Frequently asked questions
What makes a resume template “premium”?
Premium Resumap templates feature carefully paired typography, refined accent palettes (curated gold and dark-sidebar variants), and layouts designed specifically for senior professionals with longer career histories. The aesthetic differences are intentional — premium templates are built for roles where presentation signals seniority alongside competence.
Are premium templates ATS-friendly?
Yes. Every Resumap template — free and premium — is built to ATS conventions: main-column → sidebar DOM order, standard section labels, no text inside images, no parser-breaking tables. The visual complexity lives in typography and colour, not in elements that confuse applicant tracking systems.
Do I need a subscription to use premium templates?
No. Premium templates are unlocked per template with a one-time 400-credit purchase. That single payment unlocks both the template and its PDF export forever — no monthly fee, no auto-renewal. Credits never expire.
Can I preview my resume in a premium template before unlocking?
Not with your own content — premium templates appear as locked cards in your export gallery, showing the same thumbnail you see on this page rather than a render of your CV. What you can do: build your resume in any free template first, then unlock a premium one when ready. Your CV data is stored independently of the template, so once you unlock everything snaps into the new design instantly — no re-typing.
What's actually different between free and premium templates?
Free templates cover the full range of professional needs and are genuinely export-ready — clean layouts, ATS-tested, watermark-free PDF download. Premium templates add curated typography pairings, custom accent palettes (gold, dark sidebar, monochrome editorial), and layouts tuned for senior and executive career histories. If you have 10+ years of experience or are applying for leadership roles, premium templates present that depth more confidently.
Which premium template is best for an executive resume?
Boardroom (dark navy sidebar, fixed gold accents, photo-ready) reads as C-level and senior corporate without effort. Chronicle (single-column, serif, monochrome) suits long-form career narratives and academic-leaning leadership profiles. Portrait Premium works when a photo is expected — EU, India, or senior creative roles.
Do all premium templates support a photo?
6 of 13 do. The photo-less ones — Chronicle, Vellum, Bloom, Lumen, Syntax, Offset, and Modern Professional — are editorial, soft-modern, code-forward, art-directed, or traditional layouts where a headshot isn't part of the design. The other six (Premium, Portrait Premium, Boardroom, Atelier, Linen, Prism) support professional headshots, which is standard practice in EU, India, and senior creative applications.
