A resume that gets read

Four templates

Classic, Modern, Compact and Fresher, in six colours. Switch at any time without losing what you typed; the preview is the exact PDF you download.

Made for ATS

Real, selectable text in a clear order, so the applicant tracking systems used by Naukri, LinkedIn and company career sites can read every line.

Private and saved

Everything happens in your browser. Your draft is kept on this device as you type, and a backup file lets you carry on from another phone or computer.

How to make a resume

  1. Choose a template

    Classic suits any job; Fresher puts education and projects first. You can change it later.

  2. Fill in your details

    Name and contact, a short summary, work experience, education and skills. Hide any section you don’t need.

  3. Order and polish

    Move sections up or down, pick a colour and text size, and check the live preview fits on one or two pages.

  4. Download the PDF

    Save it with your name in the file name, ready to upload or email. Save a backup file to edit it again later.

Questions

Is this resume builder really free?

Yes. All four templates, every colour and the PDF download are free, with no sign-up and no watermark.

Which resume format is best?

For most jobs, a reverse-chronological resume: your latest job first, then earlier ones, then education. The Classic template is the safest choice for government, banking and large companies; Modern looks fresher for private and IT jobs; Compact fits a long career on fewer pages.

Are these templates ATS-friendly?

Yes. The PDF contains real text (not an image) in a plain reading order, with standard headings like Work experience, Education and Skills, so applicant tracking systems used by job portals and company career sites can read it. The Classic and Compact templates are a single column, which every ATS handles well.

How long should a resume be?

One page for freshers and people with under five years of experience; two pages at most for longer careers. The preview shows how many pages yours runs to. If it spills over, try the Compact template, a smaller text size, or fewer points per job.

Should I add a photo to my resume?

In India many employers, and most government and teaching jobs, are used to a photo, so it’s up to you. Multinational companies and employers in the US, UK and Canada usually prefer no photo. The photo is optional here and is cropped to passport shape.

What is the difference between a CV and a resume?

In India the words are used for the same thing: a one- or two-page summary of your education, skills and work. Strictly, a CV is a longer academic record (publications, research, conferences). This builder makes the short version, which is what almost all job applications ask for.

Is my resume uploaded or stored anywhere?

No. The PDF is made in your browser and nothing you type is sent to Growny. Your draft is saved only in this browser so you can come back to it; save a backup file to move it to another device, and use ‘Start over’ to clear it.
