Help & tips

Open the builder. Import your current resume (PDF, Word or LaTeX) or fill in the form; the preview on the right updates as you type. When it looks right, press Download free PDF. That's it: no signup needed.

Yes. Upload your current resume as a PDF, Word file or LaTeX file (or paste the text) and fastcv fills in the form for you, copying your wording exactly. It's free, and we don't keep the file. Then check it, download it in the new layout, or tailor it to a job.

Yes. At the bottom of the form, under Arrange sections, press “+ Add section” and pick Achievements, Certifications, Positions of Responsibility, Publications, Languages and more, or make your own. There you can also move sections up or down (for example Education first if you're a student) and hide one without deleting it. Imported resumes keep their extra sections.

No. You can build and download up to two CVs without one; they're saved in your browser. If you want more, or want your CVs on your phone and laptop, sign in with your email. It's free and there's no password.

Yes. No watermark, no signup, no limit on downloads. We typeset your resume with LaTeX on our server and send the PDF straight back; typesetting costs us very little, so we don't charge for it.

Quick is an instant look-alike of your resume that updates as you type. Exact PDF shows the real LaTeX output, about a second behind. They match closely; use Exact PDF to check exactly where a page breaks before you send it.

Watch the note above the preview: it says whether you fit on one page. To fit more, switch Text size to 10pt, trim older or weaker bullets, and keep bullets to one or two lines. Most recruiters prefer one page for under 5 years of experience.

Yes. Every resume is generated as LaTeX using the Jake's Resume template. Download the .tex file, copy the code, or click “Open in Overleaf” to continue editing it there. It compiles with pdfLaTeX.

The layout is a single column of real text with no graphics, icons or skill bars, which is what resume parsers handle best, and the PDF is generated so accented names and symbols extract correctly. Our job-match score is our own transparent measure, not an “ATS score”, because there is no single score that every ATS uses.

Paste a job post in the Tailor to a job tab and you get it instantly, free. It checks the job's must-have and nice-to-have skills, key terms, years of experience and title against your resume, and lists what's missing. It matches words, so it's best for spotting missing keywords.

It comes with every AI tailoring. An AI screener lists the job's real requirements and checks your resume against each one by meaning, so different words for the same skill still count. Every “met” has to quote your resume, and we check that quote is really there. You see your score before tailoring, with all suggestions applied, and after your own edits (re-checks for the same job are free for 24 hours).

It's instructed not to. It only rewords and reorders facts already in your resume, and lists anything the job wants that you can't back up as a gap. You review and approve each change yourself.

Because tailoring only rewords what's already true. If the fit check marks something as missing, the score rises when you add true details about it (where it suggests), not from rewording alone. If a requirement is something you haven't done, it stays a gap, and that's honest.

The rewrite left out something specific from your original bullet, like a tool, a number or a product name. Apply it only if you don't need that detail. “Apply all” skips these, so you never lose details by accident.

The job match score is free. AI tailoring (with the fit check) uses one credit from a Job pack: ₹299 for 15 tailorings, one-time. Failed tailorings never use a credit, and re-checking your fit for the same job is free for 24 hours.

Signed out, in your browser on your device, and nowhere else. If you sign in (free, no password), your CVs are saved to your account so they're on your phone and laptop. AI tailoring sends the resume to the AI for that one request, without your name or contact details.

Open My CVs, press Duplicate on your main CV, open the copy and tailor it. Your original stays as it was, and each copy shows which job it was tailored for and its fit score.

Yes. In the builder, open the My CVs menu at the top and choose “Back up all CVs” to download a file, and “Restore from backup” to bring them back on any device. Signed in, your CVs are already saved to your account.

Tap the round account button at the top right and choose Delete account. It deletes your account and all synced CVs straight away.

No. The Job pack is a one-time ₹299 payment for 15 AI tailorings. Nothing renews, and unused credits never expire.

It arrives by email from Dodo Payments, our payment provider, a minute after you pay (check spam too). Paste it in the Tailor to a job tab. If you're signed in with the same email you paid with, it's saved to your account automatically.

Yes: unused Job packs get a full refund within 14 days, and a tailoring that fails is never charged. See the refund policy.
