Create my free CV

No sign-up. No card. No watermark.

  1. Step 1 of 3

    Start with what you know.

    Upload a PDF or Word CV, bring in your LinkedIn profile, or choose Start from scratch. An import gives you a head start; review the details before making them your own. You can edit everything in the Builder.

  2. Step 2 of 3

    See it come together.

    Add your details, experience, education and skills one section at a time. The live preview shows your CV taking shape. Try Classic, Modern, Compact or Signature: all four templates are free, and switching keeps everything you’ve written.

  3. Step 3 of 3

    Make your next move.

    Check your CV, then continue to Download. Choose “No thanks, download my CV” to get a PDF ready to send or a Word file you can edit. Both are free, with no watermark. Your PDF keeps the same lines and pages you see in the preview.

A little guidance before you start.

You don’t need to have every word ready. Start with the details you have and come back to the rest.

What if this is my first CV?
Start with your study, projects, volunteering and community involvement. These can show what you bring, even without a work history. Mark Experience as not applicable and build from what you have.
Do I need to create an account?
No. Building and downloading are free without signing up or adding a card. The email address you put on your CV is for employers to contact you; it is not an account sign-up.
Can I finish my CV later?
Yes. Your CV saves in this browser as you go. Return on the same device and browser to continue editing or download again. Keep a downloaded copy before clearing browser data or changing devices. Pro adds saving to your account.
What should I check before downloading?
Read through your contact details, dates and wording. If you imported a CV, compare every section with your original because imports can miss or misread details. The Builder checks for your name, email and a role, or Experience marked not applicable, before you continue.
