maniacv makes it easy to write and edit your resume. Here's how it works:

1. Choose a template

by job seekers everywhere

People use maniacv to get the boring part over with quickly, so they can spend their evening on the application itself.

I absolutely love this. It has made a huge difference to my career and to a few of my friends'. Editing and customizing is genuinely easy.

Siobhan K.

Operations Lead

Completely free, no watermark, and the export is clean. The format looks sharp and reads clearly — that's all I wanted.

Isabel R.

Data Analyst

I tried it on a Sunday evening and had a polished, modern CV in about ten minutes. The AI suggestions actually sounded like me.

Vaibhavi R.

Marketing Manager

Used it for two resumes now. Super neat, the customization options are the right amount, and it just works.

Abhinav C.

Software Engineer

Every feature I needed and nothing I didn't. Easily the builder I'd recommend to anyone applying for jobs right now.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need an account to use maniacv?

No. You can build one resume, preview it live and download the PDF without signing in — it's kept in your browser. Sign in when you want more than one, or when you want it saved to your account rather than to this device.

What happens to my resume if I sign in later?

It comes with you. The resume you built as a guest is saved to your account the moment you sign in, and the local copy is only cleared once that has succeeded.

Can I import a resume I already have?

Yes. Upload a PDF, an image or a text file and our AI reads it into the editor — your details, roles, bullet points, education and skills. Word documents aren't supported yet; export to PDF first.

Is there a free plan?

Building, previewing and exporting a resume is free. An account removes the one-resume limit and unlocks the AI writing tools.

What do the AI tools actually do?

Our AI handles four things: writing help while you type, a review of the finished page, reading an existing resume you upload, and translation.

Will the AI invent things about me?

It's instructed not to, and the tools are built around that constraint. The writing tools work only from what's already on your resume — they sharpen wording rather than supply facts, and where a stronger line would need a number you haven't given, they write it without one. Read every suggestion before you keep it.

Does my resume get used to train an AI model?

No. Your resume is sent to our AI only to produce the response you asked for, and is never used to train a model.

Why do the AI tools need an account?

Each use costs us something to run. Tying that to an account is what keeps it available rather than rate-limited into uselessness.
