SIMPLE BY DESIGN

From blank page to brilliant CV.

01

Choose your style

Start with a recruiter-tested, single-column foundation — then pick one of six looks.

02

Make it yours

Type into sections that already sound like a CV. The preview updates as you go.

03

Send with confidence

Download PDF, JPG or Word, correctly named and ready for the application form.

WHAT'S INSIDE

Everything a CV needs. Nothing it doesn't.

Thirteen CV templates

Ten single-column layouts built to survive automated screening, plus three full-CV layouts with achievements, projects and courses.

Drag-and-drop graphics

Twelve elements you drag straight onto the page: rules, blocks, skill bars, rings and monograms. Positioned in percentages, so nothing shifts on export.

PDF, JPG and Word

Export a print-ready PDF, a shareable image, or an editable .docx you can keep tweaking for a week.

Private by default

Your photo sits in private storage and is only served back to your account. No watermarks, ever.

Sign in with Google or GitHub

One tap, or a one-time email code. No password for you to invent, rotate or forget.

Live preview

Watch the CV update as you type, so you always know what you are about to send.

Named files, tidy exports

Files download as Aarav-Mehta-CV.pdf instead of a random string — the first thing a recruiter sees is your name.

ONE BUTTON, THREE FORMATS

Export it the way the job wants it.

Most applications ask for a PDF. Some portals insist on Word. Occasionally an agency wants an image. Rather than rebuild your CV three times, press a button — the content stays identical in every format.

  • PDF pages that keep your spacing, never stretched
  • JPG for sharing in a chat or an application form
  • Word for portals that need an editable document
  • A discreet credit line, not a watermark across the page

Guides that answer the awkward questions.

QUESTIONS PEOPLE ACTUALLY ASK

Before you hit download.

Can I add my own graphic elements?

Yes. The Graphics tab has twelve elements you drag onto the page — rules, accent bars, colour blocks, outline boxes, corner wedges, skill bars, rating dots, progress rings, label pills, quote blocks and monograms. You can reposition, resize and recolour each one. Positions are saved with your CV and hold in every export format.

Do the designer templates still pass CV screening?

The ten single-column ones do what they say — selectable text, standard headings, no text inside images. Sidebar and Wave use two columns, which most modern parsers handle but older ones may reorder. If you are unsure how an employer screens applications, pick a single-column template.

Is CreateOnline CV really free?

Yes. Building and exporting your CV costs nothing and there is no paid tier. We ask for a free account so your CV is saved as you type rather than living only in your browser.

Do I need an account to download my CV?

Yes — we ask you to sign in before the editor opens, using Google, GitHub or a one-time email code. That is what lets us save your CV to your account as you type, so it is still there when you come back tomorrow or open the same CV on your phone. There is no paid step after that.

Why do you need my email?

To save your CV. Without an account everything you type lives in one browser on one device, which is easy to lose. We do not sell your data or use your CV for advertising — see the Privacy Policy.

Can I use this without creating an account?

No, the studio needs a free account. It takes a few seconds with Google or GitHub, and we never ask for a password because we do not store one.

Is my CV data private?

Yes. Your CV is stored against your user ID, your photo lives in private storage that only your account can read, and nothing is sold, shared or used for ad targeting.

What file name will my download have?

We build it from your name — Aarav Mehta becomes Aarav-Mehta-CV.pdf. If your name field is blank we fall back to your job title, so the file is never called something like document1.pdf.

Can I upload a photo of myself?

Yes. Square JPG or PNG works best. Whether you should include a photo depends on the country you are applying in — our guide explains the differences.

Will an ATS accept my CV?

We cannot promise that, because no template can. What we can promise is that our single-column exports contain selectable text and use standard headings, which is what parsing software needs. Nobody can hand you a score.

Can I use the CV for a client or paid work?

Yes — the exported file is yours to use for any professional purpose. You may not resell or rebrand the templates themselves.

How does a free site pay for itself?

Advertising on the public pages, plus clearly labelled partner links on a few pages. Every one of them is disclosed, and none of them appear inside the editor or inside an ad slot.
