Most resume builders let you build for free, then charge you to download. Others harvest your data. Some do both. We thought that was a lousy deal for people who are already stressed about finding a job.
StellaCV is a resume builder that's actually free. No sign-up wall, no watermarks on your PDF, no surprise paywall at the download button. Your resume data stays in your browser, not on our servers.
You can build a resume, use AI suggestions, check your ATS score, and download a clean PDF without ever creating an account or entering a credit card. That's not a trial. That's the product.
Resume data is stored in your browser's local storage. We don't have a database of resumes. We can't see your work, sell your information, or share it with recruiters. If you clear your browser, it's gone. That's by design.
Our AI features suggest stronger bullet points and generate summaries based on your actual experience. They're meant to improve your writing, not replace it. A recruiter should meet you on paper, not a language model.
No countdown timers. No fake urgency. No "your resume has 12 critical errors" scare tactics. Our ATS checker runs 18 real checks and gives you honest feedback. If your resume scores well, we tell you that.
We have four templates, not four hundred. We don't have a mobile app. We don't support languages other than English yet. We're newer and smaller than Resume.io, Canva, or Zety.
What we do have: a fast editor, genuine AI writing help, a detailed ATS scorer, and a free PDF export with no strings attached. We think that's enough to build a great resume. We're adding more every week.
StellaCV runs entirely in your browser. Your resume is stored in local storage and rendered client-side. PDFs are generated on your device, not a server.
AI features (bullet suggestions, summary generation, job tailoring) send only the relevant section text to the AI model and return suggestions. We don't store prompts or responses.
The ATS scorer runs 18 weighted checks across four categories: contact info, content quality, formatting, and completeness. It's a pure function that runs locally on your data. Nothing leaves your browser.
No sign-up. No credit card. No watermarks. Just open the editor and start building.
