# Free resume builder

> A free resume builder with no premium tier: unlimited resumes and cover letters, 18 templates, and PDF, Word, OpenDocument, Markdown and JSON downloads.

Reactive Resume is a free resume builder. On [rxresu.me](https://rxresu.me) you get every feature with no premium tier, no watermark and no paywall on downloads. The project is open source and funded by donations, which is why nothing is held back.

## What you get for free

* **Unlimited documents.** Keep as many resumes and cover letters as you need, and copy one for each job.
* **18 templates.** Switch at any time without retyping; your content stays the same and only the design changes.
* **Design controls.** Font pairings (or any of about 500 fonts), text size, density, accent colour, margins, A4, Letter or Free-form pages, and multi-page layouts.
* **Every download format.** PDF, Word, OpenDocument, Markdown and JSON, as often as you like.
* **Check mode.** A readability score, issues pinned to the exact lines on your page, and keyword matching against a job posting.
* **Public links.** Share a live page with an optional password and see how often it is viewed.
* **Application tracker.** Follow every job from saved to offer, with a board, a calendar for interviews and insights.
* **Version history.** Name versions and go back to any earlier state.
* **Imports.** Bring in a PDF, a Reactive Resume or JSON Resume file, or a LinkedIn data export. Word files work too once you connect an AI provider.
* **50+ languages** for the app interface.

AI features are free to use in Reactive Resume too, but they run on your own AI provider account, which may charge you. See [AI resume builder](/use-cases/ai-resume-builder).

## When the hosted app is the right choice

Use [rxresu.me](https://rxresu.me) when you want a resume quickly and do not want to run any software. You need an account so your documents are saved between visits. Sign up with an email address and password, or with a social account where one is offered.

## When it is not

If your organization needs its own deployment, its own sign-in provider or control over where data is stored, run your own instance instead. See [Self-hosted resume builder](/use-cases/self-hosted-resume-builder).

If you only want to check an existing PDF, you do not need an account at all: the [ATS checker](/guides/using-the-ats-checker) runs in your browser.
