Is ResumAI free to try?

Yes. You get 30 free AI optimizations — no signup, no credit card. After that, Pro gives you unlimited access to all features for just €7.99/month.

Do I need to create an account?

No. Start building immediately. An account is only needed if you want to save your CV and access it later from another device.

Will my CV pass ATS systems?

All our templates are tested against major ATS systems including Workday, Greenhouse, Lever and iCIMS. Our ATS score engine checks 7 dimensions of ATS compatibility in real time so you can see exactly what to fix.

What file formats can I export?

PDF (all users) and a shareable live link (all users). DOCX export is available today and rendering is prioritized for Pro users.

How is this different from Canva or Google Docs?

Canva and Docs create beautiful documents that ATS systems often cannot read. ResumAI creates ATS-safe CVs that look great to humans and pass automated screening — not a compromise between the two.

Can I use it on my phone?

Yes. The full builder works on mobile. Create, edit and download your CV from any device.

How does the AI work?

Our AI analyzes your experience, the job description you're targeting and widely-used CV writing conventions and ATS-parsing best practices to suggest improvements, rewrite bullet points and identify keyword gaps. It never invents experience you don't have.
