Is the AI resume builder free?

Yes. Sign up free and you get 1,000 credits to create and edit your resume, and every PDF download is free. No credit card required.

Will the resume get past applicant tracking systems (ATS)?

The AI produces clean, standard layouts with clear section headings and readable text, which parse well in most applicant tracking systems. You can keep the design simple for maximum compatibility.

Can I tailor my resume to a specific job?

Yes. Paste in the job description and ask the AI to tailor your summary and bullet points to match — it emphasizes the most relevant experience and keywords.

Do I need to write my own bullet points?

No. Describe what you did and the AI drafts strong, results-focused bullet points for you. You can refine any of them just by asking.

What format is the resume exported in?

Your resume downloads as a clean, print-ready PDF — the format employers and job boards expect.

Can I make more than one version?

Yes. Save your resume and duplicate it to create tailored versions for different roles, each with consistent formatting.
