01 · Writing
The editor
A split editor, not a wizard
Sections on the left, the form in the middle, a real page on the right. Nothing is hidden behind a “next” button, so you can jump straight to the one bullet you came back to fix.
A preview that is the document
The preview, the print view and the exported PDF are rendered by the same component from the same data. There is no second renderer that can quietly disagree with the first.
Autosave while you type
Edits are written about once every 1.2 seconds during active typing and immediately when you leave a field. Close the tab mid-sentence; the sentence is still there.
12 built-in sections
Summary, experience, education, skills, languages, projects, certifications, awards, volunteering, publications, interests and references — each with fields that match what belongs on a CV.
Reorder, rename, hide
Drag a section to move it; the array position is the render order, so the page updates as you drop. Rename “Work Experience” to “Selected Engagements”, or switch a section off without deleting a word of it.
Room for a long career
One document holds up to 40 roles, 20 qualifications, 80 skills and 30 projects. The limit on your CV should be a reader’s attention, not the software.
02 · Design
Templates and customisation
56 templates, six families
Modern, corporate, creative, technology, classic and ATS-focused. 16 of them are free, and every one is a real layout rather than the same grid in a different colour.
Switch template without losing data
Your content and your styling are two separate objects. Moving from a serif classic to a two-column tech layout rewrites only the styling — no retyping, no dropped bullets, no truncation.
Colour and paper on every plan
Accent colour, photo on or off, photo shape and date format are free-plan controls. So is paper: A4 (210 × 297 mm) or US Letter (8.5 × 11 in), chosen per document.
15 font families
Sans and serif faces chosen for legibility at 10pt, set separately for headings and body text. Pro-plan control, because typography is where a CV is won or lost on the second page.
Spacing you can actually tune
Text size, line height, space between sections and page margins are sliders, not guesses. This is the toolkit for pulling three orphaned lines back onto page one.
Custom sections
Up to six sections of your own — “Clinical Rotations”, “Exhibitions”, “Security Clearances” — with headings you write. A Pro feature; the twelve built-ins are free.
Eight of the 56
Live previews, rendered by the same components that build your document.
Senior Product Designer
Senior product designer with nine years of experience shaping B2B SaaS products used by more than two million people. I pair rigorous discovery with fast, high-fidelity prototyping, and I am happiest when a design decision can be traced back to a measured user outcome. Previously led the design system that unified four product surfaces at Atlas Cloud, cutting new-feature design time by 40%.
Design lead for the Workspace pillar — onboarding, billing and the admin console — supporting 2.1M monthly active users across web and mobile.
- Rebuilt the self-serve onboarding flow, lifting activation from 34% to 58% within two quarters.
- Created and shipped the Atlas Design System (180 components, 3 platforms), reducing time-to-first-prototype by 40%.
- Introduced a fortnightly research cadence; 46 studies run in 18 months now inform the roadmap.
- Mentored four designers, two of whom were promoted to senior level.
Second designer in a 25-person fintech startup. Owned the merchant-facing dashboard end to end, from problem framing through to shipped interface.
- Shipped a reconciliation dashboard that cut average support tickets per merchant by 31%.
- Ran the first accessibility audit in company history and closed 92% of WCAG AA issues.
- Established the component library that the engineering team still builds on today.
Agency work across fifteen client engagements in retail, travel and public sector, from brand-led marketing sites to internal tooling.
- Delivered a booking flow redesign that increased completed reservations by 22%.
- Standardised the studio’s handoff process, halving design-to-development clarification cycles.
Thesis on trust signals in financial interfaces, supervised by the LIG research group.
An open-source UI kit for North African e-commerce, with first-class RTL support and Arabic type pairing guidance.
- 4.1k GitHub stars and 60+ contributors.
- Adopted by three regional marketplaces.
A volunteer-built platform matching solar installers with rural cooperatives; designed and built the entire front end.
- Deployed across 12 cooperatives in the Souss-Massa region.
For the Atlas Cloud marketing relaunch.
Over 300 hours of one-to-one mentoring for designers entering the industry, with a focus on the MENA region.
A field study of how visual and copy signals change completion rates in remittance flows.

Academic CV
classic · one column
Modern
10Contemporary layouts with generous whitespace and a single accent colour. The safest place to start if you are not sure what your industry expects.
Corporate
10Structured, restrained designs built for finance, consulting, management and other environments where a CV is judged on rigour before personality.
Creative
10Expressive layouts for design, art direction, photography and content roles — where the document itself is a work sample.
Technology
10Engineering-oriented templates with room for a stack, projects and open-source work, without turning your CV into a keyword dump.
Classic
10Traditional, serif-friendly formats for academia, law, government and any employer that still expects a conventional document.
ATS-friendly
6Stripped-back, single-column layouts engineered to be parsed correctly by applicant tracking systems. No columns, no graphics, no surprises.
03 · Output
Export, pagination and sharing
PDF with real text
Headless Chromium renders the same markup with fonts embedded. The text is selectable, searchable and machine-readable — never a screenshot of your CV wrapped in a PDF.
Pagination you can see while editing
Pages are laid out at true page pixels — 794 × 1123 for A4, 816 × 1056 for Letter — and scaled with a transform, so the page break in the preview is the page break in the file.
Headings that do not strand themselves
Section headings and the first row beneath them are kept together, and a job is not split so that only its dates land on page two.
Sensible file names
The download is named after you — amina-el-fassi-cv.pdf — not document(3).pdf. It is the name a recruiter will see in their inbox.
Print straight from the browser
A dedicated print view with the same stylesheet, for when the application asks for a hard copy or you want to proof it on paper.
A share link when you need one
Publish a CV at an unguessable URL to paste into an e-mail, and switch it off again in one click. Turning sharing off always works, even if a paid period has lapsed.
Why we are careful about the phrase “ATS-proof”
Applicant tracking systems are dozens of different products, configured differently by every employer that buys one. Nobody can promise your CV will parse perfectly everywhere, and a builder that promises it is selling you something. What we can do is control the things that reliably break parsers: multi-column reading order, text baked into images, decorative bullet glyphs, and headings that are styled rather than structural. That is what our 23 highest-scoring templates avoid, and it is why we publish a per-template score instead of a badge.
04 · Job search
Running an actual search
One CV per application
The highest-leverage thing you can do is tailor. Free keeps 2 versions so you can see it work; Pro removes the ceiling entirely.
Duplicate, then edit
Copy a finished CV in one click and rewrite the summary and the top three bullets for the posting in front of you. A tailored version takes about five minutes.
A dashboard that shows the truth
Every CV with its template, when you last touched it and how many times it has been downloaded — plus your live quota, so a limit is never a surprise at the download button.
ATS-focused layouts
23 templates score 5/5 on our parser checklist: one column, no text in graphics, real headings, ordinary bullet characters. 15 of those are on the free plan, and 5 sit in the dedicated ATS family.
Worked examples to start from
CV examples by role and career stage, written out in full rather than summarised, so you can see what a strong bullet looks like before you write your own.
Guides that are about writing
The blog covers what to put in a summary, how to quantify an achievement, and what ATS software really does — not tips about “passion” and “synergy”.
05 · Your account
Data, billing and control
Sign in with e-mail or Google
Authentication is handled by Firebase Authentication. We never store your password; a short-lived token is exchanged once for an httpOnly session cookie.
Your CVs are yours
Documents are stored per account and are private by default. A CV is only reachable by anyone else if you deliberately publish a share link.
Export and delete
Download your data, or delete the account outright. Deletion removes the auth record, the profile, every CV and the payment history — not a “deactivated” flag on a row we keep.
Limits enforced on the server
Every quota is checked before the action runs, not merely hidden in the interface. That cuts both ways: what the pricing page promises is what the server actually allows.
Nothing renews behind your back
Paid access is a single payment covering 31 days, with no stored card and no recurring agreement. There is no cancellation maze because there is nothing to cancel.
Analytics you can live with
Event names and low-cardinality properties only. No CV content, no e-mail addresses and none of the free text you typed ever reaches an analytics tool.
Paid plans
All 56 templates, unlimited CVs and unlimited downloads, full typography control.
