What is the best free resume builder?

ResumePeaks lets you edit every template for free and download the Compact template as PDF at no cost. Upgrade only if you want premium templates, DOCX, or more AI.

How do I create an ATS resume?

Pick a clean single-column template, use standard section headings, quantify achievements, and run our ATS Resume Checker to fix parse and keyword gaps before you apply.

Can I build a resume for free?

Yes. You can build and edit online for free. Compact PDF download is free. Other template downloads and DOCX require Resume Pass or Pro.

How do I improve my CV?

Lead with measurable results, tailor keywords to the job description, keep formatting ATS-friendly, and use our AI rewriter plus ATS score to iterate quickly.

How do I update my resume?

Import your existing PDF or DOCX into ResumePeaks, refresh bullets with recent wins, update skills, then re-check ATS score before exporting.

How long should a resume be?

One page is ideal for most early and mid-career roles. Two pages are fine for senior profiles with deep, relevant experience — never pad with fluff.

Should I include a photo on my resume?

In the US and many tech roles, skip the photo. In markets where photos are expected, use our Creative or Modern Pro templates and a professional headshot.
