Open Resume & CV BuilderStep-by-step instructions
- Enter your name, headline and contact details, or import a saved Helphonic project JSON.
- Edit section titles and text; add, remove and move sections up or down.
- Choose Modern, Classic or Compact and review the preview.
- Export a PDF or an editable project, or both; download before leaving.
Templates and PDF output
All templates use a single-column layout. Modern adds a restrained accent, Classic uses a serif font and Compact uses tighter spacing. Long content flows onto additional A4 pages with a name and page-number footer.
Selectable-text PDF is the default, using standard Western fonts with text in section order for extraction. Characters outside those fonts are rejected with guidance to choose page images. The page-image option supports device fonts and local scripts, but its text is not selectable and may be unsuitable for applicant tracking systems. Review the final PDF.
Editable projects and privacy
Project JSON stores your name, headline, contact details, template, PDF mode and section order as unencrypted text. Import accepts only the supported Helphonic version-1 format and validates all field lengths and sections.
No profile, resume, contact information or project is automatically saved or sent to an account. Download an editable project to continue later. The preview is for content and styling; the exported PDF provides final pagination.
Processing and privacy
Files and entered content are processed on your device in this browser tab. File contents and results are not uploaded to Helphonic or sent to analytics. The page still contacts Helphonic to load its tools, check access and confirm non-content usage information. Work is not saved to your account; download or copy results before leaving or reloading the page.
Access and current limits
Check the tool page for current access, remaining usage and per-operation limits. File count, per-file size, total size and page limits can depend on your access and can change. Device and processor safety limits still apply when usage is unlimited. A paid pass does not necessarily increase every processing limit.
One successful export counts as one operation. Previewing and editing do not use an operation. Daily allowances reset at 00:00 UTC. Downloads of an already-created result do not count again.
If an operation cannot finish
Use a current browser and smaller inputs if the tab runs out of memory. Some tools download a local processing library or model on first use, so an internet connection is needed even though your content stays on the device.
If the tool reports that access or limits changed, review the current policy and run it again. If usage confirmation is uncertain after an interrupted connection, a retry can count as another operation. Download completed work before reloading; this site does not keep a recovery copy.
Check the current limits
Allowances and per-operation limits can change. The Resume & CV Builder page shows the policy that applies to you. Per-operation safety limits still apply when usage is unlimited. See access passes if a tool or extra usage requires paid access.
