The toolkit / Résumé
Free LaTeX résumé builder, no TeX install
Import moderncv, Awesome-CV, AltaCV or Jake's Resume, edit visually, export back.
The overview
A little less work. A better starting point.
Paste a .tex file and see it as a live résumé: sections, colours, margins and fonts all read from the source. Edit visually or in the built-in editor with lint, then export back to LaTeX in five flavours, ready for Overleaf or a local pdflatex run. No TeX distribution required.
01 / Capabilities
What it does
Five classes understood
moderncv, Awesome-CV, AltaCV, Jake's Resume (sb2nov) and plain article-based résumés, plus most templates built on them.
Style travels with the text
Colours from definecolor and colorlet, base font size, paper size, margins, section spacing and the main font all come through as real styling rather than being dropped.
Your own sections survive
Headings the parser does not recognise become custom sections with their own heading colours, and they round-trip back to LaTeX unchanged.
An editor that catches mistakes
Unbalanced braces, unknown environments and stray commands are flagged as you type, which is most of what a first compile would have told you.
Export in five flavours
Any résumé built in the app exports to LaTeX as Vulture, Jake, moderncv, Awesome-CV or AltaCV, with colours, margins and section order intact.
02 / The workflow
How to use it
- Open the LaTeX résumé builder and paste your .tex source, or upload the file.
- Check the live preview: sections, colours and spacing should match your compiled PDF.
- Edit in the visual editor, or keep working in LaTeX with lint on.
- Score the result against a job description like any other résumé.
- Export back to LaTeX, or straight to PDF and DOCX if you no longer need the source.
03 / Good to know
Questions, answered.
Do I need LaTeX installed?
No. Parsing, preview and export all happen in the app. You only need a TeX install if you want to compile the exported source yourself.
Will my Overleaf template work?
If it is built on moderncv, Awesome-CV, AltaCV, Jake's Resume or the article class, almost certainly. Unrecognised headings are kept as custom sections rather than lost.
Is the LaTeX output clean?
It is written to be readable and compilable: real class options, no wrapper macros, and the same structure you would have written by hand.
Can I go from Word to LaTeX?
Yes. Import the DOCX, then export as LaTeX in whichever flavour you want.
