Markdown Resume
Fill in your experience, education, and skills, pick from 40 preset templates, and get a clean resume.md plus a formatted preview you can print straight to PDF.
Runs entirely in your browser — files never leave your device.
“Download as → PDF” opens your browser’s native print dialog against a hidden frame — choose “Save as PDF” (or “Microsoft Print to PDF”) as the destination. Nothing here is uploaded to a server.
How it works
- 01Click "Load example" to see a filled-in sample, or start typing your own name, title, and contact details.
- 02Add a role for each job (title, company, dates, one highlight per line) and a school for each degree.
- 03Click "Template" to pick one of 40 presets, grouped by layout (classic, sidebar, banner, timeline, compact) — the Preview tab updates instantly.
- 04Use the Preview / Markdown tabs to switch between the styled preview and the raw resume.md, then use "Download as" to get Markdown (.md), PDF (via the print dialog), or a styled HTML file.
Frequently asked questions
Why generate a resume in Markdown instead of a Word doc?
Markdown resumes are plain text, so they're easy to version-control, diff, paste into an ATS-friendly text box, or convert to other formats (PDF, Word, HTML) later using the site's other converters. Every one of the 40 templates renders from the same underlying Markdown, so switching styles never changes your content.
What happens if I leave a section blank?
It's left out of the generated Markdown entirely — you won't get an empty "## Education" heading with nothing under it.
How many templates are there, and are they ATS-friendly?
40 — 5 layouts (classic single-column, two-column sidebar, color banner header, timeline, and a tighter one-page compact) each in 8 accent colors. All of them use standard headings, lists, and a single reading order, which is what applicant tracking systems (ATS) parse best; avoid the two-column sidebar layout only if a specific employer's ATS is known to struggle with multi-column text.
How do I get a PDF?
Open "Download as" and pick "PDF" — it opens your browser's native print dialog against a hidden, formatted copy of your resume in your chosen template. Choose "Save as PDF" (or "Microsoft Print to PDF") as the destination. "Download as" → "HTML" saves the same formatted document, template CSS and fonts included, as a plain .html file instead.
Is any of this sent to a server?
No. The form fields are assembled into Markdown, and the print preview is rendered, entirely in your browser's JavaScript — nothing you type here is uploaded anywhere. The 40 templates' fonts and styling ship with the page itself.
Can I add more than one job or school?
Yes — click "Add role" or "Add school" to add as many entries as you need, and use the trash icon to remove one.
Can I keep editing the Markdown after generating it?
Yes — open the "Markdown" tab and click "Edit Markdown" to switch from the form to a direct text editor pre-filled with your generated resume.md; edits there drive the Preview tab, Copy, and Download as. Click "Back to form" to switch back — it regenerates the Markdown from your form fields and asks you to confirm first, since that discards any manual edits made while editing the Markdown.
