Frequently asked questions

Is this resume maker really free?

Yes, completely free — no sign-up, no watermark and no hidden charges. Create and download as many resumes as you like.

Is the resume ATS-friendly?

Yes. The PDF is generated as real, selectable text in a clean single-column layout using standard fonts, so applicant tracking systems can parse it. Avoid overloading it with images if you want the best results.

Is my information uploaded anywhere?

No. The resume maker runs entirely in your browser — your details and photo never leave your device, and nothing is stored on our servers. Your draft is saved only to this browser.

Should I add a photo to my resume?

It's optional and off by default. In many countries a photo is discouraged and some applicant tracking systems ignore images, so add one only if it's expected where you're applying.

What if my resume is longer than one page?

Extra A4 pages are added automatically as you add more content, so nothing gets cut off — your PDF will have as many pages as needed.

Can I add my own sections?

Yes. Use “Add section” for Work Experience, Education, Projects, Skills, Summary or a fully custom section, rename any section title, and reorder or hide anything you don't need.

What format is the downloaded resume?

A standard A4 PDF with selectable text, generated right in your browser and downloaded straight to your device. You can open it to print or upload it anywhere.
