Real Text PDF
Exports a true text-based PDF — fully selectable, copy-pasteable, and readable by ATS recruitment systems.

Group skills under bold labels — Backend: Node.js, TypeScript. Technical Skills, Soft Skills, and a general Skills section all supported.
Auto Save
Your progress is saved automatically. Close the tab and come back later — your CV is still there.
ATS Optimizer
Built-in prompt generator that pre-fills your CV data. Paste into any AI and get a keyword analysis, ATS score, and optimized content.
Import JSON
Got optimized content back from the AI? Paste the JSON and your CV is instantly updated — name, photo and contacts stay unchanged.
Export JSON
Save your CV as JSON and reload it anytime. Paste the JSON to update your CV instantly — name, photo, and contacts stay the same.
No catch. No paywall. Just your CV.
No account to create, no subscription to start, no watermark on your PDF. Fill in your details, pick a template, export. That's it.
Privacy
Your data never leaves your device.
Here's exactly why.
FreeCV runs entirely in your browser. When you type your name, upload a photo, or fill in your experience — none of it is sent to any server. We don't have a database. We don't have user accounts. There's nothing to hack, leak, or sell.
→ Technical detail — how this works
Everything you enter is stored in your browser's
localStorage — the same technology your browser uses
to remember shopping carts and preferences. Your CV data never
touches a network request. You can verify this yourself: open
DevTools → Network tab while building your CV. You'll see zero
data being sent.
ATS Optimizer
Most CVs never reach
a human recruiter.
Before your CV lands on a recruiter's desk, it passes through an ATS — Applicant Tracking System. These automated systems scan, score, and filter CVs based on keyword matching. A beautifully designed CV with the wrong keywords gets rejected instantly. We built a free ATS optimizer prompt to help you beat the bots.
