    Your resume is created and saved in your browser. CVCraftHub does not upload your resume information to our servers.

  • Built for your country

    Choose a target country to get the right paper size, date format, photo guidance and address style.

  • Honest guidance

    Tools that help you write clearly and completely, without fake scores or promises about getting hired.

Applicant tracking systems

Four templates labeled ATS Friendly

ATS Classic, ATS Modern, ATS Compact and Minimal keep a single column, standard headings and real text, so an applicant tracking system can read them in order. No tool can guarantee how a particular employer’s system ranks applications.

Use the ATS Resume Builder

ATS-friendly templates prioritize simple structure and machine-readable text.

Plain text an ATS can read

The builder’s ATS Text Preview shows the reading order of your resume as plain text, so you can check that nothing is lost.

ATS Resume Checker

Check your resume before you apply

The free ATS Resume Checker reviews your resume for completeness: contact details, a summary, measurable results, bullet length and skills. It shows the plain text an applicant tracking system reads, with practical suggestions.

It never predicts your chances of being hired, because no tool can.

Check My Resume

Suggestions you can act on

  • Add a professional summary.
  • Add measurable results where truthful.
  • Break long paragraphs into bullet points.
  • Add relevant skills.
Job Description Matcher

Compare your resume with a job description

Paste a job posting to see which of its skills and keywords already appear in your resume, and which do not. When a missing skill genuinely reflects your experience, add it in your own words.

Then duplicate your resume for that job, so your original stays untouched.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is CVCraftHub really free?

Yes. You can create resumes and cover letters and download them as PDF, Word (DOCX) or plain text without paying and without a watermark. The site is supported by advertising on articles and guides, never inside the builder.

Do I need to create an account?

No. There is no signup. Your resumes are saved in your browser on this device, so you can close the page and continue later on the same browser.

Where is my resume stored?

Your resume is created and saved in your browser. CVCraftHub does not upload your resume information to our servers. Clearing your browser data removes it, so use Export Backup to keep a copy or move it to another device.

Are the templates ATS-friendly?

Templates labeled ATS Friendly use a simple single-column structure and real text. No resume or tool can guarantee how an individual employer’s system will rank it.

Should I put a photo on my resume?

It depends on the country. Photos are uncommon in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom, and more common in parts of Europe and Asia. The builder explains the norm for your target country and lets you decide. See the resume photo guide.

Can I edit a resume I already have?

Yes. Import a PDF or Word resume and review the extracted details before they are added. Complex layouts may not import perfectly, so check each section.
