What you get

  • 47 original templates in 13 styles

    Templates we designed ourselves: ATS-friendly single column, classic, modern two-column, creative, minimal, executive, tech, medical, engineering, teaching, students and fresh graduates, Iraqi and Gulf style, and bilingual.

  • Proper Arabic, and both languages

    Right-to-left layout, Arabic fonts such as IBM Plex Sans Arabic, Cairo, Tajawal and Amiri, Arabic month names in either style (كانون الثاني or يناير), plus optional Hijri dates and Arabic-Indic digits.

  • Preview with real pages

    See the CV exactly as it will print on A4 or Letter. Headings are never left alone at the bottom of a page, and long entries continue on the next page between bullet points.

  • ATS check before you send

    Flags missing contact details, unusual headings, bullets without action verbs or numbers, date order, length, and missing translations in bilingual mode. It is guidance and cannot guarantee any hiring system will accept your CV.

  • PDF, Word, image and backup

    A PDF with real, selectable Arabic text (or print and save as PDF from your browser), a Word (DOCX) file in a simple single-column layout, a PNG of page 1, and a JSON file to back up or move your CV.

  • Drafts saved, no watermark

    Drafts save automatically in your browser on this device, and you can keep several CVs, duplicate and rename them. No account needed; if you sign in, you can also save CVs to your free account.

Frequently asked questions

How do I make a CV in Arabic for free?

Pick a template, set the CV language to Arabic, fill in the sections and watch the live preview. When you are done, tap “Download PDF” or print and save as PDF from your browser. It is free, adds no watermark and needs no account.

Can I make one CV in both Arabic and English?

Yes. In bilingual mode you write each field in Arabic and English, then choose the layout: both columns side by side, or the Arabic pages first and the English pages after. The ATS check lists any fields you forgot to translate.

Are the templates ATS-friendly?

The ATS-style templates use a single column, standard headings and real text, which applicant tracking systems usually read most reliably. The built-in check flags common problems, but nobody can guarantee a particular system will accept your CV, because each employer configures its own.

Can I edit my CV in Word afterwards?

Yes. Export a Word (DOCX) file and edit it in Word or a similar app. The Word file uses a simple single-column layout to stay easy to edit, so it won't match the template design exactly. Use the PDF for the full design.

Is my CV data sent to a server?

Editing, preview, drafts, Word export and printing from the browser all happen on your device. Only the “Download PDF” button sends the CV content to our server over an encrypted connection to create the file, and it is deleted right after. To keep everything on your device, print the CV and choose “Save as PDF”.

Where are my drafts saved, and do I need an account?

Drafts save automatically in your browser on this device, so clearing browser data or switching devices means they won't be there. To move them, export a JSON file and import it, or sign in and save your CVs to your free account. An account is optional.

Should I put a photo on my CV?

It depends on where you apply: many employers in Iraq and the Gulf expect a photo, while many companies elsewhere prefer CVs without one. You can show or hide the photo, make it a circle, rounded or square, and crop it.

The portal wants a smaller file. What can I do?

A text-based CV PDF is usually small; the photo is what normally adds size. If it is over the portal limit, use Compress PDF and choose the exact size you need, then open the file and check it is still clear.
