Why Simple CV
Built differently
Every other free CV builder has a catch. We don't.
Private by design
Your CV never leaves your browser. We use local storage, so we literally cannot see your data, sell it, or lose it in a breach.
Live preview
Watch your document update with every keystroke. What you see is exactly what downloads, no surprises.
ATS-friendly
Clean, semantic structure that applicant tracking systems parse correctly and recruiters enjoy reading.
Unlimited CVs
Tailor one CV per role: a startup version, a corporate version, all kept side by side and free to download.
Ready in minutes
No account, no email to verify, no onboarding wizard. Click once and you are already in the editor.
Your CV, live as you type
Every field updates your document in real time. What you see is what you download.

Why free?
We think CV builders
should just be free.
Not "free with a paywall at 2am when you're applying for the job you actually want."
Not "free then $12 a month when you come back six months later."
Not "free but we sell your data to recruiters."
Free. Done. No asterisk. We make money from unobtrusive ads, not from you.

Questions
Is this really free?
Yes. 100%. No trial period, no hidden costs. Download unlimited CVs without ever seeing a price tag.
How do you make money?
Non-intrusive ads. That's it. We show ads and that keeps the lights on. Your CV content is never used for advertising or shared with anyone.
Where is my data stored?
On your device only. We use your browser's localStorage; we literally cannot access your CV data. It never touches our servers.
What if I clear my browser data?
You can back up your CV anytime and restore it later. Your data is always in your control.
Are the templates ATS-friendly?
Yes. Our templates use clean, semantic structure that ATS can parse correctly. No fancy graphics that confuse robots, just professional formatting that works.
Why should I trust you?
The download button is visible from the start. Test it with a blank CV if you're skeptical. No paywall will appear. Ever.
