Privacy

FreeCVTool runs in your browser. Writing your CV, generating the PDF and Word files, the ATS checks and the job-description comparison all happen on your device. We do not receive or store your CV on a server, and the site uses no accounts, analytics or advertising trackers.

So that you can continue later, your CV is saved automatically in this browser on this device. It stays there until you choose “Reset all data” or clear your browser’s site data. It is lost if you use a private window, clear your browser data or switch to another browser or device – use Import & Export to save a backup file. On a shared computer, reset your data when you are done.

Like any website, our hosting provider (Cloudflare) processes technical request data such as IP addresses to deliver the pages. The optional “Look up DOI” feature sends only the DOI you enter to Crossref.

Frequently asked questions

›Is FreeCVTool really free?

Yes. All features, including PDF and Word export, are free. There is no subscription, no watermark and no paid upgrade.

›Do I need to create an account?

No. Open the page and start writing – there is no sign-up and no login.

›Is my personal information stored on a server?

No. Your CV is processed in your browser and saved only in this browser on your device; it is not uploaded to a FreeCVTool server. Our hosting provider processes ordinary technical request data (such as your IP address) to deliver the website, but not the contents of your CV.

›What is an ATS-friendly CV?

Many employers use an applicant tracking system (ATS) to read and search CVs. An ATS-friendly CV uses real text, a clear single-column reading order, standard section headings and consistent dates, so the software can extract your details correctly. FreeCVTool’s optional ATS mode applies these rules and checks your CV against them. No tool can guarantee how a specific ATS will assess your application.

›Can I download my CV as a PDF?

Yes. Download your CV as a PDF with selectable text and clickable links, in A4 or US Letter format. You can also export an editable Word (DOCX) file.

›Can I create a CV in German or Dutch?

Yes. Set the document language to German or Dutch and the section headings, dates and labels in your CV follow that language. The ATS tools are available in English, Dutch and German; the rest of the editor is currently in English.

›Will my CV information disappear if I reload the page?

Normally not: your CV is saved automatically in this browser, so it is still there after a reload. It is lost if you clear your browser data, use a private window, or switch to another browser or device – export a backup to keep a copy. ATS settings and a pasted job description are kept in memory only and are cleared when you reload.
