Write, check and export

One CV record, with the format kept under control

Change the design, spacing and accent without rebuilding the content or losing sight of the final A4 pages.

Live A4 editor

See the real page while you write

The preview reflows as the content changes, keeps the page count visible and shows where a genuine second page begins.

20 designs

Switch style without starting again

Choose from Clean, Professional, Sharp and Classic families, then adjust the accent colour, font, spacing and density.

ATS-safe view

Keep a plain version beside the designed one

Switch to a single-column view with real selectable text, or copy the CV as plain text for an online application form.

Job-advert check

Compare the role with what you wrote

Paste a job advert to see which useful terms already appear in the CV and which may deserve a truthful addition.

CV coach

Find missing details before export

The strength score and section prompts flag common gaps while leaving every claim and wording decision with you.

Your records

Keep more than one version

Create separate CVs for different roles, duplicate an existing record and export a backup file that you control.

Designed and plain

Prepare the PDF and the application-form version together

The ATS-safe view removes decorative layout while preserving the same underlying CV content.

  • Real selectable text rather than a flattened image
  • Plain single-column reading order
  • Visible A4 page count and overflow check
  • Plain-text copy for online application forms

How it works

Build one record, then prepare each version

No installation, account or subscription is required.

Add the real experience

Enter the roles, education, skills and results you can support, using the section prompts where they help.

Choose the presentation

Try the 20 designs, set the accent and spacing, and watch the live pages reflow around the content.

Check and export

Review the page count and job-advert terms, switch to the ATS-safe view, then print to PDF or copy the plain text.

Private by design

Your employment history stays on your device

The builder runs locally in your browser. It has no account, cloud database, analytics or AI service, and it does not upload your CV or the job adverts you paste.

Its six font families are embedded in the downloaded file, so the editor remains available offline. JSON backups are manual files that you control. Keep a backup somewhere separate from the downloaded app.

Frequently asked

Before you buy

What makes the Pro edition different?

Pro expands the library from 20 designs across four styles to 147 designs across 21 families. It also adds a matching cover-letter builder, references sheet and 11 profession packs.

Can I move from the Base edition to Pro?

Yes. Export a JSON backup from the Base builder and import it into Pro. The editions share the same underlying CV data format for that upgrade route.

Does the ATS-safe view guarantee that an application passes?

No. It provides a plain single-column version with selectable text and a clear reading order. Recruitment systems and employer processes vary, so no builder can guarantee an outcome.

Does it need an internet connection?

No. The app and its fonts are contained in the downloaded file. Once Etsy has delivered it, the builder runs offline in your browser.

Can it import my existing CV automatically?

No. Enter the content into the builder and check it as you go. The app does not upload, parse or rewrite an existing document.

Which computers and browsers does it work on?

It works on Windows, Mac and Linux computers in a modern version of Chrome, Edge, Safari or Firefox.

What is included in the download?

The single-file UK CV Builder app, a quick-start guide, and licence and support details. Etsy delivers the download after purchase.
