Jake's Resume Builder
Free online resume editor with no LaTeX, exporting to PDF, Word, and JSON
About Jake's Resume Builder
Jake's Resume Builder is a standalone online resume editor built on Jake Gutierrez's MIT-licensed template, so you can edit a resume in the browser without writing LaTeX by hand. Basic editing and PDF, LaTeX, Word, and JSON export are free with no account; once you submit text and agree, you get AI job matching and bullet rewrite suggestions, billed by credits. Resume content and compilation run on your device by default, and you can hand the source code to Overleaf. This tool is not an official product of Jake Gutierrez or Overleaf, and the paid side comes as one-time credit packs or a monthly subscription.
