# CVAurum > CVAurum is a free, open-source (MIT) résumé builder that runs entirely in your browser: no account, no server, no tracking; 58 templates, a built-in deterministic ATS check, PDF import with on-device OCR, and vector PDF, Word and JSON Resume export, working offline as an installable app. CVAurum, at https://cvaurum.com, is a résumé builder published as a static web app: the editor, the fonts, the PDF engine, the ATS checks and the storage all run in the visitor's browser. There is no backend, no account, no paid tier and no watermark. The source is public under the MIT licence at https://github.com/akhil-dara/cvaurum. ## Facts at a glance - Price: free, with no tiers, no export paywall and no watermark - Account: none; there is nothing to sign up for and no login - Where the data lives: the browser's own storage (IndexedDB); nothing is uploaded, and the site's content-security policy allows no outbound request at all - Templates: 58, each on its own page, six of them Signature designs with distinct page structures; every one exports real selectable text - Export: vector PDF (PDF/A-2B archival and PDF/UA-1 accessible, verified with veraPDF, about 50 KB), Word (.docx) and JSON Resume; a full backup file of every résumé - ATS: a deterministic score, a job-description keyword match, a parser’s-eye text view, a simulation of five applicant-tracking systems, a rule-based writing coach and a recruiter skim heatmap; optional on-device semantic matching - Import: PDF (text-based, or scanned with on-device OCR) and JSON Resume - Editing: on the page or in a form panel, in sync; per-section styles; 45 bundled fonts; A4 or US Letter; undo and redo; autosave; a command palette (Ctrl+K); six example résumés to start from - Scripts: Latin with accents, Cyrillic, Greek and Vietnamese, on the page and in every export; a font that lacks a script falls back to a bundled one of the same kind - Offline: installs as a web app and works with no connection, export included; all fonts are bundled, so no third-party server is ever contacted - Sharing: an encrypted link (AES-256-GCM, key derived from a passphrase) or an exported file - Platform: any modern browser on desktop, tablet or phone; JavaScript is required to edit (the public pages carry their content in plain HTML) - Licence and source: MIT; the whole application is public at https://github.com/akhil-dara/cvaurum ## What it does not do - It has no server, so there is no cloud sync and no account: a résumé lives in the browser it was made in, and moves to another device by a backup file, a JSON Resume file or an encrypted link. - It does not write résumés for you: the writing coach is rule-based feedback on what you wrote, not generated text. - PDF import is a reconstruction of an existing file and is meant to be reviewed; unusual layouts and scanned pages can need corrections. - It does not send applications, track email or connect to job boards; the tracker is a board you keep yourself. - Editing needs JavaScript; without it a visitor gets the public pages and their content, not the editor. ## Who it is for - Anyone who wants a résumé that looks designed without giving their career history to a server. - Students and recent graduates: a final-year example with internships and a graduate example are among the six starting points. - Engineers, marketers and designers: the other four examples, and templates from technical to editorial. - People applying through applicant-tracking systems: the ATS view, the five-system simulation and the keyword match exist for them. - People who need an archival or accessible PDF: every export conforms to PDF/A-2B and PDF/UA-1. - Developers: open source under MIT, one Node build, no backend to run; self-host it or fork it. ## Pages - [Home](https://cvaurum.com/): what CVAurum is, how it compares with other résumé builders, the three steps, privacy, questions and answers. - [Template gallery](https://cvaurum.com/templates): all 58 designs rendered on the same example résumé, searchable and filterable by tag; each design has its own page. - [The app](https://cvaurum.com/app): the résumé dashboard and the editor. Nothing to sign up for; the page is private to the visitor's browser and not indexed. - [Questions and answers](https://cvaurum.com/#faq): privacy, the ATS check, file formats, archival PDF, phones, résumé length. ## Signature designs Six single-column designs whose structure is different, not only their colours. The structures they introduce are editable (Atlas's numbers band, Chronicle's year rail): - [Broadsheet](https://cvaurum.com/templates/broadsheet): A front page: the name set huge in a display serif across the full width, a byline of contacts between double rules, and numbered running heads down one column. - [Marquee](https://cvaurum.com/templates/marquee): A poster: the name fills a colour block in tall condensed capitals, the body runs in one column beneath, and skills and languages live in a dark strip along the foot of the page. - [Atlas](https://cvaurum.com/templates/atlas): A dashboard: a navy-to-teal band carries the name, and beneath it a numbers band of figures the app reads out of the content itself (years, companies, projects, a headline figure), each tile editable. - [Chronicle](https://cvaurum.com/templates/chronicle): A ledger: every entry hands its opening year to a tinted rail down the left, set in tall condensed numerals, while the entry keeps its own dates in a plain column beside them; any entry can set its own year and word. - [Folio Noir](https://cvaurum.com/templates/folio-noir): A gallery wall: gold on near-black, a band of art behind the name, a hairline running out of every heading, and each entry’s dates and places set in a narrow margin down the right. - [Terrace](https://cvaurum.com/templates/terrace): Three steps of green carry the name, the role and the contacts across the top, and beneath them every section title sits in a column of its own, beside the words it labels. ## Every template 58 designs, every one exporting real selectable text, each on its own page: - [Broadsheet](https://cvaurum.com/templates/broadsheet): A front page: the name set huge in a display serif across the whole width, a byline of contacts between double rules, and numbered running heads down one clean column.
