How the free CV builder works
Fill in the fields, watch the preview update, download the PDF. There is no account, no watermark and no export fee, and nothing you type is sent anywhere — the document is generated on your own device.
Enter your details
Contact information, a short professional summary, your roles, education and skills. The preview beside the form updates as you type, so you can see the finished layout while you write rather than after.
The layout stays deliberately plain
One column, conventional section headings and selectable text throughout. Plain layouts like this are widely recommended for applications that pass through screening software, which tends to handle simple structures more predictably than multi-column designs.
Download the PDF
The file is built in your browser and saved straight to your device. Nothing is uploaded, so there is no copy of your CV sitting on our servers afterwards.
What the template does, and why
- A single column, so the reading order stays unambiguous
- Conventional headings such as Experience and Education rather than invented labels
- Real selectable text throughout — text inside an image cannot be extracted at all
- Consistent date formatting, so your timeline is easy to follow
- No icons, tables or decorative graphics competing with the content
Common questions
- Is the CV builder really free?
- Yes, and there is no account, no watermark and no export paywall. It costs us nothing per use because the PDF is generated on your own device, which is why we can leave it open.
- Does my data get uploaded or stored?
- No. Everything you type stays in your browser and the PDF is built there too — nothing is sent to a server, so there is nothing for us to store. Closing the tab discards it.
- Is the CV suitable for applicant tracking systems?
- It is built to avoid the things that commonly cause parsing problems: it uses a single column, standard section headings and real selectable text rather than graphics. No tool can guarantee how a particular employer's system will treat any given file, but a plain structure gives it the best chance.
- Can I come back and edit it later?
- Not automatically, because nothing is saved anywhere. Keep the downloaded PDF, and re-enter your details if you want to change it. That is the trade for not asking you to hand over your data.
- What if I want someone to write it for me?
- The builder gives you a clean, correctly structured document from your own words. If you want the words themselves improved, that is what the paid rewrite and the done-for-you writing service are for.
