This generator builds a complete resume from simple line-based input ("key: value", the same convention the ZUGFeRD invoice generator uses) - as a PDF ready to send AND as a Word file (.docx) to keep editing. Each line sets one field: name, job title, email, phone, location, profile paragraph and skills are one-off fields; "Experience:" and "Education:" are REPEATABLE lines - one entry per line in the format "Title | Company/Institution | Period | Task1; Task2". That lets you add as many entries as you like without a complicated form full of dozens of individual fields.

The template is deliberately MARKET-AWARE, not just cosmetically different: the German template optionally shows a photo and a date of birth - still a common convention in Germany. The US and UK templates deliberately OMIT both: in the US and UK, a photo or birth date on a resume/CV is considered unusual to counterproductive, because employers avoid them out of anti-discrimination caution. On top of that, the US/UK template is deliberately built "ATS-friendly": plain, clearly structured text with no tables or graphics that could confuse an Applicant Tracking System when it parses the document automatically. A Japanese Rirekisho template is deliberately NOT part of this first version.

Everything runs entirely locally in the browser (pure JavaScript via pdf-lib, no server, no account) - your resume with your name, career history and optional photo never leaves your device. The result is a ZIP containing both files (PDF + .docx), so you can send it right away OR keep editing it in Word/LibreOffice.

In 3 steps

  1. Choose a template (Germany with photo, or US/UK ATS-friendly without photo) and enter your data - one field per line.
  2. Tap Generate - the PDF and Word file are built locally in the browser.
  3. Download the ZIP with both files (PDF to send, .docx to keep editing).

Limitations: Builds a PDF AND a Word document (.docx) from line-based input, in three template variants (Germany with optional photo/date of birth; US/UK ATS-friendly with no photo/date of birth). The photo is embedded ONLY into the PDF, not into the .docx (which stays plain text there) - a deliberate simplification of this first version. Standard Helvetica font (Latin/WinAnsi); characters outside Latin-1 are replaced. This tool produces a template following common convention - it is not legal advice or career advice and gives no guarantee that any specific employer or Applicant Tracking System will read the file exactly as intended.

FAQ

Is my resume uploaded?

No. The PDF and Word file are built entirely locally in the browser (pure JavaScript, no server); your details and your photo never leave your device.

Why does the US/UK template have no photo or date of birth?

In the US and UK this is considered unusual to counterproductive - employers avoid both out of anti-discrimination caution. The German template shows both optionally, since that remains common convention there.

What does "ATS-friendly" mean?

ATS stands for Applicant Tracking System. The US/UK template uses plain, clearly structured text with no tables or graphics, so such a system can reliably parse the details automatically.

How do I enter several experience/education entries?

Each entry is its own line "Experience: Title | Company | Period | Task1; Task2" or "Education: Degree | Institution | Period". Any number of lines is fine.

Is the photo also in the Word file?

No, the photo is embedded only into the PDF; the .docx contains plain text only in this version. This is a deliberate simplification - a future version can add it.

Is this legal or career advice?

No. It is a template following common convention, not legal advice or career advice. Review the content yourself and adapt it to your situation.
