CV Maker FAQ

Is the CV maker free?

Yes. Create, edit and download as many CVs as you like, as PDF or Word, with no account and no watermark.

What is the difference between a CV and a resume?

In the UK, Europe and much of the world a CV is what Americans call a resume. An academic CV is longer and lists publications, teaching and grants: use the Academic CV template for it.

Can I write my CV in my language?

Yes. Headings, dates and “Present” can be printed in 16 languages, and you can rename any heading.

Is my CV uploaded?

No. It is made and saved in your browser. Download a JSON copy to back it up or move it to another device.

Can I add a photo?

Yes, optionally, cropped as a circle or a square. The checklist reminds you where photos are usually left out.
