Free resume builder questions
Is CVEdge's resume builder really free?+
Yes. The free plan includes: 3 resumes, 10 ATS scans per week, 25 AI bullet rewrites per week, 5 job match analyses per week, 5 cover letters per week, 3 PDF downloads per week, and access to all 20 free templates. No credit card required. Pro (unlimited everything + 4 Pro templates) costs £5/week.
How long does it take to build a resume on CVEdge?+
If you upload an existing CV, CVEdge parses it in under 60 seconds and pre-fills your content automatically. From there, ATS analysis takes 10 seconds, Fix All ATS rewrites every bullet in under 30 seconds, and PDF download is instant. Total time from upload to finished resume: 8–12 minutes for most users.
Does the free resume builder add watermarks to the PDF?+
No. CVEdge's free plan generates clean, professional PDFs with no CVEdge branding or watermarks. The PDF looks identical to a professionally formatted document. There is no 'remove watermark' upgrade — all plans export clean PDFs.
Can I use CVEdge to update an existing resume?+
Yes — upload your existing CV (PDF or Word) and CVEdge parses it into the editor. Your content is preserved in the correct sections. You can then choose a new template, improve your ATS score, update your experience, and download a new version. You're not starting from scratch.
What file formats does CVEdge accept for upload?+
CVEdge accepts PDF (.pdf) and Microsoft Word (.docx) files. PDF parsing works for most standard resumes. Word parsing handles all common layouts. If your upload doesn't parse correctly, you can manually enter your content in the editor — the structured form makes this fast.

Free plan: 3 CVs, 10 ATS scans/week, 25 AI rewrites/week, 5 job matches/week, 3 PDF downloads/week, 20 free templates. Pro plan: unlimited everything, 4 additional Pro templates (Executive Pro, Electric Lilac, Executive Sidebar, Wentworth), 80+ ATS score guarantee, and priority support. Pro costs £5/week (or £14/month, £120/year).
