Make.CV

Make.CV is a free online CV maker and resume builder designed to help job seekers create a clean, professional CV in the browser. You don’t start from a blank page—the first screen is already editable, so you can replace the sample content with your own details right away.

The editor includes ATS-friendly professional templates (classic, modern, creative, minimalist, and named styles like Classic Professional, Modern Blue, Creative Orange, Minimalist Black, and Executive Green). As you fill in personal information, work experience, education, and skills, the resume formatting is applied automatically to keep your CV looking polished. You also get a live preview so you can see your updates as you type.

For speed, Make.CV keeps the workflow focused: templates, sections, and PDF export are all handled in one place. On desktop, the PDF preview stays next to the editor; on mobile, the preview follows the form.

You can build right away without an account. Create a free account only when you’re ready to save progress or download from more than one device. CVs are downloadable as professional PDF files with no hidden paywalls, hidden fees, or premium subscriptions.
