CV Builder
Build a one column CV with real PDF text and a parser check.
Loading tool…
CV Builder writes a one column resume with real selectable text, so an applicant tracking system can read the file instead of seeing one flat image. Every export is read back and checked page by page.
How to use
- Fill in the contact block, then add or reorder sections.
- Optionally add a photo, which sits above the name so the text column stays linear.
- Download the PDF and read the parser check; every line should pass before you apply.
Features and limitations
- Writes real selectable PDF text instead of one flat image.
- Keeps one linear column, with the optional photo above the name.
- Runs a parser check on every export, across all pages.
- Keeps the draft in this browser with no upload.
Limitation: Exports PDF only, uses one plain column with no graphic template, and the parser check confirms the text can be read back rather than predicting how a specific employer system scores it.
Frequently asked questions
Usage, result, and limitation information for this tool.
- Is the PDF text or an image?
- Real text. Each line is drawn as selectable text, so an applicant tracking system can read the name, contact details, dates, and bullet points.
- What does the parser check verify?
- It reads the exported PDF back, then confirms the name, email, phone, links, organisation names, bullet points, and skill items are still present on the page.
- Is a photo safe for ATS screening?
- A photo is optional here and sits above the name in a single column. Some employers exclude photo use, so check the job posting before adding one.
- Where is my draft stored?
- In this browser only, through local storage. Nothing is uploaded, and clearing the draft removes it.
