Each CV template is an original CSS-based design created for this website with its own layout metadata, section order, category, ATS level, accent color and density. The layouts use plain HTML and CSS, no external images, no web fonts and no copied external design. The goal is to give you practical template choices while keeping the online CV maker lightweight and private.

How to Choose a CV Template

Choose a CV template based on the role, the amount of information you have and how the CV will be reviewed. A simple single-column template is usually best for online applications and applicant tracking systems. A professional template works well for office, business, marketing and management roles.

If you are a student or new graduate, pick Student CV or Fresh Graduate CV and give more space to education, projects and skills. If you are applying for teaching, research or academic roles, Academic CV is better because it gives research, projects and certifications a formal structure.

ATS Friendly CV Template

An ATS friendly CV keeps the structure simple: clear headings, readable text, normal section order and no confusing graphics. This does not guarantee selection, but it reduces layout issues when a company uses software to parse applications.

Use this option when applying through job portals or when the employer requests a plain professional CV. Keep job titles, dates, skills and education easy to scan. Avoid stuffing keywords; write naturally and match only the skills you truly have.

Student CV Template

A student CV template should make education, projects, internships, certifications and skills easy to find. If you do not have long work experience, focus on coursework, class projects, volunteer work, software skills, writing ability or relevant achievements.

The Student CV and Fresh Graduate CV templates are useful for internships, entry-level jobs, scholarships and early career applications. Keep the profile short and use bullet points that show what you did, what tools you used and what result you achieved.

Professional CV Template

A professional CV template should feel organized, readable and serious. Modern Professional CV, Executive CV and Job Application CV are good choices when you want a polished layout for business, office, media, technology or management roles.

The template can improve presentation, but the content still matters most. Use specific experience lines, include measurable results where possible and keep the CV easy to skim. The best CV maker workflow is to choose a clean template first, then edit the content until every section earns its space.

How to Save CV as PDF

This CV maker uses browser print instead of a heavy PDF library. After reviewing the preview, click Print / Save as PDF and choose Save as PDF from your browser print dialog. The print CSS hides the site header, footer, ads, form controls, buttons and SEO content so the printed output contains only the CV preview.

Use A4 paper settings when possible and check the browser preview before saving. Browser print engines can differ slightly, so always open the PDF afterward and confirm spacing, page breaks, contact details and section order before sending it to an employer, university or client.

Browser-Based Privacy Note

Your CV details stay in your browser. The tool does not upload your name, contact information, education, research, skills or work history to a server. It does not use an API or database, and the template preview is generated locally with JavaScript and CSS.

GA4 tracking is limited to generic actions such as template selected, preview, download and print. It does not include your CV text. This makes the tool suitable for private drafting before you save a PDF or download a local HTML copy.

Limitations and Notes

  • Browser print output can vary slightly across Chrome, Edge, Firefox and mobile browsers.
