Frequently Asked Questions

▾
Is ParaFree CV builder really free?

Yes — completely free. No subscription, no credit card, no signup required. Download as many CVs as you need. There is no paid tier.

Does it add a watermark to my CV?

Never. Your downloaded PDF contains only your CV content. There is no "Created with ParaFree" branding or any other watermark.

How many templates are available?

50+ templates, all free. They include clean single-column layouts for ATS, two-column designs for visual impact, and styles optimised for specific industries including tech, creative, and academic roles.

Are the templates ATS-friendly?

Most are. Single-column templates like Classic, Minimal, Standard Plus and Academic are fully ATS-readable. Some premium multi-column designs are optimised for human readers rather than ATS parsers — use the Standard Plus template if you are applying through an online portal.

Can AI write my CV for free?

Yes. Paste the job description into the AI tab and it will write tailored bullet points, a professional summary, and a cover letter. The AI writing feature is included free — no upgrade required.

Can I build a cover letter too?

Yes. The Cover Letter tab is part of the same builder. It automatically matches your CV's template, colour scheme and font. Download a matching CV and cover letter set for free.

Does it work for Australian, UK and Canadian CV formats?

Yes. We have dedicated guides and template suggestions for Australian CVs, UK CVs, Canadian CVs, and US resumes including format conventions for each country.

Should I include a photo on my CV?

It depends on the country. In Australia, the UK and the US, photos are generally not recommended as they can introduce unconscious bias. In Germany, France and many other European countries, a professional photo is standard. ParaFree supports both — the photo upload is optional.

Does it work on mobile?

Yes. The mobile layout shows your live CV preview with swipeable template selection. Fill in your details, swipe to browse templates, and download your PDF directly from your phone.

Is there a word or page limit?

No. Add as many work experience entries, skills and education items as you need. The PDF renders the full content. Most professionals keep their CV to 1–2 pages — the AI writing feature helps you write concisely.
