# GetYourCV

> A free CV maker and resume builder you use online. Pick a professional template, fill in your details with AI help, and download your CV as a PDF — free, with no watermark and no payment at the download step. Works in 20 languages, including Arabic right-to-left.

## What GetYourCV is

GetYourCV is a free CV maker — also called a resume builder or CV creator — for making a professional CV online without paying for it.

You pick a template, type in your details, and download your finished CV as a PDF. The preview updates as you type, so what you see is exactly what the employer receives. Most people finish their first CV in under 15 minutes.

It works online on a phone, tablet or computer. There is nothing to download or install, and no software to buy.

The CV you download carries no GetYourCV logo, branding or watermark of any kind.

## Key facts

- **Free**: Making, editing and downloading your CV as a PDF costs nothing. No watermark, no locked PDF, no payment at the download step, no credit card.
- **Download format**: PDF, print-ready, identical to what you see on screen. PDF is the format most employers and job application systems expect.
- **ATS-friendly**: Clean structure, standard section headings and real selectable text — not images or nested tables that applicant tracking systems fail to read.
- **20 languages**: Including Arabic, with proper right-to-left layout.
- **Works on your phone**: You can make a CV on a phone or tablet in the mobile browser — there is no app to install.
- **Fully editable**: Template, colours, fonts, section names, section order and layout can all be changed at any time without losing what you have written.
- **Private**: Your CV data is encrypted in transit, never sold, private by default, and you can delete it at any time.

## What the AI does

The AI assists rather than writes the CV for you — it suggests, you decide what to keep. It can:

- Rewrite rough notes into polished, impactful bullet points
- Suggest bullet points and skills based on your job title
- Review a finished CV and point out weaknesses
- Tailor a CV to a specific job description, matching relevant keywords

Fully AI-written CVs read as generic to both recruiters and ATS filters, which is why the tools are built around editing your own material.

## Common questions

**Is GetYourCV really free?**
Yes. You can build, edit and download your CV as a PDF for free — no hidden charges, no watermark, and no surprise paywall at the download step.

**How do I make a CV online?**
Three steps: pick a template, fill in your personal details, work experience, education and skills, then download the PDF. You see a live preview as you type, so what you see is exactly what an employer receives.

**Can I make a CV on my phone?**
Yes. It works in the phone browser — make, edit and download your CV from a phone or tablet with no app to install.

**Is it ATS-friendly? Will my CV pass the applicant tracking system?**
The templates are built for it: clean structure, standard headings, selectable text. Passing also depends on your content matching keywords from the job advert, which the AI job-tailoring tool helps with.

**Can I download my CV in Word format?**
The online maker gives you a PDF. If you specifically need an editable Word file (.docx), use the Word template downloads below instead.

**Is there a catch — will it ask for payment at the end?**
No. There is no locked PDF, no watermark to pay to remove, and no free trial that turns into a subscription.

**What should a CV include?**
Contact details (full name, phone, email), a short professional summary, work experience with the most recent first, education, and relevant skills. Add languages, certifications, projects or volunteer work where relevant. Keep it to one or two pages and write each section around achievements rather than a list of duties.

**Can I create more than one CV?**
Yes — separate CVs for different roles or industries, managed from one account. Tailoring a CV per job measurably improves interview chances.
