How to use
- Fill in your details; add, remove and reorder entries and sections (or import a JSON Resume file).
- Pick one of four layouts, an accent colour and A4 or Letter; the preview shows the real PDF.
- Download PDF or DOCX. Export JSON to continue elsewhere.
Worked example
Two jobs, one degree and twelve skills fit on one A4 or Letter page in the Compact layout.
Supported formats and limits
| Input | Your details, JSON Resume file |
|---|---|
| Output | PDF, DOCX, JSON Resume |

| Engine | pdf-lib with embedded IBM Plex Sans (selectable text, link annotations); DOCX written in the browser; JSON Resume import and export |
Limitations
- Photos are not supported because many applicant tracking systems ignore or mis-handle them.
- All layouts are single column; custom sections are kept in the JSON under meta.toolsdocks, which other JSON Resume tools ignore.
Questions
Where is my resume saved?
Only in this browser's local storage, so it is there when you come back on the same device. Nothing is sent to a server. Clear the draft on a shared computer, and export JSON Resume to keep a copy.
Can applicant tracking systems read the PDF?
The PDF contains real, selectable text rather than an image of the page, so its text can be copied and parsed. How a particular system scores a resume is outside what this tool can check.
