Reactive Resume is a free resume builder. Write your resume in a browser, pick a template, export a PDF, and share a public URL when you want someone else to read it. Public resume URLs are meant for people you send them to, and they are not search-indexed by default.

What you can do for free

  • Create and manage resumes from the dashboard.
  • Edit resume content with a live preview in the builder.
  • Choose from the templates included with Reactive Resume.
  • Export your resume as a PDF.
  • Share a public resume URL with recruiters, hiring managers, or collaborators.

Start with Introduction for the product overview, or follow the Quickstart to create your first resume on rxresu.me.

Builder workflow

Reactive Resume sticks to the core resume workflow: add your profile, work history, education, skills, projects, and other sections, then adjust the layout and template before exporting.

Useful guides:

When to use this path

Use the hosted app when you want a resume quickly and do not want to run any infrastructure. It covers personal resume editing, template selection, PDF export, and sharing a public URL with people who need to read your resume.

When not to use this path

Do not rely on the hosted app alone if your organization requires a controlled deployment, custom auth, or specific data residency rules. Review Self-hosting with Docker instead. If an application requires a file upload, export a PDF rather than sending only a public URL.

Export and sharing options

Download a PDF for applications that need a file. You can also turn on a public resume URL when a link is more convenient than an attachment.

Public resume URLs are for the people you send the link to. For details, see Exporting your resume and Sharing your resume publicly.
