🔄 A FlowCV alternative
A FlowCV alternative — real layout control, not just a template picker
29 templates and every layout and typography control, free on every plan. Two-column layouts you actually configure, designs built for the country you're applying in, and an honest ATS read against the real job ad.
All 29 templates free · EU-hosted · works in 16 languages
The layout belongs to you
Most builders let you pick a template and live with its structure. Here, the template brings the look — you decide the shape.
One column or two — your call
Switch any template between one and two columns, choose exactly which sections sit in the sidebar, put it on the left or the right, and set how wide it runs. The layout is yours, not the template’s.
Typography you control, free
Font family, size, margins and spacing are all yours to set on every plan — including Free. Pick a template for its look, then tune it until it reads the way you want.
Change design, keep everything
Content and design are stored separately, so switching template carries your text, section order and layout choices with it. Try all of them; retype nothing.
What you see is exactly what exports
Every template renders through one engine, so the live preview and the exported PDF are produced by the same code. There is no separate export path to drift out of sync — what is on your screen is what lands in the recruiter's inbox, in clean, parseable structure that Applicant Tracking Systems read without tripping.
29 templates — and every one of them is free
No design is held back for a paid tier. Build with any of them, switch as often as you like.
Built for one country
Hiring conventions differ by market — above all on photos. Germany, the Netherlands and Poland commonly expect one; the US, Canada and the UK expect none. So these come in pairs, one with a photo and one without:
- Germany
- United States
- Canada
- UK & Ireland
- Netherlands
- Poland
Formats with their own rules
Some applications don't want a résumé — they want a specific document, set out the way that field expects it.
- A proper German tabellarischer Lebenslauf, with Bewerbungsfoto and signature block
- A publications-first layout for researchers and academics
- ATS-first designs stripped of decoration, for machine screening
- A senior-executive European CV format
A good-looking résumé is the start, not the finish
Getting the document right is one problem. Getting past the screener is another.
Checked against the real job
Paste the actual job ad and get a match score, the keywords you are missing, and a rewrite that closes the gap — before you apply, not after the rejection.
Works in 16 languages
Write or import in your own language and the whole toolkit works in it — grammar help, coaching, ATS checking and tailoring. It never quietly reverts to English.
Private by design
EU-hosted in the Netherlands, no ad or third-party trackers, and your content never trains any AI model. Built on open JSON Resume, so your data stays portable.
FlowCV alternative — frequently asked questions
Is CopilotResume a good FlowCV alternative?
If you want real control over how your résumé is laid out — not just which template it uses — CopilotResume is built for that. All 29 templates and every layout and typography control are free on every plan, including one- or two-column layouts where you choose which sections sit in the sidebar. On top of that you get a real ATS check against the actual job ad you are applying for.
Are the templates really free?
Yes — all 29 templates are available on every plan, including Free, and so are the layout and font controls. You can build a complete résumé, switch designs as often as you like, and see the live preview without paying. Premium unlocks unlimited PDF and Word exports plus the AI toolkit — ATS checking, job tailoring and cover letters.
Can I choose a two-column layout?
Yes, and properly. You can switch any template between one and two columns, decide exactly which sections belong in the sidebar, put the sidebar on the left or the right, and set how wide it is. Add or remove a photo and choose where it sits. The layout belongs to you, not to the template — so switching design never forces you back into someone else’s structure.
Do you have templates for specific countries?
Yes — and this is where CopilotResume goes further than most builders. Hiring conventions differ by market, above all on photos: Germany, the Netherlands and Poland commonly expect one, while the US, Canada and the UK expect none. So the country-specific designs come in pairs — one with a photo, one without — for Germany, the United States, Canada, the UK and Ireland, the Netherlands and Poland. There is also a proper German tabellarischer Lebenslauf with a signature block, and a publications-first format for academics.
Will my résumé still parse through an ATS?
Yes. Every template renders through one engine that emits clean, parseable structure — no text boxes or graphics that break Applicant Tracking Systems — and what you see in the preview is exactly what exports. The built-in ATS Checker then scores your finished résumé against a real job ad and shows the keywords you are missing.
Can I switch templates without retyping anything?
Yes. Your content and your design are stored separately, so you can move between any of the templates with one click and your text, section order and layout choices carry straight over.
Where is my data stored?
In the EU. CopilotResume is built and hosted in the Netherlands, there are no ad or third-party trackers, and your content never trains any AI model. Your résumés are stored in the open JSON Resume format, so your data stays portable rather than locked into a proprietary one.
