About this tool
Fill in a simple form and watch your resume take shape on a real page beside it. All three layouts use one column of real text, so tracking software reads your details in the right order. There is no sign-up, no watermark, and no payment at the download step.
Common questions
Is this resume ATS friendly?
Yes. Each layout is a single column with plain headings and real text, with no tables, text boxes or icons. We test that the PDF's text comes out in the same order you see it.
Should I add a photo?
The photo is off by default. Many employers in the US, UK and Canada prefer resumes without one, while it's common in parts of Europe, the Gulf and India. Check what's usual for the job.
Will my resume be cut in half across two pages?
No. An entry moves whole to the next page when it won't fit, and a heading stays with the text below it. The preview shows the exact page breaks you'll get in the PDF.
Is it free to use?
Yes. There's no sign-up for everyday use, and a free account raises the daily limit if you need more.
Do I need to install anything?
No. It works in your browser on a computer or a phone.
Is what I enter kept?
It's only used to get your result. Some public answers, such as the branches for a pincode, are kept for a while so the next lookup is quicker, but nothing links them to you.
