How do I change the template, colour and font?
The bar at the bottom of the editor has Template, Colour, Font and Layout. All 24 templates are available to everyone, and switching between them keeps everything you have written.
The four template groups
| Group | What it is | Designs |
|---|---|---|
| Simple | Single column, safest for applicant tracking systems | 12 |
| Two Column | More content per page, still reads linearly | 6 |
| Sidebar | Filled side panel for contact and skills | 3 |
| Bold | Strong colour and header treatments | 3 |
Change the look
- Open Template
Each design is a real preview of your own resume, so you see your content in it before choosing. The one you are on is marked current.
- Pick a colour
Open Colour for the ready made combinations, or set your own accent.
- Set the type
Open Font to choose the typeface and a size of Small, Medium or Large.
- Adjust the layout
Line spacing, page margin, gap between sections, A4 or Letter paper, and whether section titles are in capitals.

Are any templates paid?
No. Every template, colour and font is available to everyone. The paid step is downloading the PDF.
Will switching lose my content?
No. Your content is separate from the design, so it moves across untouched.
Why is my template panel slow to open?
Each thumbnail renders a full page of your resume. They load as you scroll, so give the row a moment.
Can I set my own exact colour?
Yes, the colour panel has a custom option alongside the ready made combinations.
