Core Features
Everything You Need to Stand Out
A complete toolkit for building professional resumes — from one unified profile to pixel-perfect PDF generation via headless Chrome.
Single Profile, Multiple Themes
Enter your information once. Switch between Modern, Professional, Minimal, and Creative themes instantly — your data follows seamlessly across all layouts.
High-Fidelity PDF Export
Generate pixel-perfect PDFs using headless Google Chrome — the exact same styling you see in the browser preview. No layout shifts, no font issues.
Web Portfolio & Public Link
Automatically generate a shareable printable resume at /resume/slug AND a premium interactive portfolio website at /web-resume/slug.
Live Theme Preview
Preview how your resume looks in different themes side-by-side before committing. One click to switch, another to save — no rebuilding required.
Rich Section Editor
Add unlimited work experiences, education entries, skills with proficiency levels, key projects, certifications, and social links — all with a clean, distraction-free editor.
Privacy Controls
Keep resumes in Draft or mark them Public. Private resumes get a random slug URL so only people you share the link with can access them.
Resume Themes
Choose Your Visual Identity
Four professionally designed templates crafted for different industries and personal styles. Switch between them any time — your content never changes.
Modern
Sleek dark sidebar, bold typography, and a clean two-column grid. Perfect for tech and design roles.
Professional
Corporate blue header, traditional timeline layout. Trusted by finance, law, and management professionals.
Minimal
Elegant serif headings, thin dividers, whitespace. Lets your achievements speak for themselves.
Creative
Vibrant gradients, dynamic layout grids, and bold color accents. Built for designers, marketers, and creators.

Why ResumeBuilder
Built Different, Built Better
Most resume builders lock your design to a single template. We decouple your content from presentation so you can always look your best.
Update Once, Reflect Everywhere
Change your job title or add a skill in your profile and it instantly updates across every resume and theme you own.
Themes, Not Templates
Switch visual styles without touching your content. Modern today, Minimal tomorrow — same resume, new look.
Chrome-Accurate PDFs
We use headless Google Chrome to render PDFs — what you see in the browser is exactly what you get in the file.
Your Own Resume URL
Get a clean, memorable public link like /resume/your-name to share on LinkedIn and job boards.
Privacy First
Draft resumes are invisible to the public. Private resumes use random URL slugs. You control who sees what.
Fast & Lightweight
Built on Ruby on Rails 8 with Turbo for near-instant page transitions. No heavy JS frameworks, just clean performance.
Ready to Land Your Dream Job?
Create a clear, professional resume with clean formatting that is easy for hiring managers and applicant tracking systems to read.
