How it works
-
Start from what you have
Upload your CV as Word or PDF, even your LinkedIn profile PDF, or paste text written with an AI: the fields fill themselves and we point out what to double-check. Or start from scratch.
-
Choose how you look
Five templates, including the European format, eight colours or any you like, round, square or no photo. Your CV in English or Italian.
-
Download and apply
The PDF is ready to send, the Word file is there whenever you want to tweak it. The Essential template is the easiest for applicant tracking systems to read. Your cover letter gets the same look.
How much does it cost?
Nothing. No subscription, no watermark on your document, no limit on how many CVs you download.
Tipping is optional: if we saved you some time, buy us an espresso. It helps keep CV Espresso free.

Frequently asked questions
Is it really free?
Yes. Make and download as many CVs as you like, with no hidden costs. If it helped you, you can buy us a coffee, but you don’t have to.
Where does my data go?
It stays in your browser, on this device. We can’t see it and we don’t keep it. If you switch computers, open “My CVs”, save the backup file and open it on the other computer: all your CVs come with you.
Can I import the CV I already have?
Yes, from Word (.docx) or from a PDF with selectable text, including your LinkedIn profile PDF. After the import we point out the fields to double-check. Scanned PDFs, which are pictures of pages, can’t be read.
Can I use ChatGPT or another AI?
Yes: ask the AI to write or improve the text, then paste it in the “Import” tab and we lay it out for you. You’ll find a ready-made prompt to copy there too. Always double-check what the AI writes, and remember that whatever you paste into a chat goes to that service, not to CV Espresso.
Does the PDF work with applicant tracking systems?
Yes: the text stays text, it doesn’t become an image. The Essential template, in a single column, is the one automated screening systems read best.
