Build a clean, professional resume in minutes with this free resume builder
Writing a CV from a blank page is hard, and most resume tools hide the good templates behind a signup wall or stamp a watermark across your finished file. This resume builder removes both problems. You fill in your details on the left, the white preview on the right redraws instantly as you type, and when it looks right you download a clean PDF. There is no account to create, no email to verify, and the downloaded file carries nothing but your own information.
It suits anyone putting a CV together: a student applying for a first job, someone switching careers, a freelancer who needs a tidy one-pager for a client, or an experienced professional who just wants to refresh an old document without paying for design software. Because everything runs in your browser, it works the same on a phone, a tablet or a laptop, and it stays usable even when your connection drops.
How to use it
- Pick one of the ten templates at the top, then set an accent colour (eight presets or your own custom colour) and a font style.
- Enter your name, job title and contact details, then write a short professional summary.
- Add your experience and education entries with the plus buttons, and type your skills as a comma-separated list.
- Check the live preview, then click Download PDF to save the file or Print to send it straight to a printer.
Ten templates and what each one is good for
The picker offers Classic, Modern, Two-Column, Sidebar, ATS, Minimal, Compact, Elegant, Bold and Timeline. Classic, Minimal and Compact are safe, single-column layouts that read well on screen and on paper. Modern and Bold lead with a coloured banner across the top for a confident first impression. Two-Column and Sidebar move your contact details, skills and education into a narrow left panel so the main column has room for your experience. Elegant centres everything for a calm, formal look, Timeline draws a vertical line linking your roles, and ATS is a deliberately plain, monochrome layout. Switching between them never loses your text, so you can audition all ten in a few seconds and keep the one that fits.
Why the ATS template matters for online applications
Many companies and job boards run your file through an applicant tracking system before a human ever sees it. Heavy graphics, multiple columns, icons and unusual fonts can confuse that software and scramble the order of your details. The ATS template here is intentionally simple — one column, a standard sans-serif font, plain section headings and no decorative blocks — so the parser reads your name, roles and dates in the right order. If you are applying through an online portal rather than handing your CV to a person, start with ATS and keep the wording specific to the job posting.
What makes a strong resume
A good CV is short, scannable and honest. Keep it to one page where you can, lead each experience entry with what you actually achieved rather than a list of duties, and put numbers on your results when you have them — projects shipped, percentage improvements, people managed. Use the professional summary at the top to say in two or three lines who you are and what you do best, and tailor your skills to match the language of the role you want. Consistent dates, no spelling slips and plenty of white space do more for you than any flashy design, which is why the templates here favour clear hierarchy over decoration.
Your data stays on your device
Everything you type lives only in your browser while the page is open. Nothing is uploaded to a server, there is no database storing your name or work history, and the PDF is generated locally on your machine. That means your personal contact details and employment record never leave your device, which is reassuring when your CV contains your phone number, address and email. There is also a small toggle to add or remove the Xnipertools mark in the footer of the document, so you can choose exactly what appears on the file you send.
