Pick a design to get started. You can change templates anytime while building — your details always carry over.
No templates match these filters yet.
More templates are on the way — try another combination for now.
The Resume Creator turns the hardest part of job hunting, staring at a blank page, into a short guided form. You choose a layout, answer clear questions, and watch a finished document take shape beside you.
Every template on this page uses a structure that Applicant Tracking Systems read reliably: real text, standard section headings, and a single reading order. That means you can focus on what you have achieved, not on whether a column will scramble in a parser. Your details stay in the browser while you work, there is no account to create, and the PDF you download carries no watermark.
If this is your first time, read this walkthrough once and then keep the page open while you work. Everything below matches the controls you will actually see on screen.
Quick start in six moves
The gallery shows every template as a card. The counter beside the filters tells you how many match your choices. If no template fits, press Reset Filters to see them all again. Click a card to select it and open the builder.
The sections are arranged in the order a recruiter reads a resume, so working down the page gives you a sensible document. Start with the easy parts, your name and contact details, to build momentum. Do not try to write a perfect summary first. Many people find it easier to write the experience section and then come back to the summary, because by then they know what their strongest points are.
Each repeating section has its own button: Add Work Experience, Add Education, Add Certification, and Add Project. Press it once for each extra item. Add the most recent first, because that is the order the finished resume will follow. If you add an entry you do not need, remove it rather than leaving it blank, so no empty heading appears in your PDF.
The photo upload appears for templates that include one. It accepts PNG, JPEG, and WebP images. Choose a clear head-and-shoulders picture with a plain background and professional clothing. If you change your mind, press Remove. If you chose a no-photo template, you will not see this option at all.
The floating Preview Resume button opens your document in a full-size window. Use it every time you finish a section. Close it with the close control or by pressing Escape to return to the form exactly where you left off.
Near the bottom you will find the ATS score bar and a short list of tips. The score starts at zero and rises as you complete sections. Read each tip, fix what applies, and watch the number respond. When you are satisfied, press Download PDF Resume. The file is generated in your browser and saved to your device.
The Creator works on mobile, but long forms are easier on a larger screen. If you are on a phone, type short bullets, use the preview button often to catch layout problems, and double-check the PDF on a bigger display before sending it to an employer.
Use the three filters above the gallery to narrow the choice quickly. Each answers a practical question about your situation.
Do not worry about getting it perfect. Your information carries over when you switch templates, so you can try two or three designs on the same content in a few seconds and keep the one that gives you the cleanest page.
Add your full name, a professional email address, a phone number you actually answer, and your city and country. A link to a professional profile or portfolio is worth including. A full street address is unnecessary and best left out for privacy.
Write two or three sentences: your professional identity, your strongest relevant skills, and one concrete result. Compare "Motivated professional seeking a challenging role" with "Customer support lead with six years in telecoms who reduced average resolution time by 22%". The second tells a recruiter something they can check.
List roles from most recent to oldest. For each, give the job title, employer, location, and dates, then add bullets that follow one pattern: start with an action verb, say what you worked on and at what scale, and end with the result. Aim for four to six bullets on your latest role and fewer on older ones. If you cannot quote a number, describe the outcome honestly instead; never invent a figure.
Include the qualification, institution, and graduation year. Recent graduates can add relevant coursework, honours, or a final-year project. If you have worked for several years, keep this short.
Choose skills that appear in the job posting and that you could discuss in an interview. Name tools and methods specifically, for example "Microsoft Excel (pivot tables, lookups)" rather than "computer skills". Put the strongest match first.
These optional sections earn their place when they support the target role. A certification the employer asks for belongs near the top. A project is valuable for students and career changers because it shows ability without a long job history. Languages matter most for roles with international clients or multilingual teams, and it helps to state your level honestly.
The preview updates as you type, so use it as an editor, not merely a viewer. Look for a bullet that wraps onto a third line, a section that pushes a single stray line onto page two, or inconsistent date formats. Shorter, sharper bullets almost always read better than long ones.
The built-in ATS score gives you a quick readiness check while you work. Treat it as a guide: it highlights missing basics, weak structure, and thin content, but it cannot know the specific employer's software or the fit between you and the job. Once the obvious gaps close, spend your remaining effort on strengthening the substance of your bullets.
Your path through the Resume Creator
Download your resume as a PDF, then do two quick checks before you send it. First, open the file and try to select a sentence with your cursor; if the text highlights, software can read it. Second, read the whole document once on screen at full size, looking for typos and alignment problems. Save it with a plain file name such as Firstname-Lastname-Resume.pdf so a recruiter can find it later.
Where an employer asks for a different format, follow their instructions. Otherwise a PDF is the safest choice because it keeps your layout identical on every device.
The experience fields are where the tool depends most on you. A template can arrange your words beautifully, but it cannot make a vague sentence specific. Use this three-part pattern for every bullet: an action verb, the scope of the work, and the result.
The numbers above are samples. Use only figures you can defend. If you do not have exact data, describe the change in plain words, such as "replaced a paper process with a shared spreadsheet used by the whole department". Keep each bullet to one or two lines in the preview; if it wraps to a third, split it or cut it.
Imagine a candidate applying for an administrative coordinator role. Their summary might read: "Administrative coordinator with four years in healthcare offices, skilled in scheduling, records management, and vendor communication, who reduced appointment no-shows by 15%." Under their latest role they add four bullets, each opening with a different verb, each naming a task and an outcome. In the skills section they list the exact software the posting names. Finally they check the preview, fix a bullet that wraps, and see the ATS score rise as the sections fill in. That single loop of write, preview, and adjust is the whole method.
Shorten your summary, trim older roles to two bullets, and remove optional sections that do not help this application. If you still need two pages, make sure the second page holds a meaningful amount of content rather than one or two lines. Switching to a more compact template can also help.
Wait a few seconds, because the PDF is built in your browser and can take longer on a slow device. Check that your browser has not blocked the download, and make sure the page has fully loaded before you press the button. Try again after refreshing, and keep a copy of your text in case you need to re-enter it.
A low score usually means sections are empty or thin. Complete the summary, add at least three bullets to your main role, and list relevant skills. Then read the tips beneath the score and address them one at a time.
Very long unbroken text, unusual characters, or pasted formatting can change how lines wrap. Retype the affected line in plain text and check the preview again before downloading.
After downloading, open the ATS Score Checker to measure keyword match against a specific posting, and the Resume Reviewer for feedback on clarity and impact. The three tools are designed to be used in that order.
Yes. You can build and download your resume without paying or creating an account.
Yes. Your details carry over, so you can switch designs at any time while building.
Keep your details in a separate note as a backup, and download a PDF when you finish, because progress is held in your browser rather than on an account.
A one-column template without a photo or graphics is the most dependable choice for software parsing.
Ideally yes. Adjust your summary, the order of your bullets, and your skills so they reflect the keywords of each posting.
Press the Add Work Experience or Add Education button inside that section. Each press adds one more entry, with the newest at the top.
The resume is built in your browser. See the Privacy Policy for full details of what is and is not collected.
Check the PDF, run it through the ATS Score Checker, and tailor the summary and skills for each job you apply to.
