Our Mission

To remove every barrier between a job seeker and their dream role — starting with giving everyone access to the tools that were previously locked behind expensive subscriptions. A great resume shouldn't cost money to create.

What We Stand For

The principles that guide every decision we make.

Free, Forever

The free plan includes three templates, unlimited resumes and PDF export. Optional paid plans provide premium templates and additional AI credits.

Privacy First

The browser editor saves documents locally. Optional AI requests send relevant text for processing; review the privacy page and keep your own downloaded copies.

ATS Optimized

Use readable layouts and standard headings, then verify the text in your exported PDF. Employers use different systems; no template or score guarantees an interview.

Built for Everyone

Whether you're a fresh graduate, career switcher, senior executive, or creative professional, One Simple Resume has templates and tools tailored to your journey.

The Story Behind One Simple Resume

One Simple Resume started as a personal project after spending hours trying to create a clean, ATS-friendly resume using free tools — only to find that every decent option either cost money, required an account, or uploaded personal data to servers we didn't trust.

We built One Simple Resume to solve exactly that problem. Everything runs in your browser. Editing and PDF export have a free plan. Premium templates and additional AI credits are optional paid features. Just a powerful resume builder that works.

Use the public guides to prepare your content, compare layouts and check your exported document. The tools provide writing assistance and illustrative checks; hiring decisions remain with employers.

We're committed to keeping One Simple Resume free. We're just getting started.
