A free CV maker and resume builder that's actually free
Most "free" online resume builders only let you fill the form for free — they ask for a credit card the moment you try to download. Kodotools is different. The whole CV maker is free, with no upgrade path, no premium tier, and nothing locked behind a paywall.
No paywall
PDF download is free
Hit download, get a clean PDF. No "premium plan", no watermark on the page, no credit card screen.
No signup
No email needed
No account creation, no email, no "verify your inbox". Open the page and start typing.
Private
Your data stays local
Everything saves to your browser. Nothing is uploaded to any server. Close the tab, your CV stays on your device.
ATS-friendly
Parses cleanly
Templates use plain text, real headings, and simple layouts — readable by Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, and other ATS systems.
Live preview
See it as you type
Every change shows up instantly on the right. No "compile" step, no waiting.
Autosave
Won't lose your work
Every keystroke saves to your browser. Come back tomorrow and your draft is still there. Export to JSON to back up.

FAQ
Common questions
Is this CV maker really 100% free?
Yes. Every feature — building, editing, switching templates, downloading PDF — is free. There is no premium tier, no credit card request, no watermark on the output, and no email signup. The site is funded by ads, not by users.
Do I need to sign up or create an account?
No. There are no accounts. Your CV draft saves automatically to your own browser. To access it on another device, use the Export JSON button to save a backup file you can reload later.
Is the CV ATS-friendly?
Yes. Classic, Minimal, and Executive are single-column with real text headings and standard fonts — the shape ATS parsers like Workday, Greenhouse, and Lever expect. Modern uses a two-column layout that still parses well because the text is real text, not images.
Where is my data stored?
Only in your browser, in localStorage. Your data never leaves your device. No upload happens at any point. Clear your browser storage and the CV is gone.
Will the PDF have a watermark?
No watermark. The file is built in your browser from your preview and contains only your CV — nothing is sent to our servers.
Can I edit the CV later?
Yes. Come back to this page in the same browser and your draft is loaded. You can also export to JSON and re-import later or on another device.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes. On smaller screens, switch between Edit and Preview using the tabs at the top of the builder. PDF download works on mobile; a larger screen can be quicker for long CVs.
