Free Online Resume Builder

resumecraft stands out with its combination of modern AI technology, ATS optimization, and beautiful design. Unlike other platforms, we focus on both aesthetics and functionality, ensuring your resume not only looks great but also performs well with applicant tracking systems. Our templates are designed by career experts and HR professionals who understand what hiring managers are looking for in 2025.

ATS (Applicant Tracking System) is software used by over 90% of employers to scan, sort, and rank job applications. When you submit your resume, it often goes through this system before a human sees it. If your resume isn't formatted correctly or lacks the right keywords, it may be automatically rejected. All resumecraft templates are specially designed to be ATS-compatible, using proper formatting, headings, and layouts that these systems can easily read and parse.

With resumecraft, you can create a professional-looking resume in as little as 15 minutes. Our intuitive interface guides you through entering your personal information and professional experience, while our AI-powered tools help optimize your content. Simply choose one of our diverse templates, fill in your details, and your resume will be ready to download and share immediately. For even faster results, you can import your LinkedIn profile or upload an existing resume to start with.

Different industries have different expectations for resume style. Here's a quick guide:

• Finance/Banking/Accounting: Try our Classic, Professional, or Corporate templates for a traditional look.
• Technology/IT/Engineering: Our Prestige Tech or Modern templates work well for technical roles.
• Creative fields (Design/Marketing/Media): Consider our Creative template to showcase your personality while remaining professional.
• Executive/Management: Our Executive or Executive Pro templates emphasize leadership and results.
• Consulting/Advisory: The Strategy Consultant template highlights project-based work effectively.
• Entry-level/Recent Graduates: Minimal or Modern templates work well to showcase skills despite limited experience.

Remember, all our templates are ATS-friendly regardless of design style.

Keyword optimization is crucial for passing ATS scans. resumecraft offers built-in keyword suggestions based on your target job or industry. Our AI analyzes thousands of job descriptions to recommend relevant skills and terms to include. For best results, carefully read the job description you're applying to and incorporate relevant terms in your experience and skills sections. Focus on hard skills, technical abilities, certifications, and industry-specific terminology. Our premium templates include a keyword optimization score that shows how well your resume matches the job description.

resumecraft allows you to download your completed resume in multiple formats. PDF is the most commonly used format for job applications as it preserves your formatting exactly as designed. plain text format for copy-pasting into online applications, and even a special ATS-optimized version that maximizes compatibility with applicant tracking systems. Premium users can access additional formats including HTML for online portfolios and InDesign files for advanced customization.

• Free tier: Create and download professional resumes in PDF format with access to several ATS-friendly templates.

Our free tier has no hidden limitations - you can create a complete, professional resume without paying anything. Premium features are designed for job seekers who want additional options and advanced tools.

In most cases, we don't recommend including a photo on your resume, especially in the US, UK, and Canada, where it could potentially lead to unconscious bias in the hiring process. Some employers might even automatically reject resumes with photos to avoid discrimination concerns. However, in certain countries and industries (particularly in Europe, Asia, and the Middle East), photos may be expected. resumecraft gives you the option to add or remove a photo for any template, so you can adapt to specific job requirements or regional customs.

The ideal resume length depends on your experience level. For most professionals with under 10 years of experience, a one-page resume is recommended. This forces you to include only the most relevant information and makes it easier for hiring managers to quickly assess your qualifications. For senior professionals, executives, or those in academia, a two-page resume may be appropriate to showcase extensive experience and accomplishments. resumecraft templates support both one and two-page layouts, with smart pagination that ensures proper formatting regardless of length.

Yes! We highly recommend tailoring your resume for different job applications. With resumecraft, you can create and save multiple versions of your resume to target specific positions or industries. Our platform makes it easy to duplicate an existing resume and modify key sections like your summary, skills, and experience descriptions to highlight the most relevant qualifications for each job. Premium users get unlimited resume versions with the ability to organize them by job type, company, or industry, making your job search more efficient and effective.
