Free CV Builder UK – Create Professional CVs Online
Free CV builder UK for job seekers. Create a professional CV that stands out, updates in real-time, and can be shared as a simple link. Track job applications and generate AI cover letters—all free.
Getting Started
Creating your professional CV takes just minutes. No downloads, no software installation—everything works right in your browser on any device.
Click "Register" on our homepage and enter your name, email, and password. We'll send a verification link to activate your account. Start free, or try any paid plan with a 7-day free trial—1 week, 1 month, or 3 months. Cancel anytime. No pressure.
Building Your Professional Profile
Start with your personal information: name (required), email, phone, location, and optionally your LinkedIn profile and professional photo. We keep it simple—only your name is required. Everything else is optional, though we've found that complete profiles make stronger impressions on employers.
Next, build out your CV sections: work experience, education, projects, skills, certifications, professional memberships, and interests. Work in any order and edit anytime—your CV grows with your career.
Why Choose Simple CV Builder?
A Living, Breathing CV
Your CV isn't a static document—it's a dynamic webpage you can share with a simple link. Update your job title or add a certification once, and everyone with your link sees the latest version instantly. No more sending updated PDFs or wondering which version employers are viewing.
Your CV link (/cv/@your-username) always shows current information. But we haven't forgotten traditional PDFs—download print-ready versions whenever you need them, complete with a QR code linking back to your online CV.
More Than Just a CV Builder
We're a complete career management platform. Every account includes an integrated job application tracker. Save job listings in one click from any job board or company site—then fill in the details later. Manage your entire job search from one place: track applications, set priorities and closing-date reminders, monitor progress, and attach documents. See at a glance which applications are pending, interviewing, or resulted in offers.
This integration is seamless. Your CV and job applications live together, making your search more organised and less stressful. And it's included with every account, even the free one.
Flexibility That Adapts to You
Tailor your CV for different opportunities. With paid plans, drag-and-drop to reorder work experience, select which sections to include in PDFs, and choose from professional templates with customisable colours. Your CV evolves with your needs—add entries as you gain experience, reorganise as your focus shifts, and adjust presentation for your industry.
What to Expect
Comprehensive CV Sections
Build a complete professional profile with these sections:
Personal Profile — Contact information, professional photo, LinkedIn, bio, and tagline
Professional Summary — Overview of your background, key strengths, and specialisations
Work Experience — Unlimited positions with job titles, companies, dates, descriptions, and categorised responsibilities (much more readable than long bullet lists)
Additional Sections — Education, projects with images and links, categorised skills, certifications, professional qualifications, memberships, and interests
You're not locked into a rigid template. Include as much or little detail as you want, and adjust anytime.
Real-Time Updates and Instant Sharing
Changes appear instantly on your online CV. Add an achievement before tomorrow's interview, and your CV link automatically shows it—no new PDF needed. Your unique, memorable link works on any device and displays your most current information.
Share your link via email, LinkedIn, social media, email signature, or business cards. This convenience saves countless hours during your job search.
Professional PDF Downloads
Generate professional, print-ready PDFs that are ATS-friendly (Applicant Tracking System compatible). All plans include PDF export. Pro plans add multiple templates with customisable colours, a QR code in the PDF linking to your online CV, and the ability to choose which sections to include—create different versions for different opportunities while maintaining one master CV online.
Job Application Tracking
Your Complete Job Search Command Centre
Track every application from one dashboard. Record company names, job titles, application dates, and status—from "Interested" through "Applied," "Interviewing," to "Offered" or "Accepted." Add notes about conversations, set follow-up reminders, attach your CV and cover letters, and track salary ranges and locations.
Everything is organised and searchable. View statistics about your job search: applications submitted, success rates, and process stages. No more scrambling to find application details or remember which jobs you've applied to.
It's all integrated with your CV. Access, share, or update your CV while tracking applications—no switching between tools. From any job (in the content editor under Manage Jobs), you can click Generate AI CV for this job to create a tailored CV in one click, or Tailor CV for this job… to choose which sections to tailor. Variants are linked to the job so you always know which CV was used for which application.
This integration is included with every account, even the free one.
