About GetYourCV

GetYourCV is a free AI CV maker that helps you create a professional, ATS-friendly CV in minutes. We've built a tool that gets out of your way and lets you focus on what actually matters: landing your next opportunity.

Our story

A Simple Idea

Back in 2019, GetYourCV started with the most basic solution possible: a handful of clean, professional CV templates for Microsoft Word. That was it. No AI, no fancy features — just well-designed formats that anyone could download, customize, and use without wrestling with document formatting.

It wasn't revolutionary, but it worked. And people needed it.

The Evolution

As we listened to our users, patterns emerged. Microsoft Word was causing more problems than it solved — broken formatting, compatibility issues, and resumes rejected by Applicant Tracking Systems before reaching human eyes. So we built an online CV builder that just worked.

Then we noticed something troubling: the resume-building space was becoming increasingly manipulative. Competitors were using deceptive tactics — fake free trials, last-minute paywalls, and designs that looked good but failed ATS systems. Job seekers deserved better.

We chose a different path. We integrated AI to genuinely help, as real assistance when you're stuck. We optimized for ATS while keeping designs customizable. We added 20 languages for a global workforce. And most importantly, we kept our free plan actually useful, not a bait-and-switch.

Today

Over 100,000 job seekers use GetYourCV every month to create their CVs. What started as a simple collection of Microsoft Word CV templates has grown into a comprehensive, AI-powered platform built on honesty, not hype.

Our core belief hasn't changed: everyone deserves a professional CV, regardless of their technical skills or budget. That idea guided us when we were just offering templates, and it guides us now as we build the future of CV creation.

We've come a long way from those first Word documents. And we're just getting started.

What makes us different

Simple, step-by-step guidance

We walk you through each section so you don't miss the details that matter. No guesswork, no stress.

ATS-optimized templates

Our templates are engineered to pass through Applicant Tracking Systems — the software that scans your resume before human eyes ever see it. Clean formatting, proper heading structures and readable fonts mean your qualifications actually reach the hiring manager.

Fully customizable design

Once you've got the ATS-friendly foundation, you can customize colors, fonts, layouts and sections to reflect your personal brand. Professional doesn't have to mean boring.

AI that actually helps

Staring at a blank page is the worst. Our AI assistant helps you write and refine your experience and summaries with smart, relevant suggestions — no more writer’s block.

Speak your language

Job seeking is global. That's why GetYourCV supports CV creation in 20 different languages.

Genuinely free, fairly premium

Our free plan gives you everything you need to create and download a professional CV. We also offer premium features for those who want extra options — but we'll never cripple the free version to force an upgrade. No hidden paywalls, no manipulative tactics, no last-minute surprises.

What we believe

Opportunity shouldn't have a price tag

Your ability to land a great job shouldn't depend on whether you can afford expensive resume services or design software. That's why our free plan gives you everything you need to create a professional CV — no tricks that force you to upgrade.

Honesty beats hype

The job search is hard enough without being misled by false promises or manipulative pricing. We're upfront about what's free and what's premium. Our free plan is genuinely useful, not a teaser designed to frustrate you into paying.

Your time is valuable

You shouldn't waste hours fighting with formatting or figuring out complicated tools. We built GetYourCV to be intuitive and fast, so you can spend your energy on what really matters — preparing for your next opportunity.

Technology should empower, not intimidate

Not everyone is tech-savvy, and that's okay. Our AI and tools are designed to assist you, not overwhelm you. Whether you're a recent graduate or changing careers, we meet you where you are.

Fair pricing, always

If you choose to upgrade, it's because you genuinely want extra features — not because we've made the free version unusable. We believe in earning your trust, not exploiting your needs.

Progress over perfection

We’re constantly learning and improving. Your feedback shapes how we evolve, because this platform exists to serve you — not the other way around.

Frequently asked questions

Is GetYourCV really a free CV maker?
Yes! Our free plan includes everything you need to create a professional, ATS-friendly CV — AI assistance, multiple CV templates and full customization. You can create and download your CV in PDF format without paying a cent.
What's the difference between free and premium?
Our free plan is fully functional and designed to get you hired. Premium offers extra perks like more template designs and advanced AI features. But here's the key: the free version isn't crippled — it's a complete tool on its own.
Will I be pressured to upgrade?
No. We don't believe in manipulative tactics like limiting downloads at the last minute, hiding features behind paywalls, or bombarding you with upgrade prompts. If you're happy with the free plan, we're happy too.
How do you sustain the platform?
We operate on a freemium model. Some users choose to upgrade for extra features, and that support lets us keep the core platform free for everyone. It's a fair exchange.
Will the free plan always be available?
Absolutely. Keeping a genuinely useful free tier is core to who we are. We're not going to pull the rug out from under you.
Is my data safe?
Yes. We take your privacy seriously. Your personal information and CV data are secure, and we never sell your information to third parties. You own your data, period.
What makes your CV templates ATS-friendly?
Our templates use clean formatting, standard fonts, simple layouts and properly structured headings that Applicant Tracking Systems can easily parse. This ensures your resume gets read by the software — and then by humans.
Can I customize the design?
Absolutely! While our templates start with ATS-friendly foundations, you can personalize colors, fonts, spacing and section arrangements to make your CV uniquely yours.
I'm not a native English speaker. Can you help?
Yes! We support CV creation in 20 different languages, and our AI assistant can help you craft professional content regardless of your language background.
