FAQ.
Is ResumeForge really free?
Yes. Building, the live preview, every template, and a plain-text (.txt) download are 100% free with no account required. You only pay once when you want a polished PDF or Word file — a single one-time unlock, never a sneaky rebill.
Will my resume pass ATS (applicant tracking systems)?
Our default "ATS Classic" template is single-column with standard headings and real selectable text — exactly what parsers expect. The Word (.docx) export is the most ATS-safe format. We never use image-based PDFs, which break ATS.
Can I edit a resume example?
Every example page has an "Edit this example" button that opens the builder pre-filled with that role's content, so you can swap in your details and download in minutes.
