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.

Do design leaders need a designed resume?

Restraint is the design: a serif name, a quiet rail, hairline rules and generous space signal confidence better than decoration. Recruiters at the principal level read for scope — this page sets the numbers in calm type and stays fully parseable.
