CV Maker

Stays in your browser only — the photo is never uploaded anywhere.

Include internships, part-time jobs, and society/volunteer roles — students can list these the same way.

Copied

A photo and colour sidebar look great for direct human review, LinkedIn, or a printed copy — but multi-column layouts and photos can trip up some older ATS scanners. If you're uploading to an online application portal, the Simple template is the safer choice.

How to make a professional CV with this free CV maker

A good CV does one job: it gets you to the interview. Our free CV maker keeps that goal front and centre. You fill in your details, pick a template, and download a clean, professional CV as a PDF — no account, no watermark, and nothing you type ever leaves your browser. Here's how to get the most out of it.

Step by step

What makes a CV "ATS-friendly"?

Most large employers run CVs through applicant tracking software before a human sees them. That software reads plain text best. To stay ATS-friendly: use the Simple template for online applications, use standard section headings (Experience, Education, Skills), avoid tables and text boxes, and mirror the exact keywords from the job description where they honestly apply to you.

Frequently asked questions

Is this CV maker really free?

Yes. There's no sign-up, no paywall, and no watermark on your CV. You can build and download as many CVs as you like.

Is my data safe?

Everything runs in your browser. The details you type and any photo you upload are never sent to or stored on any server — close the tab and it's gone.

Can students use it?

Absolutely. If you don't have much work experience yet, list internships, part-time jobs, volunteering, and society or project roles the same way. Add your education, skills, and any certifications.

Which template should I pick?

If you're uploading to an online application system, use Simple. If you're emailing a CV directly to a person or handing over a printed copy, the Modern template with a photo looks sharp.

Can I edit my CV later?

The tool doesn't save your CV (for privacy), so keep the details handy or save your PDF. When you come back, re-enter your information and rebuild — it only takes a minute.
