Why resumezip

An open-source resume builder

All of resumezip’s code is on GitHub, under the MIT License. You don’t have to take our word for what it does with your resume: you can read it.

Start writing

What you can check

Where your resume is saved: in your browser’s storage, unless you save a PDF to your own Google Drive. How your PDF is made: by Typst, running in your browser. And the list of sites the app’s pages may connect to, in its security policy, with why each one is there.

The templates too

Each template is a file you can read and change, and so is every check the editor runs on your resume. A test reads each template’s sample back as plain text, the way hiring software does. See how each template reads.

Run it yourself

With Node 24, clone the repository, then run npm install and npm run dev in its frontend folder. resumezip opens on your own computer.

What it doesn’t do

  • Open source doesn’t mean anyone can see your resume. The code is public; your resume is saved in your browser, and we don’t store it.
  • There’s no app to install. resumezip runs in your browser, or on your own computer if you run the code yourself.

Questions

Can I use the code in my own project?
Yes, under the MIT License: keep its notice with the code.
Does open source mean it’s free?
resumezip is free either way, with no sign-up and no watermark on your PDF.
How do I report a problem or ask for something?
Open an issue on GitHub, or write to us.

More reasons

  • No sign-up: No account, no email and no card, now or when you download.
  • No watermark: Nothing printed on your PDF but what you wrote, and every download free.
  • Private: Your resume is saved in your browser, and we keep no copy.
