Popular resume templates
These templates are opened most often by Advoke CV visitors who start from a blank resume. Each one ships with sensible defaults for spacing, typography, and section order.
Meridian — professional single-column
A classic, high-readability single-column layout with generous spacing. Ideal for corporate, finance, and administrative roles where clarity beats decoration.
Lumen — modern two-column
Left sidebar for skills and languages, right column for experience. Balanced whitespace and strong heading hierarchy without clutter.
Alto — ATS-focused
Single column, standard section names, no tables, no graphics. Built specifically to survive automated parsing in applicant tracking systems.
Vega — creative header
A wide header band with optional profile photo, followed by a compact single column. Good for design, marketing, and media roles that benefit from personality.
Quartz — executive
Understated typography and strong achievements block. Designed to highlight quantified impact for senior and C-level positions.

How it works
From blank page to finished PDF in four steps
Advoke CV is deliberately simple. No accounts, no confirmation emails, no paywall at the download step.
Choose a template
Filter 1,000+ original designs by category, layout, career stage, and colour. Preview each one before you commit.
Fill in your details
Enter personal details, work experience, education, skills, projects, and any custom sections. Add, remove, or reorder anything.
Customise the design
Adjust fonts, colour accents, spacing, margins, and single- vs two-column layout. Everything updates in a live A4 or Letter preview.
Export and apply
Download a selectable-text PDF, a plain-text version, or a JSON backup of your resume. Submit it to any job application.
Editor features
Everything you need, nothing you don’t
The editor is a real browser application, not a screenshot. Every control below works on mobile and desktop.
Live A4 and Letter preview
See exactly what your resume will look like on the page. Switch between A4 and US Letter at any time.
Add, reorder, and toggle sections
Turn any section on or off, drag to reorder, and create custom sections for anything unique to your career.
Rich text formatting
Bold, italic, and underline within summary and description fields, with safe sanitisation on every render.
Full design controls
Fonts, font sizes, accent colours, spacing, margins, and one- or two-column layouts. All changes are live.
Selectable-text PDF
Exports a real PDF where text stays selectable, searchable, and ATS-parsable. Multi-page handling included.
Privacy by architecture
Drafts live in your browser. No backend, no analytics that receive resume content, no account, no email collection.
JSON import and export
Back up an entire resume as a small JSON file and restore it on any device that runs a modern browser.
Undo, redo, and autosave
A bounded undo/redo history plus debounced autosave means nothing is lost between edits on the same device.
Photo, colour, and layout modes
Add an optional photo, pick a colour palette, and switch between single-column and two-column layouts without losing content.

Frequently asked questions
Answers about Advoke CV
Honest answers about how the platform works, what it can and cannot do, and how your data is handled.
Is Advoke CV really free to use?
Yes. Advoke CV is a fully static website. All resume building, editing, previewing, and PDF export happen directly in your browser. There is no subscription, no credit card, no account creation, and no paywall for templates or exports.
Do I need to create an account or sign up?
No. Advoke CV does not have user accounts. You can start editing immediately. Drafts are saved in your browser’s local storage or IndexedDB, so they remain on your own device and are never transmitted to any server.
Where is my resume data stored?
Every piece of resume content you enter stays in your browser. Drafts are stored via IndexedDB with a localStorage fallback. Advoke CV does not have a backend, does not transmit resume content to any external service, and does not include third-party analytics that receive personal data.
Can I lose my saved drafts?
Yes, browser-local data can be lost if you clear site data, use private or incognito mode, uninstall the browser, or if the browser evicts storage under pressure. For safety, export your resume as JSON periodically and keep the file somewhere you control.
Does the exported PDF have selectable text?
Yes. Advoke CV uses the open-source pdf-lib library along with font embedding to generate PDFs whose text remains selectable, searchable, and copyable. This is important for ATS (Applicant Tracking System) parsing.
Are the resume templates ATS-friendly?
Advoke CV includes a dedicated ATS category with single-column, standard-heading, no-table, no-graphic layouts designed for reliable parsing by common applicant tracking systems. Not every template in other categories is optimised for ATS, so we clearly label which ones are.
Can I use my own photo in the resume?
Yes. You can upload a JPEG, PNG, or WebP photo, crop it inside the editor, and place it in supported templates. The photo is processed entirely in your browser and is stored as part of your local draft.
Which paper sizes are supported?
Advoke CV supports A4 (210mm × 297mm), which is standard in most countries, and US Letter (8.5in × 11in) for the United States and Canada. You can switch between them at any time in the editor.
Can I import a resume I already have?
You can import a JSON file previously exported from Advoke CV. That JSON format contains every field, section, and design setting. Advoke CV does not import proprietary DOCX, PDF, or third-party formats because reliable, non-lossy extraction cannot be guaranteed in a fully static environment.
Does Advoke CV support right-to-left languages?
The interface and templates support left-to-right text well. Right-to-left support is limited to correct Unicode rendering in text fields; full mirrored layouts are not provided in version 1.0.
Can I use Advoke CV offline?
Yes, partially. Once the site and its assets are loaded and cached by your browser, the editor and preview continue to work offline. PDF export also works offline because it uses bundled client-side libraries. Only the very first page load requires a network connection.
How many resume templates are available?
Advoke CV ships with over 1,000 distinct template configurations across more than 30 career categories, including professional, creative, executive, technical, healthcare, education, finance, and student groups. Each template has a unique design configuration rather than a title-only variation.
Does Advoke CV guarantee that my resume will pass an ATS?
No tool can guarantee ATS outcomes. Advoke CV provides ATS-friendly layouts, selectable-text PDFs, standard heading conventions, and guidance, but actual results depend on the specific system, the job description, and other factors outside our control.
What browsers are supported?
Advoke CV targets modern evergreen browsers: recent versions of Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Safari, Samsung Internet, and Opera on desktop and mobile, including Android Chrome. Internet Explorer is not supported.
Is my personal data sold or shared?
No. Advoke CV has no backend and no tracking that receives resume content. Because the platform is fully static, there is no server that could sell or share your data even if it wanted to.
Can I delete all my local Advoke CV data?
Yes. The editor includes a Clear Local Data option that requires an explicit confirmation before deleting all drafts and settings from your browser. You can also clear site data through your browser settings at any time.
Is Advoke CV open source?
The Advoke CV website is deployed publicly on Cloudflare Pages, and the project documentation, folder structure, and licensing notes are available in the repository. Third-party dependencies such as pdf-lib and fontkit are used under their respective open-source licenses and are recorded in the LICENSES file.
