Free CV templates in Word and PDF
Every CV template here is free on your first conversion. They work differently from blank downloads: you upload the CV you already have and get it back in the template, as a PDF and as an editable Word document from the same version, so each one also works as a CV template for Word. Nothing is retyped.
ATS-friendly CV templates
For online applications, choose a single-column template: the classic, minimal, timeline, banner, compact and curved families keep your text in reading order when an applicant tracking system extracts it. How to test any CV template in two minutes

Try one with your CVIs there a truly free CV template?
Yes: every one of the 57 CV templates here is included in your free first conversion, with no card. They work differently from blank Word files: you upload the CV you already have and get it back in the template, ready to download as PDF and Word. If you want a blank file to fill in by hand, Microsoft Word's built-in templates are free too.
What is the best CV template for the UK?
A single-column, reverse-chronological layout with your name and current role at the top and dates on every job. In this library that means the classic, minimal, timeline and banner families; the UK CV layout examples compare them side by side.
Which CV templates are ATS-friendly?
Single-column ones: classic, minimal, timeline, banner, compact and curved families all keep your text in reading order. Sidebar (two-column) templates are better kept for CVs a person will read directly. The ATS-friendly CV template guide explains how to test any template in two minutes.
Can I use these CV templates in Word?
Yes. Every template exports as a Word document (DOCX) as well as a PDF, from the same version of your CV. The PDF is exact; the Word file is a close approximation that stays editable.
Are these real CV examples?
Yes. Every preview is a real render of the same sample candidate, Sarah Mitchell, a senior marketing manager, produced by the renderer that will produce your export. Each preview is an example CV of the same person, so these are good CV examples for comparing layouts rather than content. The best CV examples to judge a template by are your own, which the free conversion lets you try, and the category pages have more examples of CV layouts by career stage.
Do you have graduate, executive and creative CV templates?
Yes, nine categories: graduate, executive, creative, modern, simple and minimal, technical, professional and corporate, recruitment agency and stylish.
Can a recruitment agency add its own logo and colours?
Yes, on the agency plans: your logo, colours and fonts apply to any stock template, or you can build your own agency CV template in the browser with no setup fee.
