How to build your resume
Tell your story
Add your name, contact details and achievements. Choose Start with education to put education and projects first, or try the example.
Make it yours
Choose a template and watch the pages update. Review your wording and compare relevant terms from a job description.
Download and apply
Save a PDF with selectable text or an editable Word document. Open the file and check it before applying.
Start with your words. Design comes next.
Add your details in Content. Empty sections stay out of the document, so you can start with one useful entry.
A gentle starting point
Load the synthetic designer example to see a complete resume. Undo brings your previous text back. Start with education opens a separate blank version with education and projects first.
Every page in view
See page breaks as you type. Click wording in the preview to open its section. On a phone, Preview switches between your editor and document.
One version per opportunity
Duplicate your resume before tailoring it. Each version keeps its own wording and design. Use the version menu to return to your original. Preview zoom lets you inspect small text without changing the exported file.
Add an optional photo
Open Personal details and choose Add photo. Choose a PNG, JPEG or WebP up to 10 MB and below 40 megapixels. Your photo is cropped to a circle in the header. Replace or remove it before downloading.
The photo stays in memory in this tab. It is never uploaded, saved to your account or included in a draft backup. PDF includes the photo. Word and plain text do not. Add the photo again after reopening the page.
Write the details that help someone hire you
Keep your target role specific. Add a reliable contact method, then describe relevant work with one achievement per line.
In each section, use the add button to include another role, qualification or project. Rename a section heading or use the arrow buttons to change reading order. Removing an entry, section or version is reversible with Undo.
Choose a readable resume template
Browse 31 templates in Design. Choose a simple column, a supporting sidebar, paired columns or section-label rows. The gallery shows each layout before you apply it. Use the Modern collection filter for softer colours and more expressive designs.
| Control in Design | What changes |
|---|---|
| Modern collection | 15 designs with soft headers, rounded labels, monograms and asymmetric columns. Forma and Muse keep one column. Atelier puts your projects first. |
| One column | Studio, Classic, Editorial and Compact keep a simple reading sequence. |
| Rows and timelines | Executive and Scholar put section labels beside the content. Ledger uses a date rail. Linework uses shaded section rows. |
| Sidebars | Axis and Beacon have left sidebars. Atlas and Metro have right sidebars. Beacon uses a dark rail; Metro has a shaded rail and full-width header. |
| Two columns | Horizon uses a wider main column. Column and Split use balanced columns. Portfolio puts projects in the main column and supporting experience alongside. |
| Document colour | 16 palettes for names, headings and panels. Modern designs use a matching pale tint. Dark headers and rails use light text. Choose a colour in Design to update the preview. |
| Typeface | 12 typefaces, grouped into sans serif and serif styles. PDF embeds your chosen font. Word requests it and may substitute if it is not installed. |
| Paper | A4 or US Letter. Page breaks update for the chosen dimensions. |
| Text size / Spacing | 10 to 12 point body text, with comfortable or compact leading. Shorten less relevant text before making it smaller. |
In a multi-column template, each section has a Column menu. Choose Automatic, Main column or Supporting column. Reordering changes the order within that column. Skills appear in the supporting column.
Choose a one-column template for the simplest parsing order. Multiple columns can be harder for some application systems to read.
Review the writing without guessing a score
Review flags missing contact details, incomplete email addresses, reversed year-only dates and long or vague bullets. Select a suggestion to open the relevant section.
Paste a job description to see common terms beside your resume. Add exact phrases in Terms to check, separated by commas. The comparison checks wording, not qualifications or meaning. It does not predict an employer’s ranking or insert claims for you.
Readable text shows your content in section order. A multi-column PDF may be read differently by different applications. Read every name, date and claim aloud before sending it.
Choose the file your employer asks for
Download PDF keeps the paginated preview’s layout. For an editable copy, open Keep an editable copy in Review and choose Word.
| Download | Use it for |
|---|---|
| A fixed layout with selectable text and linked email or website details. No branding is added to the page. | |
| Word (.docx) | A simple one-column document for editing in Word or Google Docs. Wording and bullet structure are preserved. It does not reproduce the selected PDF template. |
| Plain text | Application forms that ask you to paste your resume or a quick reading-order check. |
| Draft backup (.json) | All your versions and design settings. Paste the backup into Restore backup on another browser. It contains personal information. |

Saving and practical limits
Signed-out drafts stay in this browser. Signed-in text and settings save automatically to your private account. Keep a backup before clearing browser storage or moving between accounts.
You can keep up to 20 versions, with 20 sections and 40 entries per section. Drafts are capped at 900 KB and PDF layout at 40 pages. These are safety limits, not recommended resume lengths.
Character coverage varies by typeface. Noto Sans and Noto Serif cover Latin, Greek and Cyrillic text. Unsupported characters disable PDF download and show a warning. Word and plain text preserve your wording. Photos stay in memory in this tab and are included in PDF only. Reopening the page clears the photo. Existing-resume imports, right-to-left layouts and AI writing are not included.
A readable resume is not a hiring guarantee. Follow the employer’s format instructions and check the fields after uploading. For the reasoning and worked examples, read how to write an ATS-friendly resume.
Frequently asked questions
Is this resume builder completely free?
Yes. All 31 templates and PDF, Word and plain-text downloads are free. There is no watermark, payment screen or required account at download. You can edit and download again.
Can I build a resume without signing up?
Yes. You can write, preview and download while signed out. Your draft saves in this browser. Download a backup if you need to move it or protect it from browser storage being cleared.
Are these ATS-friendly resume templates?
Choose a one-column template when straightforward text extraction matters. Sidebar and two-column layouts are also available, with selectable text. Multiple columns can complicate reading order in some systems. Your contact details sit in the document body. No template can guarantee correct parsing by every applicant tracking system or a job interview. Follow the employer’s file instructions and check any fields filled from your upload.
Can I use this as a CV maker?
Yes. Add sections for projects, certifications, volunteering, languages or other information. Reorder sections and use multiple pages when relevant. This builder does not provide academic citation formatting or right-to-left layout.
What should I put on a resume with no experience?
Choose the Start with education option. Start with education and projects that show the skills the role needs. Add volunteering, part-time work or coursework where relevant. Describe what you actually did. You do not need to invent a job title or a numerical result.
Where is my resume saved?
Signed out, resume text and design settings save locally in this browser. Signed in, they save automatically to your private floi account. The save indicator tells you whether a cloud write is pending or confirmed. Job-description text stays in this tab. PDF and Word files are generated in your browser and are not sent to your account.
Will the Word file match the PDF exactly?
Word uses a simple one-column layout with your wording, headings and editable bullet lists. It does not reproduce the selected PDF template. Word and Google Docs may use different fonts and page breaks. Download PDF to keep the layout shown in the preview.
