Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about FreeResumeBuilder.com, data privacy, and resume creation.

General & Privacy

Is FreeResumePro.com really free?

Yes, it is 100% free. We support the platform with unobtrusive ads so you don't have to pay a cent. There are no paywalls, premium tiers, or watermarks on your downloaded PDF.

Where is my data stored?

Your data is stored locally in your browser (LocalStorage). We do not store your personal information on our servers. This ensures your privacy while allowing you to come back and continue editing later, provided you use the same browser and device.

Features & Usage

Can I start with a template example?

Yes! In the sidebar, click the "Load Example" button to browse over 60+ professionally written resume examples across various industries (Tech, Business, Healthcare, etc.). Using an example is a great way to overcome writer's block.

How do I clear my data and start over?

You can click the "Reset Data" button in the sidebar to clear all fields and start fresh. Additionally, after you download your PDF, we'll ask if you want to reset the form for a new resume.

Are the templates ATS-friendly?

Absolutely. Our templates (especially the "Classic" and "Minimal" options) are designed with clean, semantic structure that Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) can easily parse. We avoid complex graphics or columns that often confuse scanning software.

Troubleshooting

My download is blocked or failing?

PDF generation happens securely on our servers. If the download doesn't start, please ensure you don't have strict pop-up blockers active. If issues persist, try refreshing the page or using a different browser.
