Question 1

How do I know my data is really private?

Accepted Answer

Because you can check. Resuvox runs entirely in your browser — your resume is stored locally and never sent anywhere. There's no account, no server, and no analytics. Open your browser's network tab and you'll see zero outbound requests, even for fonts, which we self-host.

Question 2

If it's free and open source, what's the catch?

Accepted Answer

There isn't one. Resuvox is open source. There's no paid tier, no export paywall, and no data to monetize because we never collect any. Self-host it, or run it offline forever.

Question 3

Is the ATS score real, or AI guesswork?

Accepted Answer

It's deterministic, not a guess. The same resume and job description always produce the same score, and it shows exactly which keywords matched and which are missing — so you can fix your resume with confidence.

Question 4

Where is my data stored?

Accepted Answer

Only in your browser, using local storage. Nothing is sent anywhere. Clear your browser data and it's gone — so use Backup to keep a copy.

Question 5

Will my résumé pass ATS scans?

Accepted Answer

The exported PDF and Word files use real, selectable text (not an image), and there's a built-in ATS check that scores structure and keyword coverage against a job description.

Question 6

Can I move my résumé to another computer?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Export a full backup (one file) or a single JSON Resume file, then import it in any browser.

Question 7

Do I need to create an account?

Accepted Answer

No. There's no sign-up, no email, and no login — open Resuvox and start editing immediately. Most builders make you register before you can even see the editor; Resuvox never does.

Question 8

What's the difference between a CV and a resume?

Accepted Answer

A resume is a concise, one-to-two page summary tailored to a specific job (common in the US). A CV is a longer, comprehensive record of your academic and professional history (standard in academia and much of Europe). Resuvox builds both — pick a compact template for a resume, or add sections for a full CV.

Question 9

What file formats can I download?

Accepted Answer

A crisp vector PDF with real, selectable text; an editable Word (.docx) that mirrors your template; and the open JSON Resume format. Every export is free and unlimited — no paywall, no watermark.

Question 10

How long should my resume be?

Accepted Answer

For most roles, one page — two if you have 10+ years of experience. Resuvox auto-fits your content to a single page when it's close, and shows live page-break guides so you always know where you stand.
