Build My Resume

Questions, answered plainly.

Is it really free?

Yes. You can build a resume and download it as a PDF with any of the free templates, with no trial, no watermark and no card. The only paid item is the optional Premium Template Pack.

Do I need an account?

No. Open the builder and start typing. An account is only created if you buy the Premium Pack, so your purchase stays attached to you.

Where is my data stored?

In your own browser, on your own device. Your resume is not sent to our server. That also means clearing your browser data clears your resume, so use Save a backup file if you want a copy or plan to switch devices.

Will it pass ATS?

Our templates use real selectable text, standard section headings and no text inside images. The With Photo designs are built for looks first, so they are riskier with these systems, and many US employers prefer resumes without photos. No tool can promise how every employer's system will score a resume, so we suggest trying your PDF in a free ATS checker and matching your wording to the job posting.

What's in the Premium Pack?

Seventeen extra templates (Executive, Modern Sidebar, Minimal Luxe, Bold Creative, Healthcare Clean, Tech Compact, Corporate, Editorial, Consultant, Timeline, Monogram, Fresh Start, Photo Band, Icon Sidebar, Color Block, Dark and Typographic), each with its own layout, full-page color and more color options. You pay $15 once and keep them for life.

Can I edit after downloading?

Yes. Your resume stays saved in the browser you built it in, so come back, change anything and download again as often as you like. Keep a backup file if you want to edit on another device.

Refunds?

If you are unhappy with the Premium Pack, ask within 7 days of buying and we will refund you. See the Refund Policy for details.
