Question 1

What is ResumeMD?

Accepted Answer

ResumeMD is a free online resume builder designed for the AI era. The problem: tools like ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini write great resumes — but they output plain Markdown text that looks terrible in a PDF. Traditional builders force you to re-type everything into drag-and-drop editors. ResumeMD solves this by letting you paste AI-generated Markdown directly, pick from 32 ATS-optimized templates, and export a polished PDF in under 60 seconds — no signup required. Your data stays in your browser by default, so nothing ever leaves your device. Pro users unlock cloud sync across devices, unlimited resumes, AI-powered job tailoring, cover letter generation, multi-format export (PDF, DOCX, HTML, TXT), version history, public portfolio pages, application tracking, and priority support.

Question 2

Do I need to create an account to use ResumeMD?

Accepted Answer

No! You can start using ResumeMD immediately without creating an account. Your resume is saved locally in your browser. You only need an account if you want cloud sync to access your resume on multiple devices.

Question 3

What's the difference between Free and Pro?

Accepted Answer

The Free plan gives you permanent access to all 32 templates, the live preview editor, PDF export, and basic analytics - all stored locally in your browser. Pro adds cloud sync across devices, unlimited resumes, all export formats (PDF, DOCX, HTML, TXT), AI-powered job tailoring, application tracking, and version history.

Question 4

Can I export my resume to Word/DOCX?

Accepted Answer

Yes! The Free plan includes PDF export, which is the industry standard for job applications and ATS systems. Pro users get access to all export formats including DOCX, HTML, and Plain Text for maximum flexibility.

Question 5

Is my resume data private and secure?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! By default, your resume is stored only in your browser's local storage and never leaves your device. If you opt for cloud sync with a Pro account, your data is encrypted and stored securely with industry-standard security practices.

Question 6

Is the Free plan really free forever?

Accepted Answer

Yes! The Free plan is completely free with no time limits. You get permanent access to all 32 templates, the markdown editor with live preview, PDF export, and basic analytics. Your data stays in your browser's local storage. Upgrade to Pro anytime for cloud sync and additional features.

Question 7

Can I cancel my Pro subscription anytime?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can cancel your Pro subscription at any time. When you cancel, you'll retain Pro access until the end of your billing period. After that, you'll automatically switch to the free local-only version.

Question 8

Does ResumeMD support Chinese, Arabic, or other non-English resumes?

Accepted Answer

Yes! ResumeMD has full multilingual support. Write your resume in Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, or any language — all characters render perfectly in PDF, DOCX, and HTML exports. Our language-aware analytics engine even provides readability scores, action verb suggestions, and recommendations in your resume's language. No special setup required — just start writing.
