How to Make a Resume With Our Resume Builder in 3 Steps
Step 1
1. Pick a template or import your resume
Pick a template and fill in your details in the resume builder, or import your existing resume and rebuild it in a clean, ATS-friendly design in one click.
Step 2
2. Add your details and let AI improve the wording
Claude-powered suggestions turn duty lists into measurable achievements, flag weak sections, and check your resume against ATS rules right inside the editor.
Step 3
3. Download your resume as a PDF
Export a pixel-perfect PDF with a real text layer. No credit card, no trial.
Why Use a Resume Builder Instead of Word, Google Docs, or Canva?
NovoresumeATS
A real text layer that parses in Workday, Greenhouse, Lever, iCIMS, and Taleo, locked formatting that never shifts, and an ATS Checker built into the editor itself.
Word & Google DocsATS
One edit and the whole layout shifts. Tables and text boxes silently break ATS parsing, and the file renders differently on the recruiter’s machine.
CanvaATS
Beautiful, but design-first exports often trap your text inside graphics that applicant tracking systems can’t read.
Compared to Word, Docs, and Canva, Novoresume is a real step up for anyone who isn’t confident about resume structure, because it actively teaches good practice as you build, and doesn’t let you guess, which none of those tools do.

Our Resume Builder, Reviewed by the People Who Screen Resumes
Working recruiters, career coaches and certified resume writers reviewed Novoresume independently. Here is what four of them said.
Novoresume's templates split the difference because they are visually distinct enough to stand out, but built with an eye toward getting through the ATS filters.

Built to Pass ATS Screening
82.3% of recruiters use an applicant tracking system to screen candidates, according to Novoresume’s survey of HR professionals. Our resume builder is designed to pass automated screening without giving up style: what you design is what both the software and the recruiter see.
| Resumes | Avg. Invites | Zero-Invite Rate |
|---|---|---|
| 1 Version | 2.0 | 18.4% |
| 2-3 Versions | 3.1 | 6.1% |
| BEST4+ versions | 4.2+ | 8.3% (or lower) |
It pays to tailor: job seekers who keep 4 or more resume versions average 4.2 interview invites per search vs 2.0 for those who send one resume everywhere, per The Resume Report 2026. Duplicating and tailoring a resume here takes minutes.

Resume Builder FAQ
What is a resume builder?
A resume builder is an online tool that turns your work history into a formatted resume. You pick a template, fill in sections like experience, education and skills, and the tool handles layout, spacing and fonts. Novoresume’s resume builder also checks your content against ATS rules as you type and exports a PDF with a real text layer.
Is the Novoresume resume builder free?
Yes. The core resume builder is free. You can create, edit and download a resume on the Basic plan with 8 templates, no credit card and no trial period. Pro adds the AI assistant, cover letters, all templates and custom layouts. It comes as a subscription or a one-time pass, with a 14-day money-back guarantee. See pricing for current plans.
Resume builder, resume maker, resume creator, resume generator: what’s the difference?
Nothing. They are four names for the same kind of tool: an online editor with resume templates that formats your content for you. People search for all four. Whichever word you used to get here, Novoresume does the same job: you add your details, it produces a resume that recruiters and ATS software can read.
How do I make a resume with Novoresume?
Three steps. First, pick a template or import the resume you already have. Second, fill in your details and use the AI suggestions to turn duties into achievements. Third, download the PDF and apply. If you want help with the content itself, read our guide on how to make a resume.
What is the best online resume builder?
The best resume builder gives you templates that pass ATS parsing, AI suggestions that stay true to your experience, and a PDF you can download without tricks. Novoresume was ranked #1 on Forbes’ list of 5 AI resume builders to try, is reviewed by 14 working recruiters and career coaches, and holds 4.5 out of 5 on Trustpilot from 1,583+ reviews. 18M+ job seekers have used it.
Will my resume pass ATS screening?
Novoresume resumes are built for it. Every template exports a PDF with a real text layer, standard section headings and a clean reading order, which is what ATS software needs to parse a resume. In our survey of HR professionals, 82.3% of recruiters said they use an ATS. You can test any resume for free with the ATS Resume Checker.
How does the AI resume builder work?
The AI assistant runs on Claude, Anthropic’s AI model. It drafts from the experience you enter, turns duty lists into measurable achievements, and gives advice while you write. You approve every line, so nothing goes on your resume that you did not do. That matters: The Resume Report 2026 found that job seekers who let AI write their whole resume were 3x more likely to include something inaccurate.
Can I download my resume as a PDF?
Yes, on every plan, including the free one. The export is a PDF with a real text layer, so your fonts, colors and layout stay exactly as you designed them, and ATS software can still read every word. You can download as many times as you need after each edit.
Is it safe to use an online resume builder?
Yes, when you choose a reputable provider. Novoresume is a Danish company and follows GDPR. Your data is encrypted, and you stay in control of your documents and your account.
Can I make a CV with Novoresume?
Yes. The same editor builds CVs and resumes. Pick a CV template and add the sections a CV needs, such as publications, conferences or certifications. All CV layouts are ATS-friendly and can run over two pages or more. Start with the CV maker.
Can I build my resume on my phone?
Yes. The resume builder runs in any mobile browser on phones and tablets. You can create, edit and download your resume without installing an app. Everything saves to your account, so you can start on your phone and finish on a laptop.
