Frequently asked questions
Is this resume builder really free?
Yes — completely. No account, no watermark, no “premium template” upsell at the last step. The PDF you preview is exactly the PDF you download. The site is funded by optional ads, never by holding your CV hostage.
Will my resume pass ATS (applicant tracking systems)?
The generated PDF contains real, selectable text in a clean single-column layout with standard fonts — exactly what ATS parsers read best. No text-in-images, no tables, no columns that scramble the reading order.
Where is my CV data stored?
Only in your own browser (localStorage on your device), so your draft is waiting for you when you come back. It is never uploaded — we couldn’t read your employment history if we wanted to. Clearing your browser data deletes the draft.
Should I include a photo?
Depends on the country. In Spain, Germany and much of the EU a photo is common; in the US, UK, Canada and Ireland it is actively discouraged. The photo is optional — the templates look clean either way.
Is it safe to use this tool with confidential documents?
Yes — and verifiably so. PDFAgent has no upload step: your file is processed by JavaScript running in your own browser and never leaves your device. You can open your browser’s network panel (or even go offline after loading the page) and confirm that no document data is transmitted.
