What is Reactive Resume?

Reactive Resume is a free, open-source resume builder that keeps your data private. Pick from a range of templates, edit sections in real time, customise fonts, colours and layout, and export a clean PDF, either on the hosted site or on your own server.

Third-party open-source projects. We are not affiliated with their authors; repositories are provided as-is by their maintainers. Review each project's license, code and security before installing. See our Disclaimer.

Pros: what Reactive Resume does well

  • Many clean templates
  • No ads or paywalled exports
  • Free and open source

Cons: where it falls short

  • Fewer design options than a full design tool
  • Self-hosting needs some setup

Who Reactive Resume is for
