Why this CV builder is different

Most free CV makers trap you: you do all the work, then hit a paywall or an email wall right when you try to download. This one doesn't. There's no sign-up, no payment, and nothing is saved or sent - everything you type stays in your browser and disappears when you refresh. You build the CV, you press print, you save it as a PDF. That's it.

How to save it as a PDF

Press Print / Save as PDF. In the print dialog that opens, change the "Destination" or "Printer" to "Save as PDF", then save. Only the CV prints - the rest of the page is hidden automatically. On a phone, choose "Save as PDF" from the share or print menu.

A few tips for a CV that gets read

  • Keep it to one or two pages - recruiters skim.
  • In your experience, write what you achieved, not just your duties.
  • Use a professional email address (your name, not a nickname).
  • You don't need a photo or your full ID number - leave them off for privacy.
  • Tailor it to each job by matching the words in the advert.
