About Resume Builder

Build a resume in the browser where the preview you edit is the PDF you download, page for page. The document is laid out by a PDF engine rather than by HTML, so the page breaks, fonts and spacing you approve on screen are the ones in the file, and every word stays real selectable text rather than an image of text.

Frequently asked questions

Will an applicant tracking system be able to read this PDF?
Yes, because the text is real. Many builders export by screenshotting the page to a canvas, which produces a picture of a resume: a parser extracts nothing and your application arrives empty. This tool embeds subset fonts and writes actual text runs, and an automated test renders every template and extracts the text back to confirm the name, section titles and bullets survive. What no tool can promise is how a specific vendor's parser behaves, so the plain-text view shows you exactly what is extractable before you send it.
One page or two?
Under roughly ten years of experience, one page is the safer default, and recruiters spend well under a minute on a first pass. Beyond that, two pages are normal and cramming into one costs you readability. What actually hurts is a second page holding three lines: the fill meter under the preview shows how much of the last page is used, so you can see whether you are close enough to tighten density and pull it back to one.
Should I include a photo?
It depends entirely on where you are applying. In the United States, United Kingdom, Canada and Australia, a photo is conventionally omitted, and some applicant tracking systems discard the image or mis-parse the block around it. In much of continental Europe, and commonly in India and parts of Asia, a photo is expected. The templates that place a photo say so; the single-column ones do not use one at all.
Is PDF or DOCX the safer file to send?
Send PDF unless the posting explicitly asks for Word. PDF is the only format that renders identically everywhere, and modern parsers handle text-based PDFs well. DOCX is worth keeping when a recruiter or agency needs to edit your resume before passing it on, which is common with staffing firms. The DOCX export here is content-faithful rather than pixel-identical: the same sections, order and wording, laid out with Word's own styling rather than a copy of the PDF geometry.
Where does my data go?
Editing, rendering and exporting happen entirely in your browser, and the resume autosaves to this browser's own storage so a reload does not lose your work. Nothing reaches a server unless you sign in and save a copy to your account, or publish a resume to a shareable link. Imported files are read locally too. Published pages carry a noindex directive so search engines do not list your personal details.
