How to build your resume with this tool
- Add your contact details. Use a professional email address, a phone number with your country code and, if you have one, a LinkedIn profile URL.
- Write a short summary. Two to four lines: who you are professionally, your strongest skills and the kind of role you want.
- List your experience. Add each job with its dates. Put one achievement per line in the description box; each line becomes a bullet point.
- Add education, skills and languages. Use the Add buttons for as many entries as you need, and Remove to delete one.
- Download your PDF. Click Download Resume PDF and choose Save as PDF in the print window. The layout is set to A4 with clean margins.
Why this resume format works with applicant tracking systems
Most medium and large employers use an applicant tracking system (ATS) to store and search applications. These systems read text best when a resume uses a single column, standard section headings such as Experience and Education, and plain bullet points. That is exactly the structure this builder produces. It avoids tables, text boxes, icons and images, which some systems cannot read reliably.
Write bullet points that prove results
Start each bullet with an action verb and, wherever you honestly can, add a number. Compare these two lines:
| Weak | Strong |
|---|---|
| Responsible for customer emails | Answered 60+ customer emails a day and cut average response time from 24 to 6 hours |
| Helped with social media | Planned and published 3 posts a week, growing Instagram followers by 40% in six months |
| Worked on reports | Built a weekly Excel sales report used by 4 regional managers |

Your privacy
Your resume is built in your own browser tab and is not sent to our servers. Only when you click an AI button (summary improvement or skill suggestions) is the relevant text sent over an encrypted connection to our AI service (Cloudflare Workers AI) to create the suggestion; it is not stored or logged by us, as described in our Privacy Policy.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Resume Builder really free?
Yes. There is no account, no watermark and no paid download.
How long should my resume be?
One page is usually enough for students and early-career candidates. Two pages are normal for experienced professionals. Cut anything that does not support the job you are applying for.
Should I add a photo?
In the US, UK, Canada and Australia, photos are generally left off to reduce bias. In parts of Europe, the Middle East and Asia they are more common. Follow the norm in the country where you are applying.
Can I save my resume and edit it later?
Your data is not stored, so download your PDF before closing the page. Keep a copy of your text in a document if you plan to update it later.
