Downloading & Formats

Export your optimized resume in multiple formats. Here are your options and when to use each.

β†’Available Formats

  • β€’PDF: Best for email applications and maintaining formatting
  • β€’DOCX: Required by some ATS systems and allows recruiter editing
  • β€’TXT: Plain text version for online application forms

β†’When to Use PDF

Use PDF when emailing directly to recruiters, uploading to your website, or when visual presentation matters. PDFs maintain exact formatting across all devices.

β†’When to Use DOCX

Some companies require editable formats. DOCX is also better for ATS parsing. Use when the application specifically requests Word format.

β†’Download Process

Click the download button, select your format, and the file will save to your downloads folder. The filename includes your name and the date.

β†’Multiple Versions

You can download the same resume in multiple formats. We recommend keeping both PDF and DOCX versions for different application scenarios.
