Build a resume that actually gets read
Start by picking a layout. Every section you might need, a PDF at the end, and no account to create.
We keep none of this. Your resume is built and turned into a PDF entirely inside your browser — it is never sent to us, so there is nothing for us to store, read or lose.
The names and details on these are invented. Pick one and the form opens filled with its example for you to edit over — and you can switch layouts later without retyping anything.
Questions about the resume builder
Is the resume builder really free?
Yes. There is no account to create, no card to enter and no limit on how many times you download. It is free because it is a useful thing to give away, not a trial of something else.
Do you store my resume or my personal details?
No. The resume is built and turned into a PDF entirely inside your browser, so the text you type is never sent to us. Your draft is saved on your own device so you can come back to it, and you can clear it at any time with the reset button. The only request that reaches us when you download is an empty counter with no content in it, so we can see how often the tool is used.
Will the PDF work with an applicant tracking system?
Yes. Downloading opens your browser’s print dialog and you choose “Save as PDF”, which produces real selectable text rather than a picture of a page. That is the difference that decides whether an ATS can read a resume at all.
How do I download my resume as a PDF?
Click Download PDF. Your browser’s print dialog opens — choose “Save as PDF” as the destination rather than a printer, then save. Nothing is uploaded at any point in that process.
Can I change the template after I have started writing?
Yes. Pick any of the six layouts at any point and everything you have typed carries across — you never retype anything to try a different look. Colour, density and accent can be changed the same way.
Do I need a Beagler account to use it?
No. Beagler is recruitment software used by agencies and in-house hiring teams, and the resume builder is a free tool that sits outside it. You can use the builder without ever signing up.
