Frequently Asked Questions

Is it really free to download my resume?
Yes. Unlike other sites, we don't charge you at the final step. Both PDF and DOCX downloads are 100% free.
How does the AI Tailoring work?
After you sign up, you can save your resume to your account. Once you save a resume, open it, and on the side menu, click the AI Resume Tailoring option. A modal pops up where you can paste a job description, and our AI will help suggest changes to your resume. After the work is finished, your new resume will be saved to your account. We run this AI on our own infrastructure to keep your data private.
Do I need to create an account?
No. You can use the editor and download your resume without an account. Accounts are optional for saving progress or using AI features, but you can still save your data offline regardless.
Can I download my resume in Word (DOCX) format?
Yes! We support both PDF and DOCX exports so you can edit your resume later in Microsoft Word if you wish.
Can I download my resume in PDF format?
Yes! We support both PDF and DOCX exports so you can edit your resume later in Microsoft Word if you wish.
How is this site making money?
It's not. The purpose of this site is to offer a free tool, not to be an income stream.
Why are AI features locked behind an account?
This is done to enforce security. We use private servers for our AI so we need a way to keep out bad actors trying to bypass AI safeguards or corrupt our systems. We still don't sell or share your data.
If I upload my resume, will it be used for training models?
No, the models are already trained. We use open source models and don't use user data for anything related to that. Your trust in us is valuable.

Why does this website exist?

We created Resume Helper after seeing too many "bait-and-switch" websites. You spend 30 minutes crafting a CV, only to be hit with a $20 paywall at the "Download" button. We hate that. Here, the editor is free, the downloads are free, and your privacy is respected.
