Why people switch from Zety, Resume.io, and Novoresume
Most resume builders show you a finished resume, then charge you to download it. Resumap doesn't.

Frequently asked questions
Is this resume builder really free?
Yes. You can build a complete resume and download it as a PDF for free — no credit card, no trial, no watermark. We offer optional paid credits for AI tools like ATS scanning, but the core builder and PDF export are free.
Do I need to create an account?
Sign-in with Google is required to save your resume and download the PDF. There's no separate sign-up form, no password to remember, and no credit card. The Google OAuth round-trip takes about 5 seconds.
Will there be a watermark on my downloaded resume?
Never. All 23 free templates export as clean, watermark-free PDFs.
Is the PDF ATS-friendly?
Yes. All Resumap templates use ATS-friendly DOM order (main column → sidebar) with standard section labels and no skill-bar visual encoding — the parsing patterns that the major Applicant Tracking Systems rely on.
How is Resumap different from Zety or Resume.io?
Zety and Resume.io both run a $1.95-or-$2.95 trial that converts automatically to $25.95-$29.95 every 4 weeks (~$337–$389 annualised). Resumap doesn't — the full PDF export is free on every template, forever, no trial, no card. See our full /compare/zety and /compare/resume-io pages for the line-by-line breakdown.
Can I edit my resume after downloading?
Yes. Your resume auto-saves to your account. Log in anytime to update and re-download — still free, still no watermark.

Auto-saves as you type. Export when you're done. That's the whole flow.
