Build a professional, ATS-friendly resume in minutes
A great resume has to do two jobs: get past the applicant tracking system (ATS) that scans it, and impress the human who reads it next. This free resume builder is designed for both — a clean, single-column layout with standard headings and real, selectable text that software can parse, presented in a sharp, professional design.
Fill in your details, watch the live preview update as you type, and download a polished PDF — no account, no watermark, and nothing ever leaves your browser.
What you can add
- Contact details and links (LinkedIn, portfolio, GitHub)
- A professional summary (optionally generated for you with AI)
- Work experience with achievement bullet points
- Education, skills, and optional projects
- Letter or A4 paper size
Why ATS-friendly matters
Many companies use software to screen resumes before a person ever sees them. Resumes saved as an image, built with complex multi-column tables, or stuffed into text boxes often get parsed incorrectly — and a misread resume gets filtered out. This tool produces a true text-based PDF in a layout ATS tools handle well, so your experience is read the way you wrote it.
Tips for a stronger resume
- Lead each experience bullet with a strong verb and a result (“Increased signups 32%…”).
- Mirror keywords from the job description in your skills and summary.
- Keep it to one or two pages and put the most relevant experience first.
- Save and send as PDF unless the job posting asks for a Word file.

Frequently asked questions
Is this resume builder free?
Yes — completely free with no account, no sign-up, and no watermark on your resume. We keep it free with unobtrusive ads.
Is the resume ATS-friendly?
Yes. It uses a clean single-column layout with standard section headings and real, selectable text (not an image), which is what applicant tracking systems can read reliably.
Do you store my resume or personal details?
No. Your resume is built entirely in your browser and the PDF is generated on your device. Nothing you type is uploaded to or stored on our servers.
Should I put a photo on my resume?
For most US, UK, Canadian and Australian applications, no — a photo can cause ATS issues and is not expected. This builder is designed photo-free by default to maximise compatibility.
Can I download my resume as a PDF?
Yes. You get a clean, multi-page PDF with selectable text that prints sharply and parses well in recruiter software.
Can AI help write my resume?
Optionally. You can generate a professional summary from your details with one click. The AI is optional — the builder works fully without it, and your data still never leaves your browser except for the short summary request.
