Frequently asked questions
Is CVLoom really free?
Yes — editing, all 283 templates, and PDF download are free, with no watermark and no card. There is no account at all: no signup, no login, nothing to cancel.
Will my PDF have selectable text for ATS systems?
Yes. Exports are generated by a real browser engine, so the PDF has true selectable text, embedded fonts, and clickable links — the things resume parsers need.
Can I switch templates without retyping anything?
Yes — your content and the design are stored separately, so switching templates re-flows the same content instantly and losslessly. Try every one of them.
Should my paralegal certificate or degree go first?
Certification first — NALA CP or your state's equivalent is what firms filter for, so give it a certifications section near the top. Keep the degree in education, and surface Westlaw, Clio, or Relativity in skills.
