Yes! The app auto-saves every change to your account once you're signed in. You can also export as JSON to back up your data and import it anywhere.
Do I need to create an account to start building?
No — you can start building immediately. An account is only needed when you want to save your resume to the cloud, enable Talent Discovery, or use Messaging.
Can I build more than one resume?
Yes, unlimited resumes — build a different version for each type of role you're targeting.
Does it work on mobile?
Yes, Resuma IQ is fully responsive. On mobile, the form and preview stack vertically. We recommend desktop for the best experience with the split-screen live preview.
Templates
Can I switch templates without losing my data?
Absolutely. Your resume content is stored separately from the template. Switch between all 5 templates instantly using the header pills or keyboard shortcuts 1–5.
Which template should I pick?
New to the industry? Modern Professional. Engineer or dev? Developer. 10+ years experience? Compact One Page. Design/creative role? Minimal Clean or Elegant Sidebar. See the full Templates guide.
Are all 5 templates free?
Yes, all 5 are free with no watermark, unlimited use.
Export
How do I get a PDF without watermarks?
Simply click "Export PDF" in the toolbar. It's generated entirely in your browser — clean, professional, and completely free of any watermark or branding. Multi-page export is supported.
Is there an export limit?
No — export as many times as you like, in any format, completely free.
Can I re-import a JSON export later?
Yes — import your JSON file back into the builder anytime to restore your resume exactly as it was.
ATS
Are the templates really ATS-friendly?
All 5 templates follow ATS best practices: clean structure, standard section headings, web-safe fonts, no images/tables in content areas, and semantic structure ATS parsers read accurately.
What makes a resume fail ATS scanning?
Complex tables/columns, images/graphics in the body, non-standard fonts, text boxes, and key info tucked into headers/footers. None of Resuma IQ's templates do this.
Talent Discovery
Do I have to pay to enable Talent Discovery?
No — it's included free with every account, no upgrade needed.
Can recruiters message me directly without my consent?
They can send an interest signal, but your contact details are never exposed automatically — you choose whether and how to respond. See the full Talent Discovery page.
Are recruiters actually verified?
Yes — every recruiter account is reviewed and activated by Resuma IQ before it can access the Talent pool.
Messaging
Can anyone message me, or just recruiters?
Only recruiters who found you through Talent Discovery — and only after they message first. Other candidates can never message you.
Can I schedule interviews inside the chat?
Yes — recruiters propose a date, time, and location or video link directly in the thread, and you accept or decline with one tap.
Rewards
When does a referral count?
Only after your friend registers using your link and creates their first resume. See the full Rewards page for all 11 reward tiers.
How much cashback can I earn?
Up to ₹6,000 at the top tier (5,000 successful referrals), with cashback milestones starting at 250 referrals (₹100).
Privacy
Does my data get stored on your servers?
Yes. To provide account access, resume synchronization, and secure backups, your resume data is stored in our database when you create an account. Your resumes remain private and are only accessible to you unless you explicitly enable "Share with Recruiters." We never sell your personal data to third parties.
Can I delete my account and data?
Yes, anytime — deleting your account removes your resumes and personal data from our systems. See the full Privacy & Security page.
Pricing
Is Resuma IQ really free?
Yes, 100% free — forever. There are no premium plans, no watermarks, no export limits, and no subscription fees.
Will there be a paid plan in the future?
