Do I need an AI API key? ▾
No. The CV builder works perfectly without any API key. AI suggestions are fully optional — there's a small "✦ AI" button on each text field you can click if you want help. You can bring your own Claude (Anthropic) or ChatGPT (OpenAI) key.
Are CVs ATS-friendly? ▾
Yes. All 12 templates are ATS-tested and pass automated screening. FreeAICVMaker also shows a live ATS score as you build — you can see your score update in real-time and know exactly what to improve before applying.
Can I add my photo? ▾
Yes. Upload your professional photo from the Personal Info section in the builder. It auto-crops to fit the template beautifully. Photos are stored locally in your browser and never uploaded to any server.
What AI providers does FreeAICVMaker support? ▾
You can use Claude (Anthropic) or ChatGPT (OpenAI). Add your API key in the settings — both work with all AI features including the CV suggestion buttons, Cover Letter Studio, Interview Coach, and Salary Coach.
Is my data private? ▾
Your CV data is stored in your browser's local storage. It never leaves your device unless you send it to the AI API (which goes directly from your browser to the AI provider — we never see it). No tracking, no data selling.
