About Free Resume Maker

Who We Are

Free Resume Maker is a free online resume builder created and maintained by NoviSoft Studios, an independent software studio that builds simple, practical web tools. We started this project because many resume builders ask you to create an account, add a watermark, or charge you at the very last step, after you have already typed in all of your details. We wanted to offer something plainer: a tool that lets you build a clean resume, preview it live, and download it without paying or signing up.

NoviSoft Studios focuses on small, fast and easy-to-use tools that solve everyday problems. Free Resume Maker is our first public project, and we plan to keep improving it and, over time, add more free tools for job seekers and everyday users.

Our Mission

Our mission is to make good career tools available to everyone, whatever their budget or technical skill. A well-presented resume should not depend on whether you can afford a subscription. Whether you are a student preparing your first resume or an experienced professional updating an old one, you should be able to produce a clear, professional document in minutes.

Why It Is Free

Free Resume Maker is free to use, with no premium plan, no account and no watermark on the resumes you create. To help cover hosting and development costs, we may show advertising from services such as Google AdSense. Ads never get access to your resume content, which stays in your browser (see below).

Privacy First: Your Resume Data Stays in Your Browser

The resume builder runs inside your web browser. When you type your name, work history, skills or contact details, that information is kept in your browser’s local storage on your own device. It is not sent to our servers, and we have no database of user resumes.

• We cannot see or access the content of your resume
• Your saved data is removed when you press Clear All or clear your browser data
• The PDF is created on your device, either with the Download PDF button or through your browser’s print dialog
• An uploaded profile photo is also kept only in your browser

Our Resume Guides

Alongside the tool, we publish free resume writing guides on topics such as writing a first resume, summary examples, ATS-friendly formatting, and common mistakes. The guides are written by the NoviSoft Studios team as general information to help you write a clearer resume. They are not professional career counselling, and they do not guarantee interviews or job offers. Please read our Disclaimer for more on this.
