How to Create and Download a Free CV with MojCV

What Is MojCV?

MojCV is a free online CV and resume builder. You fill in your details section by section, choose a template, and download a finished PDF. The builder also includes a cover letter builder for when you need a matching letter.

Three things set it apart from most CV builders:

• No account. You never create a profile, confirm an email, or choose a password. See how a CV builder with no registration works.
• No paywall at the end. You can download your finished PDF as many times as you want.
• One content, many templates. You enter your information once. Changing the template only changes how it looks, not what it says.

This guide walks through the whole process in the order you will see it: from the first screen to your downloaded PDF.

How MojCV Works in 6 Steps

How MojCV Works Without an Account: Your Private Link

Most CV builders ask you to register before you can save anything. MojCV replaces the account with a private link.

When you start your first CV, MojCV creates a private workspace for you. The workspace has its own address, and that address is your private link. The builder shows it in the side menu, labeled Private link, with a reminder to save it.

• It replaces a username and password. Anyone who has the link can open your workspace, so treat it like a password.
• Your browser remembers you. On the same browser, you can usually return to your CVs without the link.
• The link works on any device. To continue on your phone or another computer, open the private link there.

For more on this approach, see our page on the private resume builder.

Step 1: Enter Your Name and Choose a Language

Open the CV builder. The first screen asks for two things:

• Full name. This becomes the name on your CV.
• CV language. This sets the language of the section headings on your finished CV, such as "Work Experience" or "Education". MojCV supports 30+ CV languages. See the full list of supported languages.

Select the language that matches the job you are applying for, not necessarily the language you speak day to day. You write the content of each section yourself, so the language setting controls the headings and labels only.

When you continue, MojCV creates your CV and your private link. If you clicked "Use" on a template from the website, that template is already selected.

Step 2: Choose How to Start

New users choose how to begin:

• Start blank CV. You choose a template and build your CV from scratch. This gives you full control.
• Explore with finished CV. MojCV loads a pre-filled example CV so you can see how a complete CV looks in the builder. You then replace the example text with your own.

If you are not sure what to write, the second option is the faster way to learn the builder. You can also start from a profession-specific example. Browse the CV examples and use the example button on any page to load it into the builder.

Step 3: Pick a CV Template

The template screen shows every layout as a preview, with a name and a short description. Click one to select it. Layouts range from single-column and minimal designs to two-column, creative, academic, and healthcare-focused styles.

• You can change your mind later. The builder tells you that you can change your template at any time, and your content carries over.
• Templates are built to be read by ATS software. They use a clean structure that applicant tracking systems can parse.
• Some templates include a photo, others do not. Pick based on the norms in your country and industry.

To compare layouts before you start, browse the full CV template gallery.

Step 4: Fill In Your CV Sections

The builder shows one section at a time. The CV Sections menu on the left lists them all, so you can jump to any section. Click Save or Continue to store a section and move on. You do not have to complete them in order, and you can skip any section that does not apply to you.

Personal Details and Photo

The Personal section holds your name and job title. A profile photo is optional. If you add one, you can replace or remove it at any time. If you leave it out, the photo is simply omitted and your CV stays properly formatted, even in templates designed with a photo. Whether you include a photo depends on the country and industry. Our FAQ explains when to include a photo on your CV.

Work Experience and Other Repeating Sections

Work experience, education, skills, and similar sections hold multiple entries. Click Add Experience (or the matching button in that section) to add an entry, then Add Another Item for the next one. For a current job, choose Present as the end date. You can edit or delete any entry later.

Rename a Section Title

Most sections let you change their heading with Edit section title. Type your own title, or leave it empty to use the default. This is useful when a different label suits your field better.

Step 5: Preview and Adjust Your CV

When your sections are filled in, open the Preview & Download page. It shows your CV exactly as the PDF will look. From here you can make three kinds of changes without touching your content:

• Change Template. Switch to another layout and see your content in it immediately. You can do this as many times as you want.
• Reorder sections. Use the up and down arrows to move sections. Only sections that contain content are listed. Your name, contact details, and summary always stay at the top.
• Template settings. Change the template, the CV language, and how dates are displayed.

If something needs fixing, click Edit CV to return to the sections.

Step 6: Download Your CV as a PDF

Click Start Download on the Preview & Download page. MojCV generates your PDF, which takes a few seconds, and then the file downloads to your device.

• Free and unlimited. You can download the same CV as many times as you want.
• No watermark. The PDF is clean and ready to send. Read more about our no-watermark CV builder.
• Edit and download again. Update a section, change the template, and download a fresh copy whenever you need one.

Manage Your CVs in My Documents

Every CV you create is saved in your workspace under My Documents. Open your private link, or click My CVs in the builder, to see them. For each CV you can:

• Edit its sections or rename it.
• Download the latest PDF.
• Duplicate it under a new name. This is the easiest way to keep one CV per job type or language.
• Delete it when you no longer need it.
• Create a cover letter from it.

To make a new CV, click Create CV at the top of the page.

Add a Matching Cover Letter

MojCV includes a cover letter builder in the same workspace, so you do not need a second tool. From any CV you can create a cover letter in a few clicks. You can write it yourself or use the AI cover letter writer, which drafts a first version from your CV and the job description. Cover letters are stored under the Cover Letters tab in My Documents and download as PDFs the same way your CV does. For the full walkthrough, read our guide to creating a cover letter with MojCV.

To start one directly, use the cover letter builder.

Create Your CV on a Phone

The builder works in a mobile browser, so you can complete every step above on your phone. Save your private link so you can open the same workspace on a computer later. Read more on the mobile CV builder page.
