How it works

How to edit a resume in PDF

  1. Open the resume

    Drop the PDF on this page or choose it.

  2. Update the text

    Click a paragraph and type. Lines rewrap to the width of their block, and the blocks below move down when it grows.

  3. Download the resume

    The changes are saved as you go. Download the PDF with a Week Pass or Pro.

What you get

A resume that still looks designed

  • The design stays

    Text changes in the fonts embedded in the resume; nothing is redrawn or turned into a picture.

  • Swap the photo

    Replace the photo or add one as an image, then move and resize it.

  • Reword with AI

    Make a line shorter, simpler or more formal, or translate it, with a Week Pass or Pro.

  • Undo

    Each change is a step in the history and can be taken back.

FAQ

Questions and answers

Can I edit a resume exported from Word or a design app?

Usually yes: such a PDF keeps its text as text. Text that was turned into outlines or a picture cannot be changed, and the editor says so.

Will hiring systems read the new text?

The edited words stay real text in the PDF, so programs that read resumes see them.

Can I change the font?

Yes: keep the resume’s own font or pick one like Calibri, Arial, Times New Roman, Cambria or Georgia, at any size from 4 to 144 pt.

Is it free?

Editing the resume yourself is free and needs no account. Reword with AI, and downloading, printing or exporting the result, come with a Week Pass ($6 for 7 days, no auto-renewal) or Pro ($12 a month or $96 a year).
