minimal template's clean typography looks polished even with limited experience, and the ATS badge means it'll pass automated screening at large employers.
🏢
Senior professionals and executives targeting direct-apply roles
The Executive template's dark navy header and accent stripe make an immediate visual impact for senior and C-suite applications where design signals authority. Use the summary section to open with a 3-sentence leadership statement: scope of teams managed, industries, and measurable outcomes. Accent colors like slate (#374151) or dark teal (#0f766e) project professionalism. For board applications or executive search firms, export to PDF — the print output is indistinguishable from a professionally designed resume.
🔄
Career changers restructuring their resume narrative
Drag Summary to the top, then Skills directly below it — leading with transferable competencies before work history reframes your experience for the new field. Use the Summary section to bridge your past and target role in 2–3 sentences. In the Skills section, highlight tools and methodologies relevant to the new industry and downplay domain-specific ones. Keep multiple JSON exports — one for your current field and one for each target role — and import whichever you need in seconds.
🔒
Privacy-conscious users who won't upload personal data to SaaS tools
Every major online resume builder — Canva, Zety, Resume.com, Novoresume — stores your data on their servers, ties it to an account, and monetizes it through subscriptions or data practices. This builder stores nothing outside your browser. Your name, address, employment history, and contact details never leave your device. The only external request is to Google Fonts to load the typeface. Use it on a work laptop, a personal device, or in a private browsing window — your data goes nowhere.
🌐
Freelancers managing multiple resume versions for different clients
Export a separate JSON file for each service you offer — one for "Web Development", one for "UX Consulting", one for "Technical Writing". Each can have different section orders, skills groups, projects, and summary text. Import any version in one click to tailor your resume to the specific client or contract. The Modern template works well for creative freelance pitches; Classic is better for enterprise contracts that go through a procurement process.
📴
Users working offline or in low-connectivity environments
Once the page loads, the resume builder works entirely offline. Auto-save writes to localStorage with every keystroke, so losing your connection mid-edit loses nothing. The PDF download opens a new browser tab — no server round-trip needed. The only thing that requires internet is loading a new Google Font for the first time. If you're working on a plane, in a hotel with poor Wi-Fi, or in a region with restricted internet access, use Inter (default) which loads on the first visit and is cached by the browser.
