Free Resume Builder — ATS-Friendly Templates, Ready in Minutes
Build a professional resume that actually gets past Applicant Tracking Systems. 12 recruiter-approved templates, live preview while you edit, and one-click export to PDF or Microsoft Word. No account required — your data stays in your browser.
Average time to first draft: 12 minutes
Built for the way real job applications work
Most resume builders optimize for looking impressive in a screenshot. VitaeKit optimizes for getting you the interview.
ATS-parsable by default
Every template uses single-column content flow, standard section headings (Experience, Education, Skills), and embedded text in PDFs — the three things ATS parsers need to read your resume correctly.
Live preview while you type
See your resume update in real time as you edit. Drag sections to reorder them. Swap templates instantly without losing a single word of your content.
One-click PDF & Word export
Download a pixel-perfect PDF — the format most ATS parsers handle best — or a .docx file when recruiters ask for an editable Word version. Both files are generated in your browser.
Your draft stays where you want it
Resumes are saved to your browser's localStorage while you're editing, so closing the tab doesn't lose work. A free account adds cross-device cloud sync and lets you keep multiple resumes side-by-side.
Custom sections for anything
Add sections for languages, volunteering, publications, certifications, awards, interests, and references. Drag to reorder the whole resume until it tells your story in the right order.
ATS keyword hints
As you write, our ATS suggestions highlight when a section is thin, a date range is missing, or your summary could use a stronger keyword. Ship a stronger draft on the first try.

Read the full guide →Why this matters
The hardest part of the job hunt isn’t the interview
Most candidates spend weeks preparing for interviews they’ll never get. The hardest part of a 2026 job hunt is the step before the interview — securing the callback. Public-domain career-data puts typical callback rates at 3-10% of applications submitted; for the rest, the resume is the silent gatekeeper.
Interview prep is well-paved territory. Mock interviews, STAR frameworks, coding-pattern drills — all known and practiceable. The resume is the harder problem because it’s static, binary, and most candidates have no feedback loop on why theirs isn’t getting through. We built VitaeKit to fix that — ATS-tested templates, quantified-bullet patterns, free scanner that scores your draft against the actual job description.
An honest hour spent on your resume beats a week of mock interviews you’ll never get to deliver.
