Is this CV maker really free?

Yes. All 15 CV templates, live A4 preview, PDF export and JSON backup are free forever. No account, no watermark, no premium tier.

Do I need to sign up to build my CV?

No. There are no accounts. Your CV draft autosaves to your browser's localStorage and never leaves your device.

Will recruiters' software (ATS) parse my CV?

Yes. Templates like Stockholm, Ledger, Onyx and Atlas use a single-column layout, real selectable text, standard headings and dates, so applicant tracking systems parse them cleanly.

How do I make a CV online in 5 minutes?

Choose a template, start from sample content or blank, fill in your roles, education and skills with the live A4 preview, then export a print-perfect PDF in one click.

Can I add my photo to my CV?

Yes. Upload a photo in the photo step. You can show it in colour or black & white, switch between square and round shapes, or hide it entirely for US-style resumes.

Where is my CV data stored?

Only in your browser's localStorage. Nothing is uploaded to a server. Keep a JSON backup or export the PDF when you finish.

What is the difference between a CV and a resume?

In the UK and Europe, a CV covers your full career history (usually 1-2 pages). In the US, a resume is a concise one-page summary. This builder exports a one-to-two page A4 PDF that works for both.

Can I switch CV templates without retyping?

Yes. Your content is stored separately from the design, so you can swap between all 15 templates in one click and your text carries over untouched.
