Most resume builders let you do the work and then ask for a card before they will let you download it. This one does not: fill in your details, watch the real PDF update as you type, and download it. Your draft is kept in your browser so you can come back to it, and you can save it as a file to reopen next year. Nothing about your work history is uploaded anywhere.

How to make a resume for free

  1. 1

    Enter your details

    Contact details, a short summary, your jobs with what you actually achieved, education and skills. The preview shows the real PDF as you go.

  2. 2

    Pick a template and paper

    Classic reads as formal and traditional, Modern is a little lighter, Compact fits more on a page. Choose A4 or US Letter for where you are applying.

  3. 3

    Download and keep the draft

    Download the PDF, then save your details as a file so the next version takes five minutes instead of an evening.

Why your resume should not be uploaded

A resume is a complete profile of you: full name, address, phone, email, employer and dates. Uploading it to a free builder hands all of that to a company whose business is not making resumes. Here it never leaves your browser.

Applying through a company portal?

Portals read the file with software before a person sees it. The layout here is designed to survive that.

Frequently asked questions

Is it really free?+

Yes. There is no account, no watermark on the PDF, no limit on downloads and nothing to pay at the end.

Where are my details stored?+

In your own browser, and only there. Nothing is sent to a server, so a resume listing your current employer and your phone number does not end up in someone database.

How long should a resume be?+

One page for most people, two if you have more than about ten years of relevant experience. The Compact template helps when you are just over.

Can I edit it later?+

Yes, in two ways. The draft stays in this browser, and you can save your details as a file and open it again on any device.
