A resume editor that keeps the work in your browser

Built for readable resumes

Use clean text-based templates, preview the PDF layout, and inspect the exact plain text that application systems can read.

Make each application intentional

Tailor and export the right resume, then privately track the role, next action, interviews, and outcome in your browser.

What PrivaCV is for

PrivaCV is for people who want to create a clean resume and organize their job search without creating an account or handing personal data to a career platform. It supports structured editing, ATS-friendly review, PDF and DOCX export, and a local job application tracker with resume snapshots and Sankey export.

What makes a resume ATS-friendly

Applicant tracking systems vary, so no tool can promise a result with every employer. PrivaCV uses straightforward text-based resume structure and lets you inspect the exported plain text before applying. That makes it easier to catch missing contact information, unclear section titles, and formatting that may not travel well.

How PrivaCV works

  1. Start a new resume or import your existing PDF, DOCX, JSON, or text.
  2. Tailor the content and review the clean, text-based preview.
  3. Export a PDF or editable DOCX from your browser.

Features

  • Create a resume from a blank draft, sample, imported PDF or DOCX, pasted text, or saved JSON.
  • Tailor experience, projects, education, skills, and custom sections for a specific application.
  • Review resume checks, compare versions, and export clean PDF, DOCX, or plain-text copies.
  • Keep your resume library and per-resume edit history in browser storage under your control.
  • Track applications, next actions, interviews, resume versions, and outcomes in a private local pipeline.
