Create your CV for free, no account
Build your CV online for free: fill in your details, pick a template and watch your CV take shape. No account, no subscription, no surprises. You only pay a one-time €2 when you want to download the finished PDF.
Genuinely free, not 'free' with a catch
Many CV makers promise 'free', but only let you pay the moment you want to download, often through a trial subscription that renews automatically. At CVontwerper, free really means free: you build and edit your entire CV at no cost, with a live A4 preview. Want to download it as a PDF? That's a one-time €2. No account, no monthly fees, no automatic renewal.
What can you do for free?
Everything except the download. And that's a one-time €2, no subscription.

Frequently asked questions about creating a CV for free
Is it really free?▾
Yes. Building your CV, editing it, trying templates and viewing the live preview are completely free. Only the PDF download costs a one-time €2. There's no subscription attached.
Do I have to create an account?▾
No. You can start right away without registering or logging in. Your CV data is stored locally in your own browser, not on our servers.
Is there a subscription?▾
No. You pay a one-time €2 per download. No monthly fees, no automatic renewal, nothing to cancel later.
Why does downloading cost €2 and not nothing?▾
That €2 keeps the site running without ads, without selling your data and without an expensive subscription. Fair and transparent: you pay once, for one CV.
Does my CV stay private?▾
Yes. Your data stays local in your browser. We don't store the contents of your CV and don't sell anything to third parties.
Can I use my existing CV?▾
Yes. Upload your current CV as a PDF or Word file and we read your details automatically, so you only need to update them.
